There a few people that I’d like to thank for their various contributions to our wedding week that may have gone unnoticed by others. While the week leading up to the wedding was a whirlwind, I now have all these little moments to look back on and be thankful for!
- To my college roommate Lexi, for crawling underneath my dress to fix the ever growing hole in it with multiple safety pins and pricking herself many times in the process (more on that debacle later).
- To my coordinator Corinne, for randomly having a broach in her purse to hide the multiple safety pins.
- To bridemaid Cate’s husband Mike, for running all the way back to the hotel to get my ID when the bouncer at Robert’s wouldn’t let me in without it (even in a wedding dress).
- To my friend Colin from high school, for doing the worm on the dance floor and teaching my mother-in-law how to “c-walk”.
- To my cousin Sybil and her husband John, for traveling all the way from LONDON for the celebration.
- To bridesmaid Kate, for mowing my lawn two days before the wedding since my parents were coming to see the house for the first time and I was too busy.
- To all my bridesmaids, for breaking into a spontaneous acapella version of “Going to the Chapel” while in the limo on the way to the church.
- To my flower-girl (and new niece) Lilly, for telling me I looked like Barbie.
- To whoever took my iphone away from me, I now realize it was a very good idea. I had no idea what time it was all day and therefore couldn’t mentally track the wedding day timeline.
- To my parents, for trusting in my planning abilities and letting me plan the whole thing by myself. They showed up having no clue what to expect and I’m sure that was nerve-wracking.
- To my brother Rick, for reading the Responsorial Psalm at the ceremony, hand gestures included.
- To my friend Adriane, for her amazing dance skills during the song “Don’t Stop Believing”, her leaps were truly stunning.
- To my florist and friend Hillary, for doing so much more than just wedding decor, she was my wedding savior in so many ways.
- To my friend Rob, who I sent to ask the DJ to play some more oldies, and instead requested “I’m On a Boat”.
- To Brent the DJ for not actually playing “I’m On a Boat”.
- To my friend Janna, for making really cool friendship bracelets out of the favor ribbons so that they wouldn’t go to waste.
- To everyone who was out on the dance floor, for keeping the party rocking for hours!
