my wedding was so awesome!! we got married in DH's parents backyard, and it was SUCH a party! DH built a pond and water feature which we got married in front of. we had a cheap photographer, which at the time was good, but looking back wish i'd payed more. she cost $750 cause she was only starting out, and the photos were just really posed and not very good quality....but meh, we still got some nice ones. for our music as well, we didnt have a DJ, me and DH just burnt a couple of cd's of all our favourite music and played through DH's soundsystem. heaps of people commented on how cool the music was! it was just such a party, it wasn't formal, it was laid back, and everyone had a blast. but im just biased, of course im going to say my wedding was the best but that was my best memory, just how fun and what a party my wedding was. hope yours is a fantastic day as well!! all the best xxx
Me saying "I Do" at the wrong time (several times!)
DH almost putting my ring on the wrong hand
We were bumbling idiots...our ceremony was pretty relaxed though and we all had a good laugh about it.
After all the celebrations just chilling out together in our suite, that was nice.
i just loved how in love we were that day!
my man just looked so handsome & he couldnt stop kissing & cuddling me..
our wedding reception - it took my breath away when i walked in, it was beautiful
hmmmm probably crying like a big baby during the whole ceremony LOL. Im normally a rock & I don't cry about ANYTHING! Never in front of anyone anyway LOL. Im actually a big sook I just hide it really well.
Other then the whole event being special just because. I also had the little girl across the road tell me I looked like a princess *awwwwwwww* that made me feel really special.
Using funeral mourner cars as our bridal cars
Driving around the block so I would not be on time
We got married on a total eclipse day so when we walked out the church it went dark for a bit - got some great photos
We went to the motel in separate cars
When we got to the motel DH didn’t have the keys to our motel room. He had left the keys back at his parents house so we waited with our bridal party until someone found them then our bestman had to go get them
My most memorable moments were after the wedding DH had got a motel room with a spa. I'd been on a healthy kick for months and lost 11kilos. I remember getting into the spa with DH already in thinking how great I looked naked (in comparison to 6months earlier anyway) and been so happy that I almost looked how I wanted to and it was all for that moment. I was very proud of myself.
Another memorable moment was when the minister said "Let no one celebrate" he was suppose to say "let no one seperate". The whole church with over 100 people cracked up laughing including myself. It took x amount of time for everyone to stop laughing to continue with the ceremony. Although it was a bummer it was nice to go from silence to such laughter.
Also everyone commented on how DH speach was the best they had ever heard. People still talk about it now 3yrs on. The best part was when DH said how we met. We met briefly at a night club when DH was drunk and I was just leaving and he asked for my number. We met up a few days later at another pub (I would only meet in a public place) but as it was dark and DH was intoxicated the night he got my number he couldn't remember exactly what I looked like. In his speach he was describing how he was watching women come into the pub trying to remember me when another woman come in who he thought was me. He said she was considerably larger, older etc then the women he expected I was. And thought ooo oh he bloody hoped it wasn't me. I'd have to go play the speach to remember exactly what he said in his speach but again everyone was in fits of laughter. I guess it was the laughter of everyone that made it such a memorable moment. Definately not the dress and all the momey that was spent.
Wish I could marry him again. The been married part was more important to him then it was to me. It definately made me realise how much he loves me (or did then lol) his a man of few words and sometimes he doesn't make me realise he actually does care so it was lovely to have his love confirmed on so many different levels that night.
Having to vote in a federal election in full regalia and my normally very shy sister dragging me up to the front of a verrrry long line and telling the people as she pushed past them, 'sorry but we have to get married in an hour!'....no-one said anything but smiled.
The view from the alter in our chapel (we got married in Watson's Bay in Sydney on South Head at the navy chapel and the window behind the alter looks out at the ocean)
DH crying and not being able to speak
Dancing with my husband to my mum and dad's 'song', she had sung it my whole life.
Not getting a piece of wedding cake because it was so good everyone else devoured it, then cutting open the saved tier when our daughter was born only to find out it wasn't a flavour we had requested (ie fruitcake instead of the banana it was) and was awful!!
The ridiculously huge grin on my soon to be DH's face as I walked down the "aisle" towards him. As soon as I was standing next to him he went to kiss me - got huge laughs from everybody (A) for his impatience in not waiting until we actually WERE married and (B) cos he got tangled up in the veil hanging over my face that he hadn't taken any notice of. The whole day was amazing. I know what everything looked like (including me!) because I have photos to show me, but otherwise all I remember of the day is fun, happiness and a whole lot of love.
Seriously, don't sweat the small stuff - flower arrangements, colours, whether to have this sash or that sash on the chairs. None of it matters on the day.
ahh there are so many!
- our gorgeous ceremony place, on top of a hill surrounded by breathtaking hills and trees
- our photos taken at the local rodeo arena, my bridesmaids all climbing the high fence in their dresses and heels (awsome photos!)
- the look on the guy at the bottleshops face when the whole bridal party walked in to get some roadies! (also great photos! )
- our first dance to Tim McGraw's 'It's your love' and the whole bridal party dancing and singing at the top of our lungs!
- our honeymoon
our wedding was so laid back and relaxed, if we forgot anything too bad. Most of it was done on favours and didn't cost us much at all. My wedding dress was $2000 at the bridal shop but i found a similar one on ebay for $120!!
anyway just make sure you have fun and remember the day is about you and your soon to be DH!
