I'm back and I'm MARRIED!!!
So I didn't sleep a wink the night before the wedding and my nerves had my stomach feeling like acid but my mom got my ginger ale and saltines and I felt better. Everything went off without a hitch schedule wise and besides the limo being 15 minutes late it was amazing
I only cried a little walking down the aisle and I made it through the vows without bawling like I did at the rehearsal dinner haha. My husband cried a little too and he kept tearing up throughout the ceremony.. it was so sweet.
The only thing that REALLY sucks is once I arrived at the reception I felt like CRAP. I mean, lightheaded, sick to my stomach, dizzy and hot. I had everyone leave the bridal suite and spent the whole time we were supposed to be taking formal photos being cooled down with ice and sipping water. My pregnant SIL had anti nausea dissolving strips but it didn't really help.
We did the big bridal party entrance and I was great for that but once I sat down the dress was like crushing my rib cage and I felt light headed again. I was in and out of the reception room trying to cool down and relax. I really hate that I probably missed an hour or two of the reception trying to avoid getting sick. There was a prom going on upstairs and one of the kids had to leave in an ambulance and the maitre'd told everyone in our room that it was ME in the ambulance!!! So my husband FLEW up to the bridal suite looking for me and was so worried and then had to go back to our room and tell everyone it wasn't me lol.
But in between fainting spells I danced like an animal (which probably didnt help but it was worth it) and talked to everyone and had an INCREDIBLE time. All my guests packed the dance floor the whole night, and the DJ was awesome. Our videographers were awesome and I'm SO glad we went with them. They were with us the whole day and had some awesome ideas for our video, which I'll post when we get.
Despite the setbacks we're still married and I'm the happiest person in the world
we're leaving for St Lucia next week!
