Big day was last Friday. We had 13 guests (all immediate family) and had a casual ceremony in a historic house and then had dinner (private banquet room hosted by us) at Buca di Beppo (family style Italian food) afterwards.
Right as I got up to the front of the room, I realized I had left the rings in the other room, so my sister (bridesmaid) had to go get them (everybody laughed), our officiant accidentally called FI a woman and immediately corrected himself (everybody including him laughed), and as soon as FI started repeating his vows I cried all the way to the end. He wiped a tear off my face and everybody "awwwwed".
I'm so happy I found the forums and lurked the hell out of them. I was able to avoid some big no-nos and everyone had a fantastic time!
