As long as pictures are done, I don't really care how my hair looks for the rest of the night lol
Three and a half weeks to go!!! I can't wait for it to be over lol!
On the weekend, we went to a friend's wedding. There was one thing I didn't like, which also happened at her sister's wedding last year. They did their prayers, vows, exchanged rings, and then they went up to sign the registry, and everything else was done. It was the end of the ceremony and they all posed on the steps for pictures, and THAT's when the pastor pronounced them husband and wife said they could kiss!! He was standing off to the side of the church and everyone was snapping pictures of the bridal party. It just felt like something was missing after the vows and rings. I should talk to my pastor about how it will be done at ours. I just have never seen it like this before except these two services with these sisters.
Anyways, I also got a really great idea from her, that I already let her know I am stealing lol! Instead of clinking glasses or playing some other embarassing game with the guests, they decided to set up a donation box for the local SPCA. When someone came up and donated, they'd kiss. Our table pooled together $35 and there were quite a few other big donations. It ended up being the bigger donation, the bigger the kiss! So I contacted the rescue we got Kash and Lucy from in December, and let them know we would like to do the same thing for them! They are thrilled and will be getting a donation box for us
I hope our family and friends are generous!
My future mother in law surprised me this weekend too. We were staying at their house, and the first night I went downstairs to bed and found a gift and card on my pillow. I opened the card and there was a note inside about how she is so proud to have me as her daughter to be, and she hopes I will wear what's in the box on my wedding day and know it was made with love. In the box was a little anklet on a silver chain, and a little stone in a setting attached. She said she got that stone years ago on a cruise, and she decided to have it set and put on a chain and made into an anklet. The next morning I thanked her and she was like "Oh you don't have to wear it for the wedding if you don't want to, I just wanted to do a little something" I was like "No I will definitely wear it!!!" It was very nice of her to do for me!!
