Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh

wedding review (long)!

Our wedding day was amazing. I know everyone says that... but it's true. The week leading up to it I managed not to get stressed at all. I'm so thankful that I just took everything in stride. I went to a wedding back in June and the bride said "I was printing table names last night", so I refused to let myself get to that point! We had our first meeting before the ceremony which turned out much better than I expected. I wasn't 100% for it but I enjoyed it. I was much more emotional than I thought I would be! My only complaint about taking pics before the ceremony was that we arrived at the church together and it kinda felt like we were already married! I don't know how to explain it better. Throughout the whole planning process I have always been concerned with my health. (Most of you know I have several different health issues). Well on the way to church I started to get really sick. It wasn't nerves... b/c like I said I felt like we were already married. So the 20 minutes leading up to the ceremony, I wasn't sure how in the world I was going to walk down that aisle! My brother walked me down the aisle to DH(!!!) and he was crying so hard! He could barely make it through his vows (awwww)! I was feeling so sick (stupid liver) that I almost had to ask the Reverend if we could sit down to finish the ceremony... haha. But we made it through :) The reception was great. We were announced wearing our personalized hockey jerseys. He was wearing a Flyers jersey and I was in a Pens jersey... both said our new last name on them. I was the "Captain" and he was the "Assistant" ;) Everyone loved them but harassed me a lil for marrying a Flyers fan :) There were so many memorable parts of the reception but I would be here typing forever. Looking back I truly can't think of anything that didn't go the way I had planned. Everything about the wedding and the reception fit us so well! I also have to AW out that our one group of friends... bought us Walt Disney World tickets!!! They said they wanted to make sure we go on a honeymoon... how awesome are they?! Sorry for the WOT... maybe vendor reviews next?

    Thank you all so much! Btw- I can't take credit for the slip. Not only did I steal the idea off of Angela but I even bought her slip! Thank you Angela!
