My elopement was perfect. I didn't havta plan at thing so everything was a wonderful suprise that I wouldn't trade anything for in the world...
The formal religious ceremony...
Well...
We should have paid for that "vortex tour" in Sedona, Arizona for my MIL... How one can be bitchy in such a spiritual place is beyond me... But we were ready to send his mama towards some kind of Epiphany... Any kind...
David's Bridal my have inexpensive wedding dresses, but they you have to wear 2 sizes higher than your own... And they rip you off with alterations... At least the "buy off the rack" dresses are in many locations--coast to coast... And I chose a dress that was a two piece. Not a fanciful, debutante dress I wore back when I was 16...
Mind you once we had the wedding ceremony in the "chapel" in Sedona--when I wanted the "Chapel on the Hill"--a Roman Catholic Church that only catholics were allowed--then later to find out they let other folks of different denominations or religions use the chapel... And I wanted dinner in the Enchantment Resort, but the dayum planner would not plan that for us... (Another story)... All this to say:
I FELL DOWN DURING PICTURES!!!
I scuffed by $200 sandals... Didn't mess up my dress. Ruined my head bouquet... Oh well...
But, we were already married which didn't make a difference...
We paid the photographer too much money when my sister in law took better pictures to begin with...
And there were side arguments I didn't find out till recently between my mom and my MIL...
Oh well. At least my husband and I are happy...
