We're married!!!!

Well we are now a married couple! Boy what a wild weekend we had to get there.Let's start with Friday shall we:
My sister in law and I had a busy morning planned because she needed a corset/shaper for under her dress. We hoped that something that like would help her with the dress, and it didn't. We came to the conclusion that even though it said size 26 on the dress, it was actually a size 20. So we just put that dress aside and went in search of another dress. We got lucky finally at around 400-430pm that day to find the dress in Lane Bryant, and it was a size 22, and it fit great. So by this time it's around 5pm in Montgomery, so we are stuck in rush hour madness!! We are supposed to go home, get things for the rehearsal still, and be at the church by 6pm!! Needless to say my stress was through the roof, and I was beginning to feel like I was going to lose my mind. To top it all off the dinner I had ordered from Jim N' Nick's was running late. They were supposed to have it ready for pick up at 530pm, so I sent Nick up there for that, and he wound up having to wait over 20 minutes for dinner to be finished!! I'm almost in basket case mode by now because everyone is running late, and I hate being late for something that I planned to start at 6pm. Well in the end we all managed to get there, get the rehearsal done, and have some good bbq, and had a great time visiting with friends and family. I still didn't go to bed until after midnight because I was trying to make sure I had stuff ready for Saturday because I knew I wasn't going to be late that day!
So Saturday morning I was at my hair and makeup appointment on time, and my bridesmaids were with me. It was a great time, and I was so glad to just relax for a bit. Then the phone calls and texts started coming in with questions. I will say that by the time we were done with all the hair and makeup we were running on time and things were looking good. Then the chaos started!!! Other people were running behind, and not at the church yet, and we had no flowers or candleabras at the church!!! Also the cake wasn't at the reception yet, but that was minor because I knew that wasn't going to be delivered until 2pm at least. So we all managed to get things going on time, and took a bunch of pictures with my family, friends, and my groom. Big problem though, no flowers still!!!
I can honestly say I have no idea why my flowers never made it to my wedding or reception, and I doubt I'll ever know. I can thank my stars for my brother though. He took the car keys and drove to Wal-Mart and got us a bunch of fake poinsettas and we made fake flower bouquets for myself and the bridesmaids. So he saved the day, even though I told everyone that if I didn't have flowers I was going to carry my great grandmother's beaded clutch down the aisle.
Oh and before you ask, yes I did have the something old, something borrrowed, something new, and something blue.
The pictures were so much fun, my photographer was amazing and so much fun. I can't wait until we get to see them!!
So the wedding started on time, and we had a handful of family and friends there. My nephew provided us with some impromptu comedy. As soon as we said our vows he peers around Nick and says, "aunt Heather are you married now?" Then when we went to do the sand ceremony he followed us over there and watched what we were doing very closely. I know his mom was praying he wouldn't try to pick up any of the sand vases.
After it was all said and done we had a wonderful wedding!! Then on to the reception, and let me tell everyone it was so much fun!! I loved spending time with everyone, and meeting some new people. We ate, danced, and watched the kids do the best dancing in the world.
So life is good, and now we are ready to start the next chapter together with our son. Hopefully as soon as Christmas gets here we will be able to move into our new place. I'm more than ready for that!!
Oh and may I just say that my son remained his happy fun self while all the crazy stuff was going on. The only time he freaked out was when at the wedding he couldn't get to me or his daddy while we were in clear sight of him. He really had a blast at the reception, so much so that he even fell asleep during the dancing!
