    :laugh: You're shameless!! Haha! I can one up that one (but I bet no one will agree or admit) Contrary to the myth, there ARE ugly babies! I've seen 'em! Sorry... back to weddings

    The day was great for us (mostly) It was supposed to rain that whole week but instead it rained the three days before and a whole week after but not the day of which was so groovy cause the song I picked to walked down the aisle to was Enya - A Day Without Rain

    our wedding was during the black out on the east side.. we had to decorate in the dark and have the wedding in the dark
    we also had a major storm... hail, wind, thunder, the works
    i had someone else do my makeup....
    I'm a red head... they put bright red lipstick and purple eye liner on me... My Maid of honor was late (sh e had to have been the worst maid of honor ever) we ran out of food (we had 224 rsvps return and 330 people show up.) our apartment was robbed so i didn't have the money to pay the hair dresser or go on the honey moon.... The hair dresser didn't charge me out of pitty and someone donated money for our honeymoon... all and all'
    it was alright.

    Mine went pretty smoothly. I think that the only thing that happened was my florist. She had gotten ivy for the pews at the church, and when they opened it, they were all bad so I think I remember her saying that they went to a nearby cemetary! to cut some and brought them back to the church! hahaha
    My husband forgot his deodorant and whispered it to me while we were kneeling, and I started laughing! I thought our microphones picked it up on the video but it didn't!
    other than that, pretty smooth!
    I'm going to my sister in laws on the 12th and she's been a bridezilla! Can't wait to see what goes wrong there!!!

    My cousin's wedding... my uncle and another cousin got really drunk and ended up wrecking the reception. Literally. They got into a huge fistfight in the middle of the dining hall, flipping tables, everything. The police had to break them up.

    I felt so bad for her :(

    Well.....First my hubby fumbled on the wedding vows, and had to try them over again three times!
    Second, when we were putting on the rings, my husband had his left hand out for me to put his on, I for some reason thought it was the wrong hand so I slapped it away and put the ring on his right hand. We didn't even think about it again until my brother mentions, uh hey Penny, you put the ring on the wrong hand lol!
    And third, sadly, my husbands stepmother caused a huge scene when the photographer asked for a picture with me, hubby, his mom and dad. That pic did not end up happening! Unfortunatley, because they are all stubborn *kitten*, my hubby and his dad did not talk for a year, and his stepmom still tries to avoid us at all costs!
    Oh almost forgot my mother in laws wonderful speech, was all about my husband and his best friend, the girl that dear old mother in law wanted him to marry!
    I do have to say despite all this I had the most fun I've ever had....ever, the reception rocked, we are still having people tell us how much fun they had!

    :noway: My step-mom tried her best to get in on every picture she could and even had the photographer take a picture of her strapping my heels on (nice black and white shot). Problem is I hate (well.... whats the emotion riiiggghhhttt below hate?) just have no love whatsoever and she was only invited to the wedding because their divorce wasn't final yet and I didn't want to make her mad. She'd already had his old nuts and bolts and tack board (no joke) in the garage appraised so they could be settled in the divorce as well. This from the woman who told friends of the family that she thought my father and I were "having an improper physical relationship" when I was 10 right after they got married.... Sorry didn't mean to go on about that, but her presence alone could have ruined the wedding but I steared clear of her as much as possible.

    Ugly babies! Thank goodness someone else has admitted this! My friend has an ugly baby girl and everyone always says how cute she is and I just cringe.

    I was seven months pregnant and had an abcess on my molar. And it was HOT outside. DANG, just remembering the sweat is AWFUL. Also, I couldn't get into the dentist until the next Tuesday because...well, my dentist sucks. AND my husband decided our honeymoon would be in St. Louis (which was fine) at a gig for his band (not so fine). We spent our wedding night in a hotel room with his bandmates and their girlfriends. With little ol' me and my abcessed tooth and kicking baby and sweat-drenched clothes. It pretty much blew. But the important thing is, he's letting me have a renewal of vows next summer. Because he knew the actual wedding sucked.

    The groomsmens tuxs' literally began falling apart an hour before the ceremony, and luckily the lady from the tux rental made it to the church 15 minutes before walking down the aisle! My MIL (who I have yet to meet; almost six years married) didn't show and my hubby was super embarassed. Then, a total *kitten* friend of my husband (who wasn't invited) showed up at midnight wearing jeans and a t-shirt that said "snatch" on it (formal wedding, mind you) and proceeded to dance with the drunk bridesmaids. I had secuirty escort him out. Otherwise, it was perfect!

    Edit: And, while getting ready to throw the bouqet, one of said drunk bridesmaids began screaming "it should have been me!" over and over. After, she told me that she was thinner and prettier and therefore should be getting married before me. Gee, I wonder why she's still single!

    Well the wedding was great. Prefect ! Well the wedding reception was a different story. The minster who married us was all hands on my sister in law. Which she didn't tell anyone till he was gone what happened. So my drunk mother in law called him on the phone and was screaming at him and not using very good language with him (all on video). My parents got so mad at me for drinking. Which I was 22 yrs old. I wasn't plaster or anything I had a small buzz going. They don't drink at all.So they left mad as hell. Other than that it was prefect.

    My son was so ugly when he was born that I kept begging them to take his name off the crib in the hospital because I didn't want anyone to know he was mine. I picked out a cute baby and told everyone that was him. :laugh:

    We had a bunch of 'near mishaps' but no disasters.

    One of my bridesmaids is a strict vegan and, even with all of the double checking and arrangements, the rehearsal dinner place and reception hall messed up her food and she ate plain lettuce for both dinners. They whipped up a PB&J for her at the reception... I was humiliated.
    She ended up getting drunk and dancing with every guy there, then caught the bouquet. 3 weeks later she called with pregnancy news (baby's fine!) and got married 3 months to the day after my wedding.
    My MOH's son was my ring bearer. All day he was happy as a clam and cute as a button, but as soon as the organ started and we all lined up, he started SCREAMING about not wearing his tuxedo shoes. My MOH tore them off and he walked down barefoot - everyone thought it was darling.
    The place where we had our reception had a slanted dance floor (a remodeled church), and matched with Illinois July heat, our wedding cake nearly melted and collapsed. My brother politely came over and told us to cut it before it went SPLAT.

    We drove the top piece of our cake back out to Nevada with us boxed up in a cooler like it was a live organ. It made it all the way there and sat in the freezer for 11 months. On our way out here to KY, my hubby was in charge of packing the cake and replacing the ice every day. On our 3rd day on the road, I carried the cooler up to the motel room and heard a sloshing sound. "Honey, did you put the ice into ziplocs?" I asked. NOPE. I opened the cooler to find our cake literally FLOATING inside it's Tupperware container. 3 weeks til our anniversary. How do you think it will taste? hehehe

    NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That's terrible! I'm assuming he's gorgeous now right? I mean who is cute when they come out 6 different shades of red and white, with goo on 'em, bald and toothless? I wouldn't date a man that looked like that, what makes it so cute on babies? Haha
