Finally writing about my wedding

Decorating for my wedding was a challenge. My fiancé’s sister came over and after many hours we got it all done. Later I went out to do something and saw all the artificial ivy we had put up with double sided tape fell down from the moisture on the tent. I had to get a hot glue gun and glue it all back up. When I woke up in the morning I saw that the moisture had made all the artificial ivy leaves run so they were dripping green coloring all down the table clothes we put up as a back drop. Thankfully it wiped off with a rag and as it warmed up it stopped dripping. During decorating we couldn’t figure out how to get the lace material to stay up over the pink tablecloth back drop so that was one thing I had planned that didn’t pan out. It would have looked so much prettier with it. One other thing I would change if I could go back and do it would be to use material table clothes not plastic. The ones I got were very thin so it looked junky to me. The photo is how the husband/wife table looked as well as the cake table before it had the cake and cupcakes added. Everything went great at the wedding so I have no complaints. It was gorgeous weather and everyone had a good time.

@craZyhorseladycx very true. I remember in my first wedding the minister calling my husband the wrong name. Trust me if it wasn’t for him wanting it I would never have married again either. They are so expensive and stressful to plan. I’m so glad it’s all over.

@DaddyEvil oh that’s terrible news. Can you take medicine for it? I’m glad you decided to chat with me when you’ve been able to stay awake. I feel special.

@shaggin You are so welcome, Dearheart! I'm not feeling very well lately. I've been so tired all the time that I just don't have the energy to talk with people like I want to. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few months ago. (Grave's Disease) You are the only person I've talked with (except the newbie on your discussion about hunting) today. I keep falling asleep.

@sallypup that is what I wanted to do but my husband didn’t. After the wedding being more costly then he expected he wishes we had eloped.

@Happy2BeMe probably not the news you’d expect from me after being unmarried and so long since I last had a baby. I’m definitely feeling to old to be having a baby. I have 17 weeks to go. I hope you are doing well since you haven’t been around here.

@BarbaraPrz thank you I wish I had been able to use the pretty lace over the pink tablecloth though. It had been in my mother’s attic for many years so I had to wash it and cut it 7 feet tall by 30 feet wide. It was many hours wasted not being able to use it.

It does look nice. September is a good month to get married. It is kind of sad you were the one who had to do the decorating though...Someone should have offered and you should have let them., but it's your wedding, you have the right to have it the way you want it.

@snowy22315 I knew how I wanted it having others do it it might not have turned out how I pictured it in my head. My husbands other sister offered to help too but I wanted it to be a surprise for them so I didn’t want any more help then I needed.
