And We Are Finally Weddinged!

Lordy the last month has been so busy I haven't had time to post about how Sir and I's Wedding Vow Renewal went! First off, my father in law destroyed the area we were going to use for ceremony and reception TWO WEEKS before the wedding. Luckily, he had enclosed part of the property and we ended up cleaning it up as best as we could a few days before. His mother came through on the day of with a bunch of food, so no one would go hungry and we were able to get the electric on so we could have pretty lights and music, though no dance floor since that was on the part of the property that was destroyed(Literally looked like a bomb hit it). So, I'll give you guys the run down of the goods and the bads.

Good:
1. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful.
2. The music was perfect.
3. The cake was awesome(A black and white red velvet cake with a skeletal bride and groom on top)!
4. Cutting the cake with a replica of the butcher knife in the Halloween movies and the looks on our relative's faces when we did that was priceless.
5. The look of pure love and admiration on my Sir's face.
6. The pure love and admiration for Sir I'm sure showed on my face.
7. The friends and family that actually showed up and helped with everything.
8. My son refusing to let me walk down the aisle alone and "giving me away" to Sir.
9. That my Mom showed up.
10. We looked FABULOUS!
11. All of our children were there.
12. Everyone who came had a great time and loved the raspberry mead we made.

Bad:
1. Having to relocate 2 weeks before the ceremony.
2. It was brutally hot and humid!
3. We never got a first dance.
4. The reception got cut short because of rain.
5. Half of the RSVP's didn't show or call.
6. Everything but the ceremony and the cake cutting felt rushed.
7. Sir was sick and has been trying to get over being sick, so we didn't get to play until today when He felt better.
8. Having tractors in the background of most of our pictures because they were not moved as promised.
9. Sir and I barely got to spend any time with each other.
10. The skeletal Groom took a tumble because it was so hot the icing melted a little, but I righted Him.

All in all, not a bad day. There are things I will always cherish about it, like my Sir's look of love and my son walking me down the aisle. But, I'm glad it's all over...pheeeew!


Pictures? But of course!

During the ceremony(Notice the roses on tulle ropes behind us? Yeah, no one had a clue what THOSE represented. Clever, clever us!)


The ring ceremony(Nor did they understand why I wore the lace corset gloves that represented my cuffs)

Our awesome cake


Cupcakes for the kids


My awesome duct tape rose bouquet(yep, I made it myself)
