The day was absolutely amazing! Everyone said it was the greatest wedding they've ever been to, I got so many compliments on the little details. My Aunt made the cake and it was phenomenal, I cried everytime anyone even mentioned it haha. My bouquet was so fricken pretty! I was so in love with it!! I loved having day of coordinators set everything up, it made everything go pretty much stress free!
We did have a few snags, the salon we went to was pretty awful. They did a good job on me, but two of my bridesmaids looked like they had clown makeup on and lots of orange streaks of foundation. We were able to cover up some of the makeup on my younger cousin with just a hint of foundation, but my friend completely washed her face and then redid her own makeup since there was no hope for her lol. We also had to have my grandma pin her hair down so she didn't look like she was from the Jersey Shore with the ridiculous bump they had put in lol.
Also, the DJ screwed up EVERYTHING he mixed up the garter/bouquet toss songs, and he ignored our playlist completely, he also played our first dance song during dinner when H wasn't even near me, so he shut it off after a good minute then went back to dinner music!
The backyard where our wedding took place was so muddy from the non-stop rain the 5 days before the wedding. Everyone was sinking, it made pictures difficult, and my feet were hurting so bad in my shoes that I had to change into flats about 10 minutes after the ceremony. They have pictures of the fact that it took about 6 people crowded around me to change my shoes lol.
Oh and one of our groomsman implied that we're basically nymphos in his speech, I was mortified!!!
The live band was amazing though, thanks H and the GMs! lol Although mostly everyone left after they played so we ended up packing up a few hours earlier than expected, but by then we were all so exhausted so it worked out well.
Ok, so this post sounds like I'm complaining, but all of those things that happened didn't really bother anyone too much. It was definitely the perfect day, if only it didn't go so fast! There are people that I didn't even get to see or talk to at the wedding.
My advice is: GET SOME SLEEP! I got a total of 8 hours of sleep Friday-Sunday and I was so exhausted by the time we got to our Mini-moon hotel that all I wanted to do was sleep.
I will post back with pro pics, hopefully soon!!!
For now this is my favorite:
Our reaction to the Final Fantasy Fanfare music, which none of the guests knew about lol
