PIPing the crap out of you.;)
Okay.. I'm far too tired to write a review right now... but I will say the things that messed up during the wedding, and life moved on! :P
-My bouquet was a disaster. It was horrible. haha.. who cares, all you do is walk down an aisle with it for ten seconds.
-We bought three corsages for the moms/SIL and they were left in the fridge, never worn. :P
- The BMs forgot to flair out my train when I got up the aisle (oops!).
- We got to the end of our first look photo session and were about to start taking pics with the bridal party when it started POURING rain! It's okay. We got a couple cute umbrella pictures
)
- I had the flu Friday-Saturday before the wedding and was throwing up anything I would try to put in my stomach.. yeah..that sucked. even water
... and at the nail salon while getting my nails done. Awesome. So I didn't get to eat anything or drink anything at the wedding... lame.
- I totally forgot to take my gown to the seamstress and have the bustle put in! My dress was so light though, and the train was short enough, that it didn't bug me at all.
Some pip!!
getting hair and makeup done
(don't worry, there's only like 8319582571 clasps :P )
My sister: Here! Hold the champagne and pretend you're enjoying it! :P haha.. The hotel room we got ready in overlooked where H and I were to do the "first look" so I got to watch him drive up and get out o fhis car, walk to the spot and wait for me while I came down to see him
(I know a lot of you are against the garter deal.. it was silly fun though.. and we needed it for the chucking at his face game :P )

Edit after reading more of the post. I saw the pics and looked first. You LOOKED awesome for having the flu!!! Go you and boo to not getting to eat/drink at the wedding. I love your attitude...things happen but life moved on! I was like that too!
I was going to ask the same thing about the kissing game. What is it?
[QUOTE]haha so during the cutting of the cake, the dj had us do fun games to kinda fill that time.. So the kissing game is where I am blindfolded and 5 different people kiss me.. Then I have to pick which one was H. He goes next.. but when he goes it's mostly guys that kiss him :P hahaha..

Shut up! I love this! :)
It was a really fun and silly game! The guests kept telling us how fun it was and how fun the "shoe game" was.
beach- It was actually at the cruise/ferry terminal in Bellingham. We fell in love with the venue because of that giant dome of windows!
Thank you ladies.. We really had an amazing time, and all the little mishaps were not a big deal at all. I was more focused on time management that day than the little mistakes along the way. Plus, it's so true that no one ever notices those things that go wrong. :]
True Story.. We forgot music... one of the GM at the last minute downloaded "Canon in D" on his phone and played it.. Klassy..
I will say that I was anti Dj in the beginning.. I didn't wanna spend the money.. but I am SO SOOOO thankful H put his foot down on that one because he kept the whole flow of the night moving, the announcements were always heard, he ws great at taking requests and feeling out the tone/mood. It was great.
That was bold of you guys! So you walked down the asle to music from a phone? That makes a great story
Is he gone already?
haha aww Sami that is so so sweet! I love the idea of movies playing at a wedding! So creative
yay! Even if it's just for an extra day (although I'm totally hoping for more than that :P ) I'll take it!
Thank you Stan!
Calindi- things didn't go as planned but nothing was upsetting, We pretty much just laughed at everything that went wrong, which really wasn't a lot! The flu sucks but oh well... I still danced my butt off :P
His crew has been delayed a bit so he hasn't left yet
you look BEAUTIFUL in your pictures! So glad to hear things went well..even when things didn't go according to plan
RSVP Date: October 20
I could never look as good as you do with the flu. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself despite everything. Congrats!
Now start getting on pinterest!
You look beautiful! What a wonderful wedding! I love your venue. Where is it?

hike- thank you
Thank you Binx!
prettyirish- THe shoe game was the most popular! That's where we held one shoe of our own and one shoe of each other's and the dj would ask us a question while we're sitting back to back, such as, "who is the biggest flirt" and "who snores the loudest" and "who spends the most time in the mirror" (all three of those were H
Also a hit: Our guest wish tags instead of the guest book. We put them in the water glasses in the beginning of the event, and people could just fill them out as they please at their table, then hang them right there on the centerpieces. we got some silly, sweet, and raunchy ones. Loved it as a guest book alternative!
Also, just got a sneek peek from our photog....
Congratulations Mrs!
Anyway, thanks for reposting! Gorgeous pics! You guys are stunning, and I love your photographers. Did you come up with most of the pose ideas or did they?
Also, my FI would die if I ever suggested I put on his cover in public.
