Well Chris and I renewed our vows on February 14, 2010. It was a beautiful ceremony. I was so nervous when I finally got to the church.
My younger sister was suppose to put tips on my nails the night before the wedding and had me cut all of my other nails off, which wasn't a problem at first. Well at the start the fake nails didn't want to stick and then she finally realized what I tried to tell her that we needed the fill-in for it, so it would look right. This was all at about 12am. So I had to try and find a nail salon open on a Sunday. That was really hard to do, but we found one. I was suppose to be at the church by 12:30 to make sure all the decorations were done and so I could get ready in time, but I didn't leave from getting my nails done until about 11:15 and then I had to get home and get everything packed. We didn't leave the house until close to 2pm, and the wedding was at 3pm. I didn't put on makeup or anything before we left. We flew all the way to Butler for the wedding and I got there a little after 2:30 (still not dressed and no makeup on). Well when we got there I had to unload some last minute decorations out of the car. I got some decorations set up, but Nanny told me to just go ahead and put my makeup on and she would handle the decorations. (Some of the guests were already there). So I quickly did my makeup.
Now came the fun part...it's time to get dressed. I had like 5 people trying to help me, but finally my mom and aunt left the room to go put the bows on the pews. I had to put my own veil on because no one could figure it out and it was like 2:55. I thought I looked very pretty in the dress. My aunt's boyfriend came in to take some pics (after I was dressed of course). Come to find out my hubby was a little late to lol.
When it came time to walk down the ring bearer didn't really want to go and the flower girl dumped the flowers out and then threw the pale (it was one from Walmart) at the preacher. That was so funny, I wish I could've gotten it on video.
Here I come down the aisle, it looked like Chris was nervous too, and it looked like he had tears in his eyes. I felt like the preacher was going to talk forever. We lit our unity candle and our song was The Day Before You by Rascal Flatts.
The reception area was gorgeous, the ladies who decorated it did a fantastic job, the wedding cake turned out beautifully, everything seemed to be so perfect. I don't think I could've asked for anything prettier.
We were going to wait until Monday to go on our honeymoon but one of my aunts and her daughter were at my grandparents house so my grandparents paid for us a night at a hotel. That was really nice (until I got a headache and threw up the next morning, the weird thing is I'm not sure what caused it and after vomitting that one time I was fine).
I booked our honeymoon in Forsyth it was really nice. We might drive back up there one day and eat at Grits Cafe (if I can ever figure out when they're open). We had a fantastic time. It was so relaxing and the hotel was wonderful. We hated that we only had 2 nights, but that was better than none at all. We have decided to make a vacation section in the budget book and if nothing else put $10 here and there and save up for our anniversary to go on a trip.
I love ebeing able to go somewhere to just relax once in awhile, everyone needs a break to be the one they love. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Chris. He makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. I couldn't ask for more.

Ok, my first question is, why didn't you pack everything the day before?
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was great. I can't wait until I get a chance to do it. I don't think I could have gotten ready as fast as you did. That is impressive.
I'm glad your nanny paid for you a hotel room for a night. I bet that was nice. Just to get away and have fun. :)
Vaction section in your budget is a great idea. We would do that same thing, but we are saving for something else... Kinda can't tell on here, but you know.. :) Maybe you will be able to save for that soon too.
I'm glad Chris makes you feel that way. :) Thats a great way to feel, and he's doing a great job by making you feel that way. :)
We did have everything packed it was just crazy and thanks for saying it was impressive getting things together that quickly. I actually scheduled the honeymoon at like 13:30am (Sunday lol)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to save for that too, but I think I'm about to start putting things in a budget for a house. We can't wait to be out of that apartment. But everything happens in God's time.
