We're married!!! The week before the wedding was super stressful, and included the hotel telling us they didn't have enough tables or glasses and couldn't fit as many people as our signed contract from them said they would. It was all straightened our by Friday night, but it wasn't fun to deal with. The guys and DH's family were all supposed to be in by Thursday night, but one GM and DH's sister got stuck in Chicago. There got in Friday afternoon adn were able to sleep a little before rehearsal and then rest before Saturday.
There were a few issues with flowers (stems were waaaaay too long, so one of my BM's cut them with the kiddie scissors from the Sunday School room we were getting ready in) but the ceremony was perfect.
Looking at the pro pics, there are some pictures I wish we had now, like one with just my brothers and one wtih all of our siblings and some with a few guests I wish we had pics with. I had a list but totally forgot to print it out.
We were running late to the reception and then spent a lot of time visiting tables. I wish we'd had more time to dance. We even left the reception later than planned and still felt rushed. That's the only negative to the day.
Marriage has been amazing. Aruba was just perfect and we're slowly getting into a routine at home.
