What was the single MOST memorable moment of your wedding.

[diva det]

i loved my wedding day too- it was awesome and feels like yesterday even though it was 15 years ago

loved being all girled up for the day- i am not one for make-up etc and dresses but i did and it was grouse
my DH lifting me when we were pronounced husband and wife and kissed me lifted in the air!
our wedding reception was ace too- loved it all esp the speeches- everyone was bawling
but most of all i loved that i got to spend the day with family and friends- esp those that have since passed
i have so many precious photos and video footage of everyone enjoying themselves - priceless

make sure that you video the day and get as many people as you can to speak on camera- to hear and see our guests is the best!

The best memory I have of my wedding was definitely the look on his face as I walked down the aisle.

He looked so proud and I made him tear up and he forgot his words lol he made me feel like a princess.

The not so good (but still funny moment) my mum was recording it, and forgot to press record doh! Lol

Was a fab day! And then I got to do it all again in Bali for those who missed it (we had our wedding, then a commitment ceremony, worded like a wedding!)

My Grandad is a minister so he married us and in the middle of the ceremony he called me by my mum's name ... not once but twice (he is my mum's dad). He was a bit emotional and cried while he was marrying us. He also married my mum, my aunties and most of my cousins.

DH's Opa's speech that started 'If the boy could produce ...' (referring to DH and his fertility) we were in hysterics after that and didn't hear anymore.

My brothers were sent to pick the frangipanis on the morning of the wedding that the flower girl was going to drop on the aisle and they came back with a bucket of brown, dead fragipani's but then produced the happy healthy ones after I nearly killed them.

My cousins and I have this family tradition at weddings that we 'GROUP HUG' the people getting married (if we are related to them). There are 17 cousins on this side of the family ... but basically someone yells 'GROUP HUG' and we all run over and hug the bride and groom. Since we have all gotten married, our partners have started joining in now too so there are a lot more than 17 of us ... and I plan to teach my kids to GROUP HUG. We have my cousins wedding on the Sunny Coast in 2 weeks and I can't wait for the GROUP HUG. I'm nearly 30 and not feeling too old for it. My Grandad remarried a couple of years ago and we GROUP HUGged him and his wife when they got married too. My aunties all freaked because they thought we were going to kill him, but he was okay. We had GROUP HUGged him at my Grandmother's funeral a couple of years earlier. I'm sure lots of people were shocked because of the occassion but it is what we do and it is special. GROUP HUGs are good for any occassion I got GROUP HUGged at my wedding and it was great!

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.

* Being walked down the aisle by my beautiful girl, seeing the look in DH's eyes as he watched the two of us walk towards him - and having my daughter place my hand in his

* Hamming it up for the photographer during the photos - not really posing but she'd go nuts every time we'd sneak a kiss or something, and the cry of "GOT THAT!" as I squeezed DH's butt

* Chilling out in the bridal room nibbling canapes while our guests enjoyed pre-dinner drinks - that quiet time with my best friends and new husband was so worth it.

* My mum telling me she was proud of me and how beautiful I looked. Mum not generally being the overly demonstrative type - she hates getting gushy.

* Spending the day and night with all our friends and family, just celebrating the moment.

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

I just remember DH's jaw drop when he saw me walk up the aisle.....I felt $1,000,000 bucks!!

That is GOLD!

[Rainbow_Mumma]

coming into view of DH and him being a blubbering mess! it was quite cute even if you can tell he cried in all our photos!

[Rivlas]

Sounds like there were quite a few emotional guys on their wedding day

Kate and Will must've read this thread. They went for a spin in their car just like we did on our wedding day.

Our Wedding was awesome to.

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.

[loulabelle]

Lots, um.... The celebrants doing all these reading that we never asked for, the photographer snapping a photo of dh patting my bum! The whole thing was lovely, so I'm having trouble!

My DH speech, he is such a shy guy and hates to be the centre of attention, I really thought he would just mumble a few words to do his duty and sit down again, but he absolutely blew my mind, it was the most heartfelt, loving and amazing speech and I still cry thinking about it a year later.
