Hi! I just need to get vent about my wedding. First off, I must say, I am truely happy being married to my best friend. Seeing him at the end of the aisle was the greatest feeling. I had a completely Murphy's Law wedding. I got married the wedding of the huge storm that hit the east coast that knocked out a lot of power. The storm hit the night of the rehearsal dinner. I woke up the next morning and the hotel had no power or generator, the truck with the food was stuck behind a tree and there was no way we could do our reception there. Thankfully I got an early start in the day. I had to drive the neighboring city in hopes of finding a hotel to take a shower before my 930 hair appointment, thankfully I was able to. We had to scramble to work the who reception. We had to move it to the neighboring city and ended up with pizza, spaghetti and baked ziti from a local business for our food instead of a well thought out menu that we had planned. I get a call later on from my liimo driver. I reserved a 1950s Rolles Royce to leave the reception and he notified me that the limo was broke down and had been broke down since the time I reserved it. I ended up getting dressed in a small room at an interstate Motel 6 instead of the large suite I had reserved at the original hotel. Or reception went from a large ballroom to a tiny conference room. Our open bar turned to water, tea and lemoade only. I had paper plates from dollar tree. Most of the things I had planned, created etc for the reception ended up not even being used.The wedding was outside and my finance told me, "oh don't worry about snakes. There will not be any", and of course, a snake was near where I had to stand to wait to go down the aisle. The people at the wedding site was not able to put microphones at the site and we had no PA system. With the gas stations being very backed up and busy, the second shooter who was to take pictures of me getting ready was late, and my husband was nearly late becuase of the same reason. And the ceremony was getting set up as the guests were waiting for it to start. To top everything off a guest wore white. Not just a white dress, but white shoes, necklace, earrings etc.
It is just hard because we saved and sacrificed so much during planning to have the wedding/reception of our dreams. Everything was DIY and lots of time and effort was put in it. I have to say too, everyone pulled together and helped so much. It was great to see everyone we love there and spend the day with us. And I am truely blessed to be married to my best friend.
