They say that your wedding day is the happiest day of your life. I agree. I remember feeling very calm and happy all day. I wasn't nervous or frantic like many brides can be.
I didn't freak out when half my flowers froze overnight and we were left with ugly, browned lilies. My Mom and the DJ's wife had to pull the bouquets apart right before the ceremony and put them back together so we would have pretty flowers again. Fortunately the unity candle piece did not freeze because that was my favorite set of flowers.
I didn't freak even though the photographer was a bit of a douche bag (I can call a woman that right?) and got on my last nerve because she wasn't doing what I was asking her to do. It was like 80 degrees outside, I had on a 20lb dress and my 4 inch ivory heels were digging into the grass!
I didn't freak out when the cake topper fell over and sortof smushed the top of our cake. My Mom tried to get a washcloth and clean the cake topper and smooth out the top of the cake but it wasn't pretty. I also didn't freak out when I saw the cake and thought, those flowers look orange, not red. The photographer wasn't able to get a good picture before the cake topper fell but another friend who attended did.
I didn't even get mad when they played The Electric Slide even though I told the DJ I didn't want any of that corny-ass music played at my wedding.
With all of the tiny issue we had that day, the big picture stayed clear in my mind. I was getting married! I wish I could have bottled up all of that happiness and saved it for one of my less graceful days that I would have in the coming years but you know how that goes.
We've been up and down like crazy the past two years. We were given the most beautiful gift we could have ever asked for when had our daughter last year and now not only do I have an awesome husband, but I have someone who is an amazing Father as well.

I didn't freak out when we realized that the limo that was supposed to comfortably hold the entire wedding party was actually really tight even with the 2 or 3 who decided to drive with their spouses.I didn't freak even though the photographer was a bit of a douche bag (I can call a woman that right?) and got on my last nerve because she wasn't doing what I was asking her to do.

No matter what happens, somehow we always figure it out.
Happy Anniversary

DeleteHappy Anniversary! I remember our wedding day was quite the adventure, too. Though, after 30 years, it gets a little fuzzy. I often wish I had journaled back then (that's kind of like blogging, only in a book for you youngsters).
ReplyDeleteHey now...I used to have a journal. This is just easier now!!
