Bio is in the works...

The link is in my siggy but it is not 100% complete yet.

The day before the wedding was a nightmare and filled with mama drama.  DH was at his breaking point, which I have never seen before because it takes TONS to get him angry.  The day of it was a little better and it rained so we weren't able to do the reveal outside like we wanted but we did it at our ceremony site.  DH was just "whatever" about the reveal but he was SO glad we did it, as well as the private last dance in the end.  Not a lot went right, actually, and I wish I would have gone over the ceremony more than I did.  In my mind I always imagined us holding hands and being close physically but that didn't happen; I only took a sip during our wine ceremony instead of drinking what was left so DH had to drink the rest before we smashed the glass.  I partly regret not having a videographer but two people recorded the ceremony so hopefully that we be enough to please me.

We didn't do a lot of traditional things in the end but it wasn't for a lack of trying.  We ended up staying together the night before and waking up together, which was nice for us.  I don't know if it was a combo of this and the reveal but I wasn't nervous at all.  TMI but I am another bride who did not pee once during the reception; I did after the ceremony and thankfully it wasn't a pain with the dress as with others I have seen in movies and I didn't have to have an entourage...I did it myself! 

We did goody bags for our vendors filled with 2 types of brownies and several kinds of cookies and they LOVED them.  We also did goody bags for the kids; they had coloring books, various games for their age and only cost about $5 each.

    I don't see your link. 

    I'm sorry you had drama!  That is terrible.  My weekend was so relaxing from beginning to end.  I agree the reveal takes all the stress away--I am so glad we did it.

    That is a great idea about goody bags.  I loved our reveal and private last dance especially--those were probably my 2 favorite things.  I also regret not having a videographer.  Thank heavens I had a great photographer.

    I ran up to our hotel room to freshen up right after dinner and as soon as I walked in the door, I had to pee like crazy--there was no getting around it.  So I just hiked up my dress and did it with really no problem.  But I didn't have a huge dress thank goodness.

    I can't wait to see your pictures of NYC! 

    MIL drama was leading up to and after the wedding but not for the days right around the wedding. 

    I didn't pea until I took my dress off.

    If only we were that lucky.  Mine saved the "best" for last but that's okay because everyone except the people she came with were disgusted with her by the end of the reception.  I had people who had never met her before give me their condolences for her being DH's mom.

    Um,good bio and all, but how have you not posted one single photo of yourself yet?

    It's kind of creeping me out. I mean, you had 2 sets of engagement photos taken. Surely there are pics somewhere...
