Ramona_in_CO -> RE: your wedding (9/25/2008 10:15:31 AM)

The thread on getting married near a holiday inspired me to start this thread.
1. What were your wedding colors?
We didn't have any specific colors. I wore a white gown, dh wore a black tux. My sister (my only attendant) wore a cream colored dress, and the best man wore a black tux. Dh ordered the flowers, and we just had my bouquet, my sister's bouquet, and an arrangement for our table at the reception.
2. What attendants did you have(you don't have to say who, just say like # of bridesmaids..# of groomsmen, etc. and describe all the non bridesmaid people you had (like flower girl/guestbook attendant, etc.)
My sister was my matron of honor, and my husband's boss was his best man. We didn't have any other attendants. But dh's niece, who was about 5 (I think) at the time, had brought a little basket with flower petals, and she kind of became the unplanned flower girl. She didn't walk down the aisle, but she did kind of go out into the aisle before I came in, and dropped some of the petals around. My two nieces were at the guestbook, and then they also took candid photos for us during the reception.
3. If you would like, post a picture of something about your wedding you liked (what I'm trying to say is, I understand not wanting to post faces without permission on the internet, but you could post a picture of the bridesmaids' dress with the face blurred out, or post a picture of the centerpiece or something)..or if your friends don't care if you post their picture, hey post a picture of the whole wedding party.
No digital photos available.
4. Tell about one thing you did that you felt was unique to just your wedding.
It was not my first marriage (nor my husband's), I was 41 years old, and I didn't care to have my father to walk me down the aisle. So, when I entered the room from the back and started walking toward the front, dh left the front and started walking toward the back and met me half way. Then we walked the rest of the way up to the front together. Also, when the pastor asked "Who gives this woman?" I had instructed all of my family to reply "we all do".
5. Tell about your music
Hmmm...a hastily remembered instrumental CD that was in my car. The musician had the date wrong, and didn't show up. So I gave my sister my car keys, told her the name of the CD and where it was, and she got it and popped it in the CD player. We had planned to have the musician sing "Some Enchanted Evening" when I came in. Instead it was a piano version of "Sweet Hour of Prayer". We had the CD player on hand because our exit song was "Happy Trails" by Roy Rogers & Dale Evans. :-)
6. Tell about any special memories you have of that day, both sentimental and humorous.
a.) The wedding coordinator had asked us if we wanted to have communion during our ceremony and we said that would be great. What she neglected to tell us was that we would need to provide the elements. When it got to that point in the ceremony, we told the pastor what happened, and he just carried on with the rest of it. The pause is not very noticeable at all in the video.
b.) Dh was actually *physically shaking* all through the ceremony. Afterward, when I had a chance to ask him why, he said it was because he finally understood the responsibility of being the spiritual head of a home.
c.) When the pastor told dh he could kiss me, instead of folding my veil back behind my head, he just kinda tucked his head under the veil, too.
d.) At one point, when dh was supposed to be repeating vows, he didn't respond. The pastor said something along the lines of "I know you're mesmerized by staring into the eyes of your beautiful bride, but you've got to come back and repeat these vows for me."
