I got married...with a little drama along the way;)

Well it's official.  We tied the knot in Vegas on Saturday, July 2nd, and got home at 1:30 am this morning.  I had to be on another flight at 8:00 am for work so I'm a little tired right now.  I'll post reviews and a few pics this weekend.

If you want a little of the drama, read on...

My mom and MIL buying the same dress for the wedding was seriously minor stuff compared to my Vegas experience.  Here's a not-so-quick highlight reel:  my only sister finds out the week before the wedding she has gestational diabetes and may not be able to fly, the day before her flight a second test confirms she can not fly and will not make my wedding, the day of my wedding I wake up and my left eye is swollen shut, I am so distraught over my eye that I have a few cocktails before the ceremony to relax and wait for the steroids to kick in, eye gets better and after ceremony I'm so happy I drink LOTS of champagne, pretty drunk during photo tour and am certain we gave Todd more "party pic" material vs. "wedding portrait," lost my camera somewhere on photo tour, woke up next day and left foot is swollen and bruised from an injury I can only assume occurred on the Mix dance floor, limped around Vegas rest of trip, land last night at 11:00 pm and get to my car however I realize I've also lost my car key, as I'm flinging things out of my bag in search of said key my husband starts putting our bags into a strangers truck who's offered us a ride, horrified I run after him and leave several magazines on top of my car...one holds the Las Vegas post card that a very nice Kansas City Chiefs player signed a lovely note addressed to us while waiting at baggage claim, survived a dark ride in the back seat of a kind stranger's truck.

Still no camera, key, or post card.  My foot is still swollen and walking with a limp.  But I'm effing married!!!! 

*SO HAPPY*

    Congrats!! Sounds like you had a great time!

    Your hubby sounds like my FI in that he would take a ride from a stranger without consulting me...

    Anyway, glad you had so much fun! Sorry about your sister.

    You have an amazing attitude, focusing on what matters most.  I do hope you're able to find your missing items and walk w/out a limp soon...(and I hope your sister is ok!)

    Thanks everyone for your kind words and well wishes.  It wasn't a "perfect" wedding but it was still pretty awesome.  The best advice I can give any bride-to-be is not to worry when things do not go according to plan.  Yes, easier said than done but in the end the most important thing is the marriage itself.  The rest are details that will work themselves out.

    If my eye did not go down I was ready to bedazzle an eye patch to wear.  My husband declared he would wear one too.  Then so did the rest of our family.  I wish we would have put them on just for a few photos but we were having so much fun we forgot.

    Definately not "stuffy wedding material", other than your sis not being in attendance it sounds like you had an amazing time! That's including the parts you remember and the parts you'll later remember over photos!
    Party Pics -vs- Wedding Photos.... When your wedding is so much fun that this line is blurred we are all envious :) Congrats to You and your Mr!
