So, with wedding season upon us - here, anyway... tell us about your wedding.

This little gem from Jimmy Fallon last night reminded me of our wedding:


Le sigh...yes, we were sooo in love and it was sooo 1991. My friend sang it while we stood there and looked at each other all dreamy eyed - the Ogre was hungover- greenish, sweating, shaking - everyone thought he was terrified of getting married - he was really just trying not to puke or pass out. We were the first of his friends to get married so they all learned a big lesson. Do NOT have the drunken bachelor party on the night before the wedding - WORD. We got married kind of fast - so the country club for both wedding and the reception - made it very easy on all of us - May 25th 1991 - almost 24 years ago. New Orleans honeymoon. It was sweet and the video is totally embarrassing, but what lovely days. I might dig up a picture and post it later. I'm at work now.

Our first dance was to Michael Bolton's Soul Provider - :a11:. Lordy, we were cheesy.

It was short and cheap.

True story: Sister said she would bring her professional camera and take professional pictures (she didn't) - had to go to the local convenience store and get several disposable cameras (in my wedding dress at the last minute, 30 minutes before the ceremony) - and, on top of that, pictures turned out badly - but we have an excellent video (which my brother took).

Our 1st dance song: Amazed by Lonestar

I reckon this thread is only suitable for those who are still married.

For the rest of us, it's a painful reminder of wasted years... and money! :mad-new:

Oh no! Say sorry , Sais! I too have a previous marriage - although I do wish I hadn't, I try to consider it lessons learned. We are who we are because of where we've been and who we loved and what we've been through.

First 'real' wedding in many years in my family, so it was wild. I locked myself out of my apartment when I went to get my hair done, so I had to race across town to my mom's house, get my spare, & race home to get my dress. I was late to my own wedding--lol. My little cousin flower girl freaked out when she saw all the people & ran to her mom, so my friend's little boy who was ring bearer also ran up the aisle, slammed the ring pillow into a bridesmaid's hands, & raced to his mom. My cousin showed up dressed as a hooker and forgot the signing book, so I have no signatures. Cake had the wrong flowers--I paid for fire and ice roses and it had limp orchids. The DJ didn't discover until it was time for the dance that he'd forgotten the tape with our song (U2's All I Want is You), and so we had Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2U (pretty, but not exactly a wedding song--lol). My friend Marty got a little tanked and kept trying to pick up my mom (or Hooker Cousin--he wasn't choosy). My SIL insulted my mom (and she's still insulted nearly 25 years later). My huge hilbillyish family was there, which was fun, but I hear my aunt had to be carried out of the bathroom when the reception was over, and someone threw up in my brother's long, blond, rockstar hair sometime later that night (he was sleeping on the floor). We got no food at the reception, because I refused to do a line and with tons of uncles, friends (most of my friends have always been guys), cousins, etc., I was dancing the whole time. On the way to the hotel we went through a fast food drive through in our wedding clothes & they gave us free food.

All in all, an excellent day :)

I was giggling through your whole story...what a great wedding day! You and your husband look adorable. The best bit is that your mom is still insulted nearly 25 years later!
