Marriage

I'm going to answer your questions... LOL 1. I wasn't nervous about planning my wedding, I was excited, and I had it all done in 2 weeks!!! 2. The nervousness kicked in the night before my wedding. (Too late to back out now - LOL) 3. Faults in the planning - yes, but nothing I could have controlled. There was a fire on the highway on our way to the chapel, it delayed us (bride and maid of honour and bridesmaids) for a full 40 minutes. My husband thought I was not going to show up. 4. Our wedding had about 110 guests. We each had our primary person - maid of honour, best man and two others, plus ring bearer and flower girl, so 8 of us in the limo!! 5. I remember eating a lot of Prawns... they were so delicious. We had a beautiful spread, although I can't remember what the main dish was. Probably roast beef. 6. The place where we had our reception was already mostly decorated. It had beautiful white lights strung up tastefully everywhere. I made the centre pieces for the tables and the wedding favours - handmade hand painted paper mache boxes containing a "hug" and a "kiss" chocolates. 7. I think since we got married in 1999, it was the last of the 90's, it was sort of a "do whatever you like" time. We planned things like "doing the limbo" etc., to make it non-traditional where ever we could. 8. We had a civil ceremony with a Justice of the Peace, neither of us is particularly religious. We loved each other then and still do now, and I wanted to elope, but my husband wanted the big wedding. Meh - if I had to do it over again, I'd be on a beach in Mexico getting married. 9. Yes, we are still married - 10 years this year! 10. Yes, we wrote our own vows, mostly. I added in a few paragraphs about him helping with dishes... that got quite a few laughs at the ceremony. He was totally shocked. LOL. That's just me though, I love to make people laugh.
