Preparation of the Wedding
This is almost the comical part of our wedding.....Andrew and I seriously had VERY LITTLE to do with our actual wedding. Because we didn't actually want the ceremony and we were only going through with it because our mothers wanted us to we pretty much just let them handle it. My mom was hilarious. She would call me every day, some times several times in a day, and asked me if whatever she had found was ok with me. My answer was always the same...."Whatever you think is fine with me." The only actual request that I had was that we have magnolias in it. Christy was my only maid of honor and Andrew's dad was his best man. Christy even picked out her own dress! Ha! Ha! I look back and see how funny the whole situation really was but then I was pretty upset about it all. By the time November 6, 2004 rolled around, we were ready to get it all over with!
The Wedding Day
Aunt Wanda fixed my hair and Christy's for the wedding so we spent the night with her. Andrew and I took pictures before the wedding so I had to get up pretty early. (I don't believe in all of the hocus pocus about not being able to see the bride before) Before the ceremony started I was in the back room. Andrew was the cutest thing - - - he came in my room and started telling me everything that was going to happen and what to expect and so forth. His Uncle Tommy is who did the ceremony. Just before Andrew came in, my Dad and Karen came in to tell me they were proud and loved me - - - then Andrew's mom came in to tell me that she loved me and was very happy to have me as a part of their family. It was a very emotional moment.
Then, I went and grabbed Tim (my step-dad) and it was time to start. I decided on a very odd way of doing the whole "giving away" thing because my parents divorced when I was 15 and my step dad and I have been so close so I wanted him to take part in that. So, Tim walked me halfway down the isle where we met my Dad and he walked me the rest of the way and gave me away. When we got down to the alter, Dad gave me away and we proceeded with everything else. We did not have singing or anything else - - - so, literally, the longest part in the wedding was when we tried to light the unity candle and realized that we had forgotten to cut the wick so they wouldn't light!!! That was pretty histerical! I was laughing so hard that my shoulders were shaking! If it had not been for that, our entire wedding ceremony from start to finish would have only lasted 8 minutes - instead, it was 11 minutes total!

I want to see pictures! Yes, we'll be there Saturday; I plan on calling you tonight to set up a time and get directions to your house. I can bring our wedding album also, if you'd like to see it. :)
That sounds great. I'll be in church until 9:00 or after becuase we have choir practice after service, but you can call me before if you want. I would LOVE for you to bring your wedding album!!
