Stephen & Elizabeth-Two finally become one!

Well I tried to wait until we had more pictures, but I can't wait any longer, so here it goes...

Nothing to eventful happened. I woke up around 9 and went to my mom's wo we could run all of our errands. We had to drop off everything at the reception hall, which was already set up minus the decorations for my wedding so that was exciting to see. Then we had to go look at the flowers to make sure they all lookied okay, which they didn't look okay, they looked BEAUTIFUL! From there I went to get my eyebrows waxed, picked up a few things for the next day, lie safety pins, etc. then picked up my dress and some of the tuxes. After that it was off to get my nails and toe done with my BM. That went well, except one of the BM, my cousin who I had already been having prooblems with, was WAY later. We were all pretty much done when she got there, which I am sure she wasn't happy with us leaving, but we were already running behind. It was like 4 and we had to be at the rehearsal at 6! So needless to say she was late getting to the rehearsal, as was her walking down the aisle partner, Stephen's best friend Eric, so it wasn't to bad we just skipped them at the begginning. The in-laws seemed to really like the pastor (he's funny, very laid back) and the kids did WONDERFUL! I felt so good about them both behaving during the ceremony, which they did. Then we all went to dinner, and it was very tasty. I gave everybody there gifts. I was so excited to give them to everybody, here is what I got: a black and pink tote bag with their names embroidered on them and in the tote bag was a willow tree angel meaning thanks, the jewelry for the weddig, a disposable camera, a keychain with their names on it and heart cookie cutters. My MOH and Matron of honor both got pictures frames too. The RB got a trian bank with his name and a small teddy bear that says special ringbearer; the FG got a neckalce with her initial and the same teddy bear but for a FG. The Jr. BM got everything the other BM got, except no angel but a necklace with her initial. Then the guys all got engraved pocket knives. My MIL thought the guys got ripped off, but the girls do WAY more and spent more money, plus the gifts really almost cost the same. Oh well. I have pictures of some that stuff, they are just on my sis's disposable camera and I don't have access to it right now. Then we all left, went home, I got my stuff together and went to my parents-we didn't really make a big deal out of it b/c I didn't want to cry and I would have. He did text me later and was like are we at least allowed to talk? lol it was so cute! It didn't take me long before I was out like a light!

Since our wedding wasn't until 6 I had the luxury of being able to sleep in a little bit. I got up around 9 then ate breakfast that my mom fixed (she made eggs, bacon, and biscuits three seperate times that morning lol once for my dad and brother who had to go cut grass early, once for me, then again for my sis and bros GF). I talked to mom for a little while, then took a shower, then I went to pick up muffins for everybody to eat while they were getting ready before the wedding. From there (you guys are going to laugh at this part b/c everybody else was in disbelief when they found out, but this is just the type of bride I was lol) I actually went to see the freshmen h.s. volleyball team that I coach play in a tournament. I love my freshmen, and they were SOOO excited about my wedding even though they had only known me for like 2 months, and I really just wanted to go wish them luck! I was only there for maybe 30 minutes, then I met my MOH and 2 BM to get our hair done. After that I had to go get my make-up done at the mall. BTW, driving in a veil is NOT the easiest thing to do lol! Then I had to walk through the mall to get an extender for my necklace. Can I please just say that by the time I left the mall I was ready to tell the next person that asked if I was getting married today that No, I just liked to wear veils and tiaras lol. Anyways, I got home got everything together then we left for the church.

We got there about 3:30, which is when I had told the guys to be there, and of course none of them were there. I was a little aggrated but they all showed up shortly after. So while pictures were being taken we were all just hanging out downstairs, fixing our hair and make-up etc. At this point I would like to say I was still not nervous. Stephens mom started throwing a fit about how he was supposed to have a white flower instead of pink, so my aunt came and asked me about it and I was like, well if she wants to go get him a white she can otherwise he has a pink one. I don't rememer what I ordered but it doesn't matter we are getting married in 2 hours lol. My mom and aunt were just like ok, well I guess if she's not upset we aren't either. Then a button came off the FG dress. That was probably the most major thing that happened that day. We got it pinned back on and everything was fine in like 10 minutes. Then it was my turn to take pictures. That took maybe 45 minutes. Then people started coming in so we all went back downstairs to wait for the ceremony to start. I'm still not nervous. My dad was downstairs practicing his line-he kept saying he was going to say "the old bag and me" lol. It's finally time and we go wait on the stairs. The kids are starting to get on each others nerves so I was trying to keep them seperated. I can't wait to see the video to see how they walked down the aisle! Finally, on the steps while we were waiting I started to get nervous! Then as soon as the doors opened and I took like two steps I saw a good friend of mine that I used to work with and she winked at me at all my nerves were gone. My dad kinda talked to me a little bit while we were walking down the aisle, but I don't guess it mattered lol. I remembering making eye contact with a few random people walking down the aisle.

Then while we were all three standing up there waiting for the whole who gives Elizabeth, etc. part my dad kind of grabbed my hand, which was really sweer but I didn't think about it. Then I whispered my dad's line to him lol. everything else went smoothly, except when I said I do. Lol that sounds bad. I was not really mad but I wish I had done better b/c my mouth was super dry b/c I hadn't had anything to drink in so long b/c I was wearing like a leotard type body thinner thing and it is impossible to put back on with my dress so I didn't want to have to pee lol so when it was my turn I kind of started to say I do then had to clear my throat, but a lot of people didn't hear it. We whispered through both songs, b/c that is what we do-we talk. All the time. Through everything. It gets on my moms nerves when we watch tv with her lol. Oh well she said she couldn't hear us. Then for the kiss, everybody laughed. I pulled away and he didn't lol. We talked about it and I was like no tongue, so what does he-he says I opened my mouth, well yeah but it wasn't an invitation! Oh well, it was comic relief lol. Then when we re-enacted the kiss for pictures I couldn't quite giggling! Walking back down the aisle after being pronounced husband and wife, his mom had told him that I needed hole his arm, not his hand, but I wanted to hold his hand, so that was kind of awkward. After that we had our receiving line, took pictures longer then I had anticipated, then off to the reception, which I am going save for pictures. It was so fun, but pictures wil be the best way to share it!

Ok so b/c I am lazy and I don't feel very good (allergies or a cold maybe) but I want to post some honeymoon pictures, I am going post the link to my photobucket album. I think this will work, but if it doesn't let me know. Oh and there are like 300 pictures! I thought I should warn you lol! Stephen went a little camera crazy. We had a blast though! When I feel better and get a little more time I will post some pics with more detail of our trip.
