    Where do I begin???? 

    I finished my vows literally five minutes before walking down the aisle (I work better under pressure!), my husband (GAH!) messed up the words to the vows and it was HILARIOUS. I have video of it but I don't think there is any way to post it. My mother and I had WW3 on Thursday, and neither she or my sister showed up for my wedding, but it was better that way since they just make everything horrible. My wonderful cousin was the only family member of mine that showed up and I love him SO much for being so great. My husbands family was just great - they wrote personal notes to me telling me how glad they were to bring me into their family and that I would never lack a family again, which made me cry.

    I was amazed at how quickly it went - such a blur. I barely even remember the ceremony. We didn't get a single bite to eat, but we didn't even notice it until we left (aaaaand then went through the drive thru at McDonalds! I was craving fries, big time...). We had a Michael Jackson dance -off (only our friends, I swear...lol!) and every single person said that it was the best, most fun wedding they have ever been to. Our fauxto booth and mustaches were a hit, and about 15 friends have changed their FB profile pics to a pic taken at our wedding, so it's fun to see all the pics they took!

    I have some sneak peek shots from my photographer, and a LOT of friend pics - I hope they show, if not, I'll resize and re-post.

    Overall, even after all of the stress, family angst, and anxiety - I wouldn't change a thing. it was the most fun night of my life thus far and I'm maaaaaarried!!! :D

    awwwww, congrats!!  You looked absolutely gorgeous and you both looked so so incredibly happy!  It seemed like the wedding had an awesome unique vibe - can't wait to see your pro pics!  That is a bummer about your family - it makes me sad that they couldn't put everything aside and be there for your day - but good for you, it seems like you had an amazing time anyways!

    The fisheye lens didn't work out as well as the regular lens on the fauxto booth - just a word of advice!! :)

    @AnnieAAA - Yes! mine was yellow and my MOH's was white! We used them for the centerpieces as well (in white) and a large yellow one on the buffet table. The white centerpiece ones are in this pic, in the background. I wanted really simple, really low to the table. They were perfect!

    Oh!  It looks like so much fun!  I was thisclose to getting married in a theater, but it was a bit too small for us, and I ultimately wanted to be outside.  But seriously, you guys pulled this off so well!  Congratulations!  And I'm sorry about your fam - it's great that your husbands family is so welcoming though!
