Our wedding was 6 days ago and it was honestly better than I had expected. Starting with my shower the week before, to the rehearsal dinner, I loved every moment. There were a few bumps in the road, like my sister not trying my dress tight enough (should have gotten my seamstress SIL to do it, but you know, tradition, ugh) so you can see it in loosening up in pictures, but people complimented my dress all night. My hair and make up were flawless. I also took too long screwing around before our first look and didn't get all the pictures I wanted. Totally my fault, I was chatting and drinking champagne not realizing my husband was stranding there in the sweltering heat. That was the other thing - the heat was almost unbearable, luckily we got married inside.
Our Ceremony was shockingly short, about 12 minutes but people kept complimenting me on on how nice the vows and readings were, so I was pleased.
I had a mini meltdown when people were being seated as I had forgotten one couple, but luckily there were a couple no shows and we had a spot for them right at the front. The food was sooo good, the cake amazing, the candy bar and photo booth were both a hit, and my flowers and CP's were unreal and so much better than I had imagined. On of my favorite parts were the speeches, our kissing game (singing a love song) the shoe game and my MC; everyone said it was the funniest and enjoyable dinner reception they had been to! The decorations which I DIY'ed or designed myself were better than expected, the uplighting and everything I had put together blew people away.
The dance went well even though a lot of people left after the meal, and my complaint about the DJ is that he took too many crappy requests from quests and played genre's I specifically said not to play (country..). I wished I had danced more but I was running around talking to everyone the whole time. Our midnight snack of Pizza was the talk of the wedding the day after.
So now I am seriously sad, do not want to go back to work, and with no lists or stress, my anxiety is now just a general cloud of uneasiness. Honeymoon plans are next, but it's still a little up in the air since my husband can't get the dates off that he wanted.
Anyways, that was my wedding.
Edit: I wanted to mention something that surprised me - people stole the centrepeices, the table numbers, and the table number holders as well as the escort cards holders (they cost me A LOT and planned on reselling). Has this happened to anyone else? I Was shocked to see that entire tables were swiped clean of decorations.
