Weddingbee boards

Ok so,  I now know not to have a wedding on a tuesday because well not as many people are able to show and people have to leave early.  I planned and planned for a year planning out big details and the smallest of details and yet some of my plans didnt turn out.  Im feeling icky because my husbands family all came in from everywhere and my family and friends that did come didnt want to get to know any of his family.  After it was all over and people went home on the 5th.  I felt really really sad and my stomach was upset.  Days later and after the honeymoon i look at the left over wedding stuff and im still sad.  sad that some things didnt happen the way i wanted it to and sad that our friends and family arent here and even sad that no one signed the picture matt that i had.  toward the end of the decorating i was so busy that i just left everything up to my friends and family.  they did a good job so i dont know why im feeling this way.  our wedding ended way to early.  our ceremony was at 245 and my husband and i got to the reception hall at about 400 had our dance ate threw boquet and garder ect.  people started leaving around 530 right after dinner.  Even my uncle (who walked me down the isle) was going to leave at about 530 and i started to cry and asked him to please stay just a bit longer.  so he would stay and about 645 he say he was leaving and of course id start to cry uncontrollably again.  this went on until he finally did leave at 800.  No one saved me any of the flowers or food.  It got so bad about me not wanting the night to end that my husband/ my aunt/my sister / my friend from when i was 8/ and my cousin all went out to the bar----in our wedding attire mind you! 

I have never been married before and i have never even been to a real wedding and im wondering if this is really how it is suppose to go?  People at the wedding said it was a great wedding and they had a good time; im not sure?

Anyone else feel this gut renching ache about it being over and the things that could of been different?

Thats a great idea crayfish....

My uncle was very supportive and walked me down the isle :-)  After my dad died 15 years ago my uncle always said he would do what it takes to help be there in the areas my dad would of been there.  A man to his word.  And he looked so handsome and he was so nervous it was cute.  It made me happy he cared enough to even be nervous and to get his lines right.  He practiced :-)

My sister (moh )never left my side from the time she got into town until the time she had to go back to north dekota.  and she even wore a dress :-)  she hates dresses. 

I had my two aunts come in from out of state and help decorate.  Brians mom and dad came in from new jersey and helped cook a huge rehersal dinner.  It was great to finally meet his dad after 6 years.  Brians uncle and aunt and also his god parents came from nj.  My friend from when i was 8 came from california just for the wedding. 

I met a lady at work named mary and she and i have become friends over this past year.  she really stepped it up.  She and i had gone through my vision on how id like to see the decorations go and when i didnt have any time to show others marry showed them and the place looked beautiful.  they did a great job.

the photographer that we hired she was great.  when the curls were falling out of my hair right before the ceremony she was right there recurling them :-)  oh ya and did i mention the photographer also calmed my mother down several times.  penny was such a great support. she was photographer/hair refixer/mother calmer.  a multitasker that is for sure.  the pics she took arent back yet but ill post some that brians dad took.

my husband looked awsome!  he and I are very simple people and he even wore a suit and everything.  We fumbled over my dress during the 1st dance it was fun.

the end of the night when people were just about out of there my sister grabbed my hand and she and i did a duet on the kareoke machine.  It was our favorite song growning up.

Did i mention my mother for the most part behaved herself.  She was a lady and i was proud.

The caterer did a great job on the prime rib :-)  Home cooked and everything!

My husband and i are usually alone/ our fam and friends live so far away that when they came for those few days it was great!  I miss family around.  sad to see them all go and unfortunatly i know that they wont ever be together like that again- people live too far away.  In the same aspect it was wonderful and fun to have everyone around so it makes me sad when they left. 

I will have pics of the good times and im trying to focus on that

here are just a few pics my father in law took
