Also, I know I've missed my Disney Challenge for a couple days, but I'm befuddled by the question, it wants me to choose my favorite villain............
So I want to tell you about my wedding day, I can hear it now "aww your wedding day, how sweet." Honestly, it was more like this, "OMG! When is this going to be over with!? This is so stupid, ugh we should have just stuck with yesterday and that's it! More pictures?!!?!?! You've got to be kidding me!"
I'm being completely serious. Why you ask? I'll tell you.
I love my husband, and I love my mommy so much for letting us have the wedding and EVERYONE at the house, and yes mother you were right, we should have just had the JOP and then a reception, I get it mothers are always right! It was just so much freaking work for little result.
First, I wanted to have the wedding in the fall, but we thought Devin was going to be deploying so we moved it up to April, it happened to be the month we started dating so it was perfect. So I had to change all my colors, I settled with "navy" blue and red. Why is "navy" in quotes? Because why would we have "navy" blue at a Corps wedding? That's just silly......
I also wanted to do this as inexpensive as possible, so I got my invitations from Michael's, my dress from the Mall, my cake from Wal-mart, the site-my mom's house, my uncle did the ceremony and people brought food, like a pot luck, I got a small bouquet and one flower for my maids. The guys wore their uniforms, the flower girls helper wore his own suit and that was that. My mom did gift some things, like the tables and chairs as well as my wedding shoes. For the music I just made a mixed CD and tossed it into the CD player.
Just estimating, we didn't pay over 800 dollars. Freakin' sweet, I know!
So I'm sure it sounds lovely, so why didn't I enjoy it??
For one, I hate being the center of attention and I hate talking in front of crowds, we wrote our own vows by the way. If you hate these things too, you know exactly how I felt, uncomfortable.
I was already dressed and had my hair and make up done and one of the people taking pictures wanted me to pretend like I was putting make up on again...I felt dumb. People were fussing over me, I hate that, I feel awkward and I hate making people do dumb things like, "Oh can you tie my shoes even though I'm fully capable of bending over and doing it." Then people getting upset that I was seeing Devin before the wedding, because, "You're not supposed to see the groom before the wedding." If you know me, you know I rarely ever conform to any rules and if you tell me I can't do something, I will end up doing it. Little did they know we were already married legally.
I had been up since seven I think and the wedding was at eleven, I can't remember, so I was tired and hungry and I was ready by nine, so I just wanted to get it over with.
So I walk down the "aisle" and it's so awkward and uncomfortable, whoever doing the music didn't know apparently, how to use a CD player. So we got that over with and then the first dance, and I choose the longest song EVER to be the first dance. Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, it's a beautiful song, but it's literally like six minutes long, and my husband can't dance.
I can't even remember what happened after that, I just know there was an obnoxious amount of pictures being taken, to the point my cheeks were hurting and I ended up fake smiling in more than half the pictures so you can tell I'm annoyed!
I remember the music I chose not being played, which made me so mad, and by the end of it I was more than ready to leave. We ended up going ice skating after, so that was fun.
I know I probably sound so snobby and ungrateful, but I'm not. I thank my mom so much for letting us have the shindig there!!
And yes Devin and I got married the day before the actual "wedding," so we were legally husband and wife before anyone, other than my mom, knew, that was also awkward.
Anyways here are some pictures from the glorious day!
Enjoy!
