I just loved hearing about your wedding and the wrong name is too funny! :eek:

This is not really a glitch... but when DH & I went to do the cake, we didn't know who was supposed to go first. We stood there staring at each other like 'Now what?' LOL

If you knew the children I spoke of you would understand. I don't hate children I just had these two annoying me for most of my teen years. No one would babysit them anymore and that is probably why they were at the wedding.

Its ok with me if someone does not want to come because they can't bring their children, as long as they are not mad at me for not inviting the kids. Our reception was no kids under 13. We just addressed the invitations are Mr. & Mrs. and not family. 99% of the guests thanked us for giving them a day (we had a day wedding) away from the kids to have a nice meal and fun with their significant other. Hubbys sister (whose 2 kids were invited!) was talking behind my back to the family saying if her kids were not invited she was not going (just be a b***ch bc she knew her kids were invited) she was just trying to cause trouble with the family and me. I can't stand her anyways!
Don't like it, don't come! :D

I'm fine with well behaved kids. It's the ones who run around unattended and undisciplined that irritate me. (Like the ones who pull bolts of fabric off the shelf and leave them on the floor and the parents do NOTHING!)

It sounds like things went very smoothly at your wedding! But, how awful about your friend fainting and what a classy bride to never mention it and to cut out that part in her video.

This is so funny that this came up- DH and I just received an invite yesterday that says "Adult only reception."
At my sister's reception our youngest cousin at the time was running around and crashed into the cake table! Pretty sure that she ruined an awful lot of the cake!
I love that at the start if our ceremony when I started down the aisle, a little girl I used to babysit for let out a HUGE gasp and very loudly said, "Ooh! She looks like the Wizard of OZ!" (Meaning Glinda, I had a huge tulle skirt.)

Oh, no flowers... Back in my bridesmaid's days, I was in a wedding and the flowers did not arrive. We were in the basement waiting for an hour and a half for my friend's flowers. Not sure what happened. I felt sorry for the people waiting upstairs.

How awful about your hair. Bet you had a cute haircut, though. :)

My hair did turn out very pretty....after that no more hairdressers for me....its now 9yrs later, and my dread locs are almost at my waist! All is well....

My husband and I got married in Vegas. During the ceremony our pastor burped REALLY REALLY loud. I was so embarrassed and couldn't quit giggling! It was pretty funny when we got home and showed my family the video. If I wouldve got married at home with a big fancy wedding I probably wouldve been upset that he did that, but hey its Vegas LOL

Oh how wonderful! Glad your hair turned out perfectly and that it was able to grow. :)

Too funny about the burp and glad you were able to get it on video. Did your giggling also make the video? ;):D

I would have cried laughing at the pastor burping......silly things like that just crease me up :p

Neil and I had a pretty straightforward wedding.....apart from the mother of all thunderstorms and monsoon rain as I was being driven to the Registry Office :eek: Thankfully it soon passed and it was soon glorious sunshine once more.

We just had a quiet wedding with Neil's parents, brother & his wife and 5 of our closest friends :) The registrar seemed quite shocked at there only being 9 of them. Thing is.....neither of us wanted a massive big event and didn't have the cash for it anyway...especially as the shop I was working in had closed down just 7 weeks beforehand! The whole thing cost less than £300 :thumbup: £97.50 for the marriage to be held in Newcastle Registry Office, £70 for my dress & jacket, £25 for my plain white gold band (found it in a flea market one week before the wedding!!!), £50 for Neil's suit and not much extra for my hair to be put up on the morning by my wonderful hairdresser and a corsage (is that the right word?) of freesias for Neil and myself :) The honeymoon was two weeks in the Lake District which Neil's parents paid for as a wedding gift :D Twelve years (on August 31st) later we are still blissfully happy :wub:

Funny thing was....I had a customer in the shop where I work today and she was talking about how her daughter got married last weekend and how it had all 'only' cost £15,000. She was dumbstruck when I said mine had barely been £300 :yelrotflm Albeit it wasn't a big fancy church do.

After we had been married our friends took photos outside the building in front of the gorgeous flower displays and we then got into our car and drove off on honeymoon :cool: We had to stop a few times as we drove over the Pennines as the UK was just recovering from that terrible Foot & Mouth outbreak in 2001 and at certain places you still had guys in waterproofs washing down your vehicle wheels and underside with disinfectant.

If we could it again I don't think we would change a thing.....other than stay in a caravan or a cottage instead of an apartment as the woman downstairs was SO noisy :mad:

Best wishes to you! I am sure you are having a blast getting ready and will probably have something that happens to make you laugh. ;)

Sounds like your wedding was wonderful!

It is absolutely ridiculous how much money some people spend on their weddings. DH and I have friends whose CAKE cost more than our entire wedding! The kicker of it- the cake wasn't even very good!
I was a bridal consultant for 8 1/2 years and I certainly helped put together some crazy weddings. I must say, simple elegance is my favorite style and it doesn't have to cost a fortune!

I have to think hard to remember back that far. Because I am my mother's only daughter,I let her plan the wedding that she didnt get,we just showed up. Sense my DH is NEVER on time,always 15 min late. I told him to be at the church at 4pm,the wedding was at 7pm. I remember standing at the end of the isle waiting for my dad to walk with me,I looked at him and asked "do I gotta do this?" he said "Yes,because he had spent a fortune". That was my only moment of wanting to be the runaway bride. At the beginning of the ceremony I pulled a tissue out of my cuff and handed it to DH. We made it about half way through the ceremony,heard the big doors to the church squeeeeek open behind us,a man's VERY drunk voice says "hey! look! its a wedding". I told DH ," your uncle is here". The reception was a blur. All I remember is my feet were killing me,I had on 4" heels and Mom wouldnt let me take them off because it was "improper". As we left,DHs bestman dumped an entire camera case full of rice on me,,approx 8lbs. We finally made it to the limo and I looked at DH and said " We are finally legal". Kudos to my mother for single handedly making EVERYTHING for the wedding,my dress,her dress,3 bridesmaids dresses,our cake that was 5ft tall,all of the flowers (she didnt just put them together,she actually made the flowers). Im pretty sure that my parents left town for 3months after the wedding.

This is a good one and thanks for sharing. You had quite a few glitches and sounds like you have a good sense of humor about the whole thing. :D

Oh my gosh! Prices! My wedding was RELATIVELY cheap compared to others I've been to, and it was about $20,000 USD! We did not have a videographer, limos, we didn't buy centerpiece flower arrangements, nothing! We even found a cupcake shop that was just opening, their cupcakes were phenomenal and we got them for SUPER cheap compared to all the other cake places we went to! We didn't have a church wedding and the hall waived the ceremony fee since we had some problems with the wedding coordinator there!

Does anyone watch Bridzillas? I am shocked at the extravagance I see on that show!
When Dave (my second husband) and I got married it was the coldest day of the year with a windchill factor of 70 degrees below!!!!! A blizzard shut down every single road leading into our town as well as the airports. We were just planning a small family thing at my house but it got even smaller! Afterward we made it to the restaurant for dinner and low and behold the boyfriend I had before I met Dave was there. I KNOW that wasn't an accident.

I have never seen Bridzillas. But, just think what you a newly wed couple could buy with all that $.

So, was this guy spying on you? I wonder how he found out...

And y'all have been married for a bajillion years!!! Lol
