Back from the Honeymoon and am ready to give you details Warscott style.
The day before the wedding, I went to sleep at 10pm and got up at 3am. 2 1/2 hour drive to the airport to pick up the maid of honor and her parents. And guess what? The plane arrives late. No information on the screen until 6am which is the time it was suppose to arrive. Actually the screen never stated the plane landed so I guess it crashed on the run way and throwed the passangers into the terminal. Finally picked up 3 people and then I get lost. Great for first impressions when I have lived in VA my whole life. Well we finally get to where my wife was working n flowers at 10am so the Maid of Honor can try on her dress. I take them to their hotel (20 min drive), pick up a dress, papers, information, etc. etc. Get to where my wife is working on flowers and have to pick her up and take her to the rehersal with the flowers she has finished. (Notice, no nap, no rest, no breaks, at this point my chests hurts and my eyes burn).
At the rehersal it is total chaos. Trying to place flowers, setup music, decorate. We had forgot to figure out how we wanted the wedding to go. The pastor asked us what we are going to do and we told him we have no clue and to help us. So the Pastor and his wife spent about 20 minutes setting up the procedure of the wedding. The rehersal was suppose to start at 4pm, it actually started at 5pm. The rehersal dinner was suppose to be at 5:30pm, we got there 6:15pm. Made it to where my wife was working on flowers at 8:30pm, stayed there and helped til 11pm when I collapsed and fell asleep. At least I lasted 20 hours without a break before crashing.
Wedding morning I jumped out of bed at 6am running. Had to get the reception hall setup since the community center would not allow us to do it til the morning of the wedding. Was suppose to take pictures at my parents house at 10:30am, we did not get done with the setup til 10:30 and no one was dressed. Cancel pictures. Ran home got dress had to leave by 11:00 to go get the keys to the cottage we where going to stay in for 4 days to get away from everyone and then at the church by 12pm. Final setup by myself and then I sat down (this lasted 2 minutes before someone came and got me again).
Out of all the mess and problems months before the wedding, the wedding went Perfect. No problems or delima. We had 2 flower girls slightly arguing but that was taken care of in 30 seconds.
My wife was so beautiful coming down the aisle. I almost cried, caught myself and was able to stop it. However, I shook through the whole thing. My wife told me I was shaking bad when she held my hand. We invited 75 people, but only 40 showed up.
Got to the reception (it was raining when we got in the car) and the food was great. Many compliments on the food. Had a first dance and I am all big left feet. Everyone got a laugh and we sat down before the end of the song. The presents were great, but most of it is a blurr to me because I was so tired I wasnt functioning any more.
We run to my house, get clothes and take off for the cottage. My wife walks in the door at 9pm and falls asleep at 9:30pm and doesnt wake up til 10am. She had been staying up to 1 and 3am every day for weeks trying to get things done. I fall asleep at 11pm and take naps off and on for the next 3 days. She sleeps every day for 12 to 14 hours while I run around and get things taken care of and returned from the wedding. Good thing this wasn't our honey moon.
We left for the honeymoon Friday for the beach. Enjoy a great morning on Saturday walking the beach before the sun came up with the one I love. Good thing both of us were well rested and could enjoy the 5 days together away from everyone. I didn't even answer my cell phone. YEAH!!!!!
The only interesting thing to note during the honey moon was one night of our stay at a timeshare. Someone gave us a 3 night stay at a timeshare for our wedding present. The room was about the size of a hotel room, but it had some problems. Dining room table was wobbly, Bed shoke and was as hard as a rock, pillows were like laying on granite, wife had to stand on a chair to cook since everything was a foot over my head (microwave, toaster oven) and yet she still couldnt reach the plates since they were 8 1/2 feet up, all the knives were dull, biggest glass was about the size of 2 shot glasses, no dvd player
, no internet connection, etc. Then to make matters worse, the people stay beside us got in a argument at 10pm. The lady cursed and argued for hours. Finally the guy kicked her out and wouldn't let her back in, so she kicked the door and cursed louder (1am). Finally someone called the police who showed up at 1:15am and left at 2am. We finally fell asleep at 3am.
Told the people the next morning about it and they gave us a room that was 4 times the size of the original room and it was QUIET.
Well this is the story. Came home on Tuesday and I am still breathing
