16. ANY FUNNY MOMENTS? DURRING THE CEREMONY: WHILE I WAS SAYING MY VOWS I CAME TO THE PART “IN FRONT OF GOD AND THESE WITNESSES…” AND MY FRIENDS TELL ME THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CLAP OF THUNDER. IT WAS HURRICANE SEASON IN FL… IT WAS THE WEEKEND OF HURRICANE ANDREW. AFTER THE CEREMONY, WE COULDN’T GET PEOPLE TO LEAVE THE CHURCH BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING. WE HAD TO HURRY UP AND GET OUR PICTURES TAKEN BECAUSE WE HAD STARTED THE CEREMONY LATE AND THEY WOULDN’T LEAVE. WE WERE SHAKING HUGGING AND SHAKING HANDS AND PUSHING THEM OUT THE DOOR. LOL OUR LIMO DRIVER WASN’T HAPPY AS HE WAS LATE FOR HIS NEXT GIG. HE WAS DRIVING VERY FAST TO DROP US OFF AT THE RECEPTION…SO OUR BEST MAN GIVES THE DRIVER THE WRONG DIRECTIONS TO THE RECEPTION HALL SO WE COULD GET TO RIDE LONGER. LOL
17. ANY BIG DISASTERS? THE MORNING OF THE WEDDING, MY MAID OF HONOR, HER SISTER, MY MOM & I WENT TO THE RECEPTION HALL TO GO DECORATE IT. WHEN WE BOOKED THE HALL MONTHS EARLIER WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CARPET WOULD BE REPLACED OR AT LEAST CLEANED FOR THE RECEPTION. IT WAS NEITHER! WE WENT TO PLACE OUR CENTERPIECES ON THE ALREADY SET TABLES AND NOTICED THAT THE TABLE CLOTHES WERE DIRTY WITH BITS OF FOOD STILL ON THEM AND MANY OF THE GLASSES HAD LIP STICK ON THEM!!! THE STAFF WAS ALREADY ON THE PHONE CALLING TO RENT US CLEAN TABLE CLOTHS AND THEY PROMISED NOT ONLY TO FIX EVERYTHING BUT TO DECORATE THE HALL FOR US…AS I COULDN’T STAY…I HAD A WEDDING TO GET READY FOR. IN RETURN FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS WE WERE UPGRADED TO THE SUITE INSTEAD OF JUST A REGULAR ROOM. THEY BROUGHT IN CARPET CLEANERS WHO JUST MANAGED TO MAKE THE CARPETS WET SO THEY STAINED MY SHOES & DRESS AND OUR SUITE HAD A HUGE BLEACH “STAIN” IN THE CARPET AND WAS A SMOKING ROOM. LUCKILY OUR REAL HONEYMOON WAS AT DISNEY WORLD WITH A BETTER ROOM… BUT BY THEN THE HURRICANE HAD MADE LANDFALL. WHICH WAS REALLY A GOOD THING…IT CLEARED OUT DISNEY AND MADE IT NOT SO HOT THERE.

Well tomorrow is our big day. We will celebrate it by going as a family to see the Titanic exhibit at our museum and then taking Darly to her gymnastics class. After that Darly will go spend the night at her friend's house and DH are going out to dinner. What comes after that I do not know as it isn't scripted yet. I also don't know how long on Thursday Darly will be at her friend's house. We'll play that by ear.
Happy Anniversary to you and your DH! In this day and age, 15 years is quite an accomplishment! Hope DH doesn't decide to watch the Blue Man Group DVD again. lol
