Yep, there's a reason for the title. We'll get to that later. This is going to be my attempt to tell our wedding day story with pictures included. Many funny parts. Some not so funny parts that turned out to be funny the next day....and lots of other stuff stuck in there. So, here we go!
I woke up at about 7:30. Couldn't sleep. Kind of bummed because I could have really went for a bubble bath in the jacuzzi in our suite, but the girls had all stayed there with me the night before and I'm pretty sure none of them wanted to see my business. ;) Got in the shower to do the whole shaving deal and then went out into the hotel lobby to get some breakfast with my MOH and DH's little sis who had woken up while I was showering. Best continental breakfast I have ever eaten in my entire life. They definitely got an A+ on that one.
Woke my snoozing little sis up so we could make it to the mall and our hair appointments on time. Got undies, earrings (the same exact ones that I lost! Woo hoo!) and my something blue at the mall because I didn't have anything. (settled for a blue sparkly tongue ring).
My hair stylist was awesome. I kind of went in there having no pictures (all on the laptop with no way of printing) and explained what I was looking for and she did her thing. Made it even better when the receptionist said it reminded her of the classic hair Dita Von Teese always wears. SCORE! She was one of my original inspirations. :D

We stopped off at Taco Bell to get some food because we were starving by 2:00pm. :)
Then I went to MAC to my make up appointment. This is one of those things that was funny.....the next day. Got there and the girl that I personally know that was supposed to do my make up switched shifts and didn't even tell me. Grrrrrr. So they asked if I was okay with someone else doing it. I said sure. She asked what I had in mind and I said that I usually wear lots of eyeliner, so if we could make the eyes a little dramatic and smokey to have the focus on them, that would be great. Also told her about the false lashes I had originally discussed with the girl that was supposed to do it and she said she could definitely do it..........and then everything from there was a big mess.
#1. She put bright blue and silver eyeshadow on me. BRIGHT BLUE and SILVER. Awesome if that's what you're going for, but I asked for smokey and lots of eyeliner. The words bright blue never even came close to my mouth. She then took an hour trying to fix it.....but it was still bright blue and silver.
#2. The falsh lashes she put on me where HUGE. Like, seriously ridiculous. I looked like a really really bad drag queen when she was done with my face. WTF?! My little sister was even trying her best not to laugh, but it was so bad, you just had to. So, I told her I had to go, since my 45 minute appointment was already going on an hour and a half and I wasn't going to be late to my wedding. At least I got free lip gloss out of the deal, right?
As soon as we got to the car, I texted the MOH that I looked like a clown and needed scissors and make up remover. She said she was on it. When I got back to the hotel room, I walked in with my sunglasses on (which made it so I couldn't blink with those crazy mile long eyelashes) and wouldn't let the other girls see it. I locked myself in the bathroom, came out 15 minutes later with my make up looking like how I usually wear it and minus the insanely long eyelashes. I didn't even need the scissors. Just ripped those babies right off. Was soooo not funny at the time and I didn't want anyone to see me like that, but totally wishing that I would have taken a picture of it now. It was BAD. And would have been awesome inspiration for Halloween. Hahaha.
Next, I got into my dress and realized that I had my vows written on the laptop....with no way of printing them. So, to the front desk it was for some paper and pen to copy them down.

While I was copying my vows down, my mom told me a limo kept driving by the hotel and she thought it was ours and that the driver was lost. So, the photographer went to go flag him down. He finally got there, we all started piling in:

I was the first one in, so my back was to the driver. He started up the car and then says "Ma'am, I'm not sure how to get the TomTom in this car to work, could you get me to your wedding venue?" I turn around to talk to him through the little window and see all this smoke coming out from under the hood and my exact words to him were "Sure, I can get you there, but did you know that your limo is on fire?" The poor guy started freaking out and asking us to turn things off and you could clearly tell that he hadn't done this before.
