(We did the fighting fish in bowls as centerpieces for my dd's outdoor wedding in 2003, btw!)<br /><br />We were at a barn wedding, fairly casual -- the bride wore pink tennis shoes, reminiscent of a movie (Runaway Bride, maybe?). When the reception music started, someone switched out the first song that was supposed to be played, country song that honored marriage, and replaced it with one that was all about divorce. You should have seen us scrambling to get that song turned off as we realized what the words to the song were.cjajsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275951453869775157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-55370414824126994302011-07-11T18:58:56.792-07:002011-07-11T18:58:56.792-07:00How's this??

My family and the whole church were in on it but no one told me anything. My Mother and 3 sisters were in the congregation at church and I didn't even see them. I was sitting with the choir...in my choir robe...when the pastor called me to come to the front of the church. HUH??? That's when I found out I was getting married again!!! How many ladies out there have been married in a choir robe?? I asked if it was too late to change my mind!!! The ladies of the church had made a big cake and planned a pot luck social/reception for after church. After getting over the shock of having been so completely kept out of the loop, we had a wonderful day and are still married...it will be 33 years the 29th of this month!! margie at mijares dot netmargiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706577894760018056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-86960947341132736092011-07-11T14:55:12.630-07:002011-07-11T14:55:12.630-07:00I haven't been to any weddings in ages.

While dressing in the basement, her mother was trying to get her to relax a bit as she was so nervous. She asked her to think positive thoughts and share a favorite memory of their dating experience. At that moment, the bride leaned over and threw up...we prayed that the marriage experience would be better! ;-) Fortunately, a church member had a helpful prescription with her for easing anxiety and the brides symptoms disappeared for the ceremony!DCeroniWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949459152939422934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-71074960316127950122011-07-11T13:25:29.415-07:002011-07-11T13:25:29.415-07:00I'm Rosie the flower girl's aunt and I for...I'm Rosie the flower girl's aunt and I forgot to leave my email address!

Her flower girl was her 3-year-old daughter, who threw the rose petals like a fast-pitch softball pitcher. Then, during the photo session, laid down and stuck her feet in the air. I have the photo to prove that. It's one of life's funniest moments for us.Betty Thomason Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086143814398663190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-76931419626576190612011-07-11T12:21:36.894-07:002011-07-11T12:21:36.894-07:00An outdoor wedding, and it was drizzling rain, but...An outdoor wedding, and it was drizzling rain, but the rain stopped and a double rainbow appeared after prayer.

You should have seen her face when she saw him, lol, funny stuff. Her and the groom both laughed. Needless to say, our son did change into presentable clothes for the wedding.<br /><br />wfnren at aol dot comWendy Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155923100367204852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-55479217334363837442011-07-11T08:24:56.659-07:002011-07-11T08:24:56.659-07:00It has been a few years since I went to a wedding....It has been a few years since I went to a wedding. My most memorible was when my husband was invited to a Russian wedding. It was all spoken in Russian. I was impressed by the 2 hr wedding. We had somewhat of an intermpreter for the reception dinner, but not for the wedding. It was very fun and interesting.<br /><br />Please enter me in the drawing. I love Janice Thompson's books.

Two years ago seemed to be the year of weddings. I went to several right in a row and even went to mass one day NOT knowing that it was a wedding mass. Luckily the couple wanted to share their day with the normal parishners so we stayed and witnessed a beautiful union. <br /><br />srstormo at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-38240596831903591852011-07-11T07:09:21.767-07:002011-07-11T07:09:21.767-07:00I attended a wedding where the Bride wasn't la...I attended a wedding where the Bride wasn't late, the Groom wasn't late, but the Groom's parents were!! The wedding was held up for nearly 30 minutes when finally they arrived! It appears they didn't leave early enough to beat the traffic! The wedding was in Columbus, Ohio. <br /><br />P.S. The Groom's Father had just yelled at the Groom the night before for missing the wedding rehearsal because he was out golfing and wasn't watching the time!!
