Weddings aren’t my thing, I guess.
This December I’ll have been married for 24 years.
That is quite a while ago.
Maybe that’s why I can’t remember much of my wedding? Or maybe it is more that I was never one of those girls pouring over Brides magazine.
I always imagined I get married but as far as planning or dreaming about the perfect wedding, once I was past seven years old and Cinderella and Prince Charming — I gave it no thought.
Stasha and this week’s Listicle is 10 Things Wedding.
I am drawing a blank on anything creative. So I’ll try and remember 10 things from my wedding 24 years ago.
10. I remember the groom. He’s still with me.
9. Red tulips. My bridesmaids carried red tulips. At that time a bit exotic for a Central Florida wedding. I still feel happy when I see red tulips.
8. It was a morning wedding. My church growing up was white woodwork and white marble. I thought is beautiful with sunlight streaming in. Flip side, services in the dark with candles always seemed sad to me.
7. Red poinsettias all down the aisle. Which the train of my gown kept tipping over. The video is pretty funny with people jumping up after I passed righting the pots.
6. I moved about 5 feet at the reception. We just stood and greeted people.
5. The groom showed up.
4. We remembered to kiss. In the Methodist ceremony the minister does not say, “You may kiss the bride.” I tossed and turned all the night before fretting that we would not remember to kiss sealing the deal. We almost forgot. You can see me pulling John back to kiss and make it official.
3. I wore an orange and blue garter.
2. Vague memories not liking being the center of attention. But at wedding, not much a bride can do about that.
1. It was a blur. For something supposedly so monumental in life, it was like I was going through the motions of someone getting married. Which I was.
Glad I only have to do that once. I guess I not very good at weddings.
What about you? What do you remember from your wedding?
