Inspired by a recent post by Mennobrarian, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite memories of my wedding day! I would rather have waited to post this on our anniversary, but that's not for quite a few more months yet, and I surely would forget!
Our wedding was in early December, but the church decided to decorate for Christmas anyways! So hubby's family had completely undecorate the whole church before the wedding (a morning wedding), decorate it for the wedding, undecorate the wedding, and redecorate for a Christmas party at the church early that evening!!! They pulled it off beautifully, and I never would have known had they not mentioned it!
My grandpa came all the way from California despite poor health and the fact that my grandma couldn't come either! He had also sworn he would never again come to Colorado after he had visited once during a terrible storm and slipped and broke his shoulder. It was such an honor to me that he came anyways!
I, unlike most brides, was completely ready and actually bored about an hour before I had to walk down the isle! I hadn't eaten breakfast and was starving!!! So my mom put my wedding dress bag over me and my dress like a giant overcoat and my aunt ran to a fast food place and picked up a burger for me. There I sat in the bride's ready room, pigging out in my wedding dress!
I did get nervous when it was getting close to time and hubby still hadn't arrived! He later tells the story this way: he originally left for the wedding on time, but forgot the bouquet! He and his best friend rushed back home and got the bouquet. He then said that his friend was speeding down the highway to get him to the church on time, and he told his friend that he would rather make it there late than not at all (a suggestion to slow down!)
Anyhow, it all went off without any hitches, other than our own, of course!
Happy Trails! |
