I loved pretty much everything except for a couple of things:

1. The fact that some guests were REALLY underdressed for the occasion, and

2. That my half-sister showed up late and ended up slightly disrupting the ceremony.

Those were the only two bad things about the evening, and they by no means ruined the night. So, I'm glad those were the only problems.

No wedding to report on yet... but keep the stories coming, ladies!

I loved the following...

My flowers, my cake, the church, the ceremony, the reception, being around people that truly care for me and DH, my makeup and hair, the pictures, and the fact that I married the man I love!

I hated the following...

The idiot that made my bridesmaid dresses (none of them fit right), the fact that I've been married almost 2 1/2 years and I just got my video and it is not even edited together, just a bunch of tapes, the fact that my 2 sisters-in-law left the ceremony before the family pictures were taken, and I wasn't 100% pleased with the way the DJ handled things at time.

Overall, it was a great wedding, don't get me wrong. The whole point was to marry my wonderful husband, and that is what I did!

well, loved the wedding, the location (garden ceremony and reception in a old plantation mansion), loved the photog, loved the video, LOVED my dress, my bms, the food was amazing, mostly everything but....

hated the cake, pretty on the outside, tasted like cardboard, the fact that my crazy aunt who i don't talk to came high and got wasted, my dj wasn't getting people dancing, and our wedding planner said we didnt need a rehersal, so the day of, he is like rushing people down the aisle so it was confusing, and the chairs on the lawn were to close together making the aisle small as s*it. My mom and dad both walked my down but my dress was so big and poufy, my mom ended up walking behind. ugh, but that was 2 years ago, can't beleive how time flies!

I hated the fact that my husband and I eloped...but on the same note, I also loved the fact that we eloped. Confusing, yes I know, but when you take the pros and cons into consideration, part of me is happy we eloped cause I didn't have to worry about seating so-and-so next to aunt-doesn't-know-how-to-keep-her-mouth-shut, or about the flower arrangements being correct, or about having 10 extra people who didn't rsvp show up after all. But then, I also hate it because my dad didn't get to walk me down the aisle like I had always dreamed, or I didn't get the chance to have a first dance as man and wife, or I didn't get the chance to run into the limo as bird seed was being pelted at John and I.
I mean, I don't regret the fact that we eloped, but I also don't miss the fact that we didn't have a wedding. Yeah, I know...I'm a weirdo lol.

Loved:
The setting, my flowers, my DRESS, (ILOVEDMYDRESS), my son in his tuxedo, my ring, my husband's ring, my cake, my bridesmaids and their dresses, Iloved all of that.

HATED:
the officiant was drunk, the owners of the inn were rude, and I had to interrupt the service to show him how to do the vows. Yes, it was that bad. I have pics of him with a bead of sweat hanging down his nose a good half inch.

I loved everything about my handfasting except the fact that it poured sheets of rain for most of the day. Not a little rain, SHEETS making the whole ceremony on the dock thing an impossibility never mind the outdoor pictures. Fortunately we had an inside plan for everything but I think it would have been even more amazing outside.

The very best thing about my wedding truly was that I married the man I love, but I was also incredibly grateful that my parents were there. My father has had serious heart problems in the past and I always feared that he wouldn't be around to see me married. Thankfully, both of my parents are still around, happy and healthy.

I'll always be sad though that none of my grandparents were well enough to attend and they've all since passed away.

On a lighter note, the DJ was pretty awful! My husband and I had spent a lot of time and consideration putting together CDs of music we wanted played but, apart from the first 2 songs, he more or less ignored them. I was too busy at the time to speak to him about it, but in total, he only played about 7 or 8 songs we wanted and later claimed that *all* the rest were were "too loud to play". ?!

Finally (this is becoming a bit of a saga!), I hate our photographs. I didn't know they were about to be taken and no-one even gave me a chance to fix my eyeliner which had all washed off one eye after getting something in one contact lens. The full-length photos are alright, but all the head and shoulders ones of me feature *one* nicely-applied cateye using UD's Spare Change, and one messy non-cateye! :crap:

One of my friends and her husband eloped, but on their anniversary they went back & renewed their vows in a 'real' ceremony on their one year anniversary...so you still may miss a few things, but at least your dad can walk you down the aisle.

My beautiful dress; sharing a special time with my family and dearest friends.

What I hated? The fact that I completely married the wrong man!!! Two kids and three+ years out of divorce now with a loving, caring man with a great sense of humor and I could not be happier... whew!
