The Tale of the Big Day!!!

The days surrounding our wedding were incredibly fun! The Wedding Fiesta was our mexican theme rehearsal dinner. It was a chance to let our hair down & see everyone who had traveled so far. We drank - we danced - we ate! It was a blast!

As you can see by the picture on the first page - the day started out quite spectacular! It kept up in the same fashion. So much excitement & nervousness all at the same time! The wedding party was a real family affair. My sister was my maid of honour, my brothers long time girlfriend was my bridesmaid & my beloved uncle was my bridesman. Tim's brother was his best man, my brother was best man #2, & Tim's longtime great friend Alex was the groomsman.

My attendants each fell into a specific role. Lynn , my sister & maid of honour, was great at keeping me centered & relaxed. Kate, my bridesmaid, was great at reminding me of the joy in this event with her tears. Christopher, my bridesman, was great at being nervous so I was not & keeping us laughing the whole time!

Our mother's looked amazing ! Showing up the bride & groom even! (But they're allowed) The dad's were looking rather dapper themselves. The guests looked like an Oprah audience - everyone looked fabulous!

The ceremony went off with out a hitch. I did flub up at one crucial moment when I said "Oh Yea" instead of " I do". Apparently it entertained many people. But I did bounce back & say the proper phrase in the end. But someone would rather I not forget my boo-boo!

The reception was held in Flint Hill as well.- Everything there was GREAT! It was everything I wanted it to be - just not long enough. My Very Cool 11 year old Cousin Kathryn caught the bouquet & My brother caught the garter (Kate was very happy !) Everytime I looked around - all I saw were people smiling & laughing. It was wonderful to know so many people had fun at the kickoff party to our marriage.

We stayed at the Ritz the night of the wedding. Lets just say - not too shabby! I'd Highly recommend it! We're still waiting to see where we end up & then well start planning the honeymoon!

I'll update this when I remember more - probably after I see the video!
