I got married on Friday! It was one heck of a whirlwind day, but it was
so wonderful. H and the groomsmen set up the site and reception
beautifully that morning, and for the most part things went smoothly.
The
only thing that made me have a somewhat freakout was my hair
appointment. My appointment was at 11:30 with my mom's directly
following mine. Well, they didn't take me in until 12:30 and then
decided to squeeze a person in between my mom and I for "quick
highlights." We didn't finish until almost 2pm and my photographer
wanted to get moving at 2:30pm. So we ended up late for a few things and
he didn't get all the shots he wanted. But we were at least on time for
the actual wedding :P
The food was fabulous and my grandpa was
able to officiate, just as I had always wanted for as long as I can
remember. And we got to have a bit of fun with the ceremony by playing
the "Victory fanfare" music from Final Fantasy 6 as our recession music.
My
main advice to anyone about to get hitched on here though is DRINK
WATER AND EAT REAL FOOD before the wedding. I was in such a rush I did
neither of these things and I think it contributed to my feeling sick
late in the night. Also, sleep! I barely did that either because I was
fiddling with things til 3am. I was also overheated from dancing, and
while my dress wasn't overly tight after all of that my stomach was
sensitive and so didn't want to tolerate any pressure on it. Sooo...I
might have thrown up at about 9:30 that night >_> But I felt OK
after! :P And let me tell ya, puking in a wedding dress is both pitiful
and hilarious. So yeah. Avoid that :P
Also for our first dance, H (I put FI at first!) had talked to the DJ about playing a joke where he played several silly songs "by accident" before getting our correct one. "I like Big Butts," "I Ran," by Flock of Seagulls, and also, "The Bad Touch," by the Bloodhound Gang. I was laughing really hard and apparently a fair amount of people thought it was for real, my sister included. Made me laugh even more :P
Now. Onto what you really want. Pics! Not terribly good ones, but teasers all the same
