Wedding Bliss…
I was the maid of honor in a wedding this weekend, a wedding that has been planned for some time now (I’m thinking at least two years). Somehow, this wedding managed to sneak up on us; however, and we were caught almost totally by surprise on Friday night. The decorations were graciously donated by a relative of the groom’s family, and they were beautifully done. however, there were a few places that needed a touch more spice. So the bride and I found ourselves hacking through the woods, through the back of my parents’ farm, through my garden, in and out of ditches and gravel pits looking for fall decorations: Corn, cat-tails, red leaves.
After that, we were at the reception hall until almost ten o’clock at night deciding where the head table should go. Of course, following that, the bride and I COULD NOT SLEEP. So, like typical girls, we took to having fits of giggling until the wee hours. We both woke up early and stared into he darkness before one of the longest days in my life commenced.
The bride cried when she said her vows, the maid of honor tripped on her high heels on her way up the aisle; the wind was cold and the groom was mortified when he accidentally dropped cake down the front of his new wife’s wedding dress.
All in all, a wonderful day.
