That's what our guests have been saying!
Here's a semi-brief recap of the rollercoaster wedding week:
Monday - We find out that two bridal party members (groomswoman and jr. groomsman) may not be coming. Neither tells us directly. We find out about groomswoman through her FB status and about jr. groomsman through the best man (his uncle). I still didn't believe that jr. groomsman wasn't coming, since he's a child, I felt certain that his mom would make him follow through on his commitment.
Thursday - Turns out groomswoman really isn't coming because she waited until the car died three days after the indicator light came on to get it looked at and apparently has never heard of rental cars. The groomsman has the stomach flu and thinks he won't make it. I still think jr. groomsman's mom will make him come. We find out that FI's sister, one of the bridesmaids, is having twins.
Friday - FI's sister is sick and misses the bridesmaid luncheon. Groomsman feels better and says he will make the wedding! We have a fantastic rehearsal dinner at Sonny Bryan's, and I stay at a beautiful B&B with my MOHs.
Saturday - Jr. groomsman mom posts on FB that she's looking forward to a relaxing Saturday with nothing to do.
I guess she let her 11 year old child tell her what to do. She never said a single word to Courts or me.
But in the end, everything turned out beautifully. The day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and I loved every minute of it. My vendors (DJ Glenn Roush, photographer Lynn Michelle, and coordinator Meredith Commender) made sure everything went smoothly and if there were any problems, I still don't know about them. And I have been getting so many wonderful comments from the guests about it being the (best, most amazing, most unique, insert superlative here) wedding they've ever been to. I really felt like all my hard work came together and everyone had a lot of fun, which was my main goal all along. And actually, my dad said that people were taking home the posters I made as souvenirs at the end of the night!
We still have family in town from Switzerland through Friday, so I will get to the vendor reviews as soon as I can!
