Overall the wedding was lovely- the whole day. I was so excited, not nervous and forgot to pee prior to the ceremony! LOL The chapel was packed with friends and family and totally full of love. We had taken Boy pictures and girl pictures prior to Chapel arrival- it was important to me that we didn't see one another before the service. I was so anxious to get the ceremony going- to smooch on that cutie pie of mine!

We were lucky enough to have friends that took pictures and video, and those that helped with keeping Fishstick cool, calm and making funny faces to the audience. It wouldn't be a picture or group there of without a goober one from the 'stick'

To my surprise, when walking down the isle the Reverend that we had rehearsal with the day before is NOT standing at the Alter. Oh no, it's this turd-tastic guy that is very used car salesman like when getting you to book the Chapel. It wouldn't have been a problem, except that he totally bombed our service. We had opted for our own vows, a unity candle, and a mellow Unitarian type service. What we got- a few Bible verses, a lot of "Jesus" and "Lord"'s, a "Father, Son and the Holy Ghost", no unity candle and our vows forgotten about.....
Luckily we made it through it and got the big ole smooch in there! (Thank goodness he didn't forget about that!)

After all kinds of pictures, that I cannot wait to see (because Tracy Olsen rocks the shutter like no other) we made our way to our reception. It was beautiful, perfect, exactly what I had pictured in my head for the past six months! And it was FULL of people we love. You can't get much better than that! I heard that the food was great, the bar was hopping, and our DJ played fantastic music!

The cake was so pretty, and I also heard it tasted fantastic! We were almost nice to one another when cutting it, but somehow we both ended up with frosting all over our faces, and yes the Groom decided to lick it off my face....... sticky much??? LOL

After the reception, our carriage- a Cabby on a bike- Smiley- came to get us to take us to the after party we planned at the Starline. Ticket to Ride was the band, and my goodness it was AWESOME! Beatles music, drinking, dancing, laughs and hugs. The perfect ending to a crazy day.

We are dancing and schmoozing and having a grand time, when these two end up on stage, deja vu style from this past Rogue festival. They have pirated our Unity candle and our vows from the Chapel. They pulled us up on stage with Dezzie and Nic to say our vows and light our Unity candle. It was amazing!


After getting family members into cars and saying a few good byes- we got a chance to step back and relax for a few before getting ready to go to our hotel room for the night... no nothing funny like that- we ordered a pizza and went to bed! LOL

Sunday was brunch with family and friends, opening a few gifts and hitting the road to Tahoe for a week to bask in our wedded bliss. It was beautiful. We talked about the whole adventure from pre wedding to where we are now the entire time we were gone. The sun shining, the water so blue.



And now back in the swing of things we are having a blast, kickin it with the kitties and getting back into our baseball watching and relaxing. But here we are- The Fishsticks!

A big huge ginormous thank you to all that attended, took pictures, laughed, drank, danced and helped out so much with everything. You guys have no idea how much we love you for all that you do for us!
