Hi Ladies!!!
The wedding and honeymoon was great!!!! We actually got to enjoy our reception - it was so much fun, but it is true.... it goes by super fast! However, There was a few mishaps - all before the wedding.
Mishaps - The night before the wedding around 8 p.m. my hair stylist calls and says he will not be able to do my hair.... this started it all. He finally said he would be able to do it. So I go the day of my wedding for my hair and he has an attitude - he does a good job but he didn't "set" the curls. So the curls fell about 30 minutes when I left there and my hair looked a hot mess. We were suppose to get to the hotel about 1, the photographer was meeting us there at 4 to start taking pics. We didn't get to the hotel until 3 and when we are checking in - my room wasn't ready! Me, mom and sis are in the lobby with all of these bags and a wedding dress just waiting. I started to complain so they finally checked us in. My make up artist was suppose to show at 3 - he was a no show and didn't even call! Got a call - a close family member on my side and one on my husband's side both got rushed to the e.r. It was just so CRAZY!!! The harpist got there at 5:30, ceremony was at 6:30, it began to drizzle around 6 for a few minutes and she refused to play. Our wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found, my husband was escorting guests to the ceremony area.... it was just insane! IT was so crazy before the wedding.... i didn't eat or drink anything!
So on the upside - my sis, who is a makeup artist, did my make up and it look fabulous. I called my friend who used to be a hair stylist and she rushed to me to fix my hair. I finished getting ready about 6 so we weren't able to see each other before and take pictures. One of the groomsman talked the harpist into playing and the drizzle stopped before I walked down the aisle.
The ceremony was beautiful. Even though we initially wanted to see each other before the ceremony, I am kind of glad he didn't see me until I walked down the aisle. After the ceremony we took pictures, however, I started feeling really sick from the heat, it was 94 degrees, and from not eating or drinking. We only took a few pictures because I had to go inside - I thought I was going to pass out. I really regret that. I wish we would have taken more pictures. I had a lot of ideas.
The reception - flawless. It was perfect. We had a beautiful reception. It was so much fun. We danced and had a GREAT time - we really did enjoy our reception. However, we didn't get a piece of our wedding cake with the exception of the cake cutting. lol!
Overall, it was GREAT! Everyone keeps telling me how much fun they had, how beautiful it was, etc. It really turned out to be an awesome day with the exception of the insane events before hand.
We had a fabulous honeymoon. Went to Jamaica for 9 days. It was great. We got back Tuesday night and ended up going to Ocean City for a few days because we both had off until Monday (yesterday).
It's crazy that it's all done and over with, it really goes by fast!!! I am glad we had a wedding (we initially thought about going to an island with a few close family members). I wish we could do it again. lol.
Haven't received wedding pics yet... I am nervous about it because we didn't take that many, we took them in only two spots. I think the majority of them will be from the reception. I'll post when I get them. We also had honeymoon pics done. Posted one in siggy and I'll post the others soon.
