Amanda too funny! thanks for sharing. I didn't want a big wedding either. I wanted to go to Vegas but my husband was the one that wanted the wedding yet somehow I was the one that did all the planning and making all the decisions...something he later apologized for. as for my Ring Bearer it was my son who was 17 months old and he didn't even walk and my flower girl was my 2 year old cousin. But I knew going in kids are going to be kids so what ever happened happened. I do agree with all the time and effort one puts into a wedding its a lot of work for ONE DAY! though I had a wonderful day I was incredibly stressed and broke...lol...by the end of it. But I was determined not to have a stress-filled day...My rule that day was whatever happened did and there was nothing I could do to stop it..plus after the ceremony I drank....A LOT haha It did rain that day but it rained in perfect timing if that makes sense...like it rained after I got in the car after my hair was done and it slowed down in between me getting in and out of cars and my limo it would rain hard when I was inside and it stopped long enough to take photos outside and held off until we got to the reception hall. Now one of my Bridesmaids is getting married and I'm her Maid of Honor and I have to help her do everything I just got done doing...lol...though hopefully its the last wedding I have to be in for awhile!

I was thinking about this lately, I remember that although I spent a lot of time and energy into planning and decoration for my wedding, I was too happy to even think about any of these during that day. I remember all I could think about was the feeling of happiness and joy! When I talk to my friend who is now going to get married, I felt like telling her not to worry too much about the planning and details, but simply to enjoy the process and the fact that she is getting married to a wonderful man. Overall, it is easy to be absorbed into the process of doing and it is important to step back and look at the big picture...
Just my thoughts...
