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.

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.
