Wedding Challenge 11

11. your song and/or the first song you danced to at your wedding: share a music video or lyrics if you can!

I walked down the aisle to Bella’s Lullaby. I honestly can’t remember what we walked out to.
We danced to Boston’s “Amanda” because my father always said that whoever I married had to learn the words before he could.
My father and I danced to Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” because he and my mother danced to that at a Christmas party the year I was born. And the LT and his mother danced to Mariah Carey’s “Hero.”

Wedding Challenge 9 & 10

9. the ceremony and reception: where was it at? show us some pictures! what day did you get married?

We got married at my husband’s church, on Halloween. It was a Saturday. The reception was in the same place. The church is very small and we had less than 100 people. Mostly family. We had a memorial for my great-grandparents, and my husband’s baby sister. Instead of a unity candle we did the sand ceremony. Also, instead of just my father giving me away, we had a special part where all our parents welcomed each of us into their families. We both come from divorced families, so it was something nice to do to combine the families.

10. the cake/food: i love food. so tell me about what you had at your wedding!

We had the best cakes ever. I was so happy with them. We had finger foods mostly:Shrimp cocktail, Chicken Nuggets, Meatballs, and some other stuff, that I can’t remember, LOL! I showed the cake lady a picture of a cake I loved, and she did an amazing job making one like it. I also wanted to do a surprise cake for the LT, and I knew he was Field Artillery, so I had her put the cross cannons, I was wanting to do a cannon cake, but she was unable to make it, and that was okay. My cake was chocolate and white (alternating tiers) and his cake was strawberry.

Wedding Challenge 6-8

6. the colors: show some of the flower and colors you used

I used Gerbera Daisies and Orchids, my colors were Watermelon (pink) and Clover (green) and Navy. The flowers below are the ones the parents and the LT and the best man wore, my flowers were a combo of all three…I don’t have a good picture of them alone…

7. the dress: was it what you always imagined? did you have it made for you? white or ivory?

The dress was white. I didn’t really know what I imagined, it wasn’t what I had in my mind, but I loved it, it was a halter top with a lot of bead work.

8. the little accessories: you know, veil? shoes? jewelry? what did your bridesmaids wear?

I wore PINK heels, and my veil matched my dress pretty perfectly. My sister was my only bridesmaid, and she wore a Navy dress. I also wore a bracelet my sister made me and I can’t remember what earrings I wore, but that was the extent of my jewelry.
