Entry 369: I Do, You Do, We Do!

My Dress: Mori Lee 1964

Well guess what you guys?! I got married this past weekend! No one seemed to notice that I was missing a pearl out of my hair piece or that my veil was white and didn't match my ivory dress (or that it was a .50 yard sale score lol) - In the end all those little things don't matter. It turned out great and we were so happy to see everyone that showed up. It really was a day that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

I didn't want to see Michael the day of the wedding so the night before I slept in the guest room, it was uncomfortable and I hated it but I wanted the next time he saw me to be walking down the aisle. I wanted to keep the butterflies alive! I am also superstitious lol - I wore something blue (my underwear), something old (a heart charm), something new (my necklace) & something borrowed (earrings from a friend) AND I have our cake topper in the freezer to eat a year later! It also rained earlier in the day before our ceremony and they say that is good luck. I'll take it! I am just glad we didn't get wet! If you ask me we couldn't have had better weather.

We decorated most of the day before and all of Saturday before the ceremony. I almost forgot to get myself ready! I was so happy with how it turned out, it was exactly what I had envisioned! Planning a wedding is tough work & I thought for sure I would forget something obvious. I seemed to have all the bases covered besides that fact that Michael and I forgot to practice dancing lol - Our song was No Rain by Bind Melon, which is kind of an up-beat song so it took a little bit of awkward motions & foot stepping to get it right but we got er'.

I shared some pictures from the wedding in a slideshow below. Six of them are the photographers (which are marked), the rest is what I and others took. I can't wait to see the rest of her pictures, she does amazing work and I am so happy we went with Amberly Schmidt Photography!

Our Honeymoon in Wisconsin Dells

---

We decided to honeymoon in Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at a hotel waterpark and had a blast. We felt like kids for a few days. We left on Monday and came back Wednesday evening. Michael got me to do some things that I never thought I'd do like ride the scariest water slide at the park and ride go karts. Neither of which I liked lol - The water slide was so scary I had rubber legs when I got off. I am not a thrill seeker that's for sure! The go karts were fun but the seats were so hot that I felt like I was going to get 3rd degree burns on my tooshie! That and my brakes sucked so I was terrified I was going to crash. Let's just say Michael caught up to me. I think I will just keep it to Mario Kart!

The only downer  of the trip was I thought we were getting a balcony room, and we did, it just happened to be on the ground level! Grrr. I had envisioned myself sitting on the balcony drinking coffee in the morning but instead I was more paranoid at some creeper breaking in through the sliding door. Then for the first day and half we were freezing in our room and the buttons didn't work on the air conditioner. Night #2 we noticed the thermostat on the wall. You can tell it has been a while since either of us has stayed at a hotel! I almost called the front desk to complain of a broken AC but didn't feel like having someone come in our room to check it out. Plus we were barely there anyways.

I shared some pictures below from our trip in a slideshow.
