There are a few things that I will never forget, some things I'm sure I missed and of course a few things I would change.
I remember being relaxed all day, excited to see my husband-to-be and ready to say I DO! Other than worrying about the weather and how it'd affect my hair there was little to worry about. I remember the look of Jeremy's face when he saw me, how I almost started crying as I walked down the isle, how our niece kept making up smile as she made adorable noises that only babies make. How much I loved seeing my nephews and hearing that I took the oldest's breath away when he saw me get out of the car. Being so excited to walk down the isle that I kept telling other to have everyone sit down so we could get the wedding started. My farther-in-law being so nervous performing the ceremony that he announced us as husband and wife but forgot to say you may kiss the bride.
I loved taking pictures out at the lake. Spending time with the wedding party in the limo. I had fun with the girls being silly. Everything flew by, I really thought we had more time for photos. Of the ones I have seen I love them. I don't always love the way I look. I saw some photos from friends and family and could only think, "Would I like the photo better if my dress had been different or if I had had a reception dress to change into?" I know I'd had thoughts about my dress prior to the wedding but the main thing brides don't take into account is that the dress looks good when on for short periods of time. We never think about what it will be like to wear the dress for hours. As the night went on there were times that I couldn't wait to get out of the dress. I got tired of pulling it up on the top or picking up the skirt to dance, worrying about tripping over it as I danced with my husband, father and friends. Although my dress was a burden at times, I still had so much fun. Dancing like a fool, taking pictures in the photobooth, spending time (not as much as I would like like) with family and friends, making memories that we wouldn't be able to change.
If I could have changed anything, I would have had the rain stop in the morning, I would have hired a wedding planner and if money permitted I'd of had the wedding of my dreams. I'll wish upon a star for that someday.
Until I can think of more to write....
