I forgot to mention the time the couple just finished a beautiful "sand ceremony" it talks about the grains of sand coming together to represent the union and the two colours can never be separated it was beautiful. Then their three year old son took the vase and dumped the whole thing on the ground. www.thecircushouse.com

I didn't know that it was going to be my wedding day. I had weeks previously told my then boyfriend that if he was going to stay with me he was going to have to marry me. I had meant sometime in the future. Little did I know he took it literally. Valentine's day was coming up and it happened to be a Tuesday - the same days my newspaper at the time that I was Editor of had to go to print. Those days for me started at 8am and went until midnight. I told him I could only give him a couple hours for lunch in the middle of the day. He took it. He also took me to the courthouse. The same room you get married in is the area you get passports so being the woman I am - with no passport - I thought it sweet we were going to get some so we could travel someday. Nope. We sat down at a desk and the woman started asking questions. Her last one was, "what is the date of the wedding?" and of course she looked at me. I shrugged as the man sitting next to me said, "we have an appointment in 10 minutes." (!!!) We waited in the hall for about 5 and then they called us in. He took a ring out of his sock and married me. Possibly the even bigger part of this story is that he 1) did the whole process online from his laptop while I was sitting next to him on the couch working on my laptop the week prior, and 2) He had no car at the time since he worked from home and only needed a bicycle so he had a friend drive him down to the courthouse to finalize for the coming big day and to take him to the shop to buy my ring. We left the courthouse and went and had my ring sized and ate burger king for our first lunch as man and wife. Then I went back to the newspaper and had to send it to print before coming home to my new husband at midnight. It's now been 3 and a half years. <3

My husband thought this was funny, so I thought I'd share...after a long wedding day (that I still feel my best day ever in my life) after having never left the dance floor during our reception and staying until the last guest left for the night, my husband and I walked to our hotel room/honeymoon suite. On the way there, my husband thought we should have a bottle of bubbly to cap off the day/night - my feet were sore so he told me to wait at the top of the stairs and he'd be right back. He took off sprinting back to our reception tent to grab a bottle of champagne...because he was a chivalrous man he wanted to carry me over the threshold and bc he had decorated the room himself he wanted to see it firsthand with me, gone less than five minutes he rushed back with the champagne in hand and found me slumped over on the stairs asleep on the stairs!! Not passed out from too much booze - just dead tired. He thought it was so endearing..he snapped a photo then scooped me up and brought me to our room. To this day, he gives me a hard time now and then poking fun at how the anticipation of our wedding night was so exciting that I fell asleep - LOL

funny episode. my story: 1. got married in a loft in May with record heat – no AC 2. used hot new caterer with chic actor waitstaff at the buffet - ran out of food 3. all 4 grandparents attending - their limo got stuck in traffic, extended the pre-service cocktail hour and everyone was a bit drunk for the nuptials. but hey, 24 years later and still married (and still laughing).

I didn't have anything horrible happen on my wedding day, thankfully. We got married at an Inn and our afternoon reception was right off the main lobby in a beautiful room over looking the river. I guess other couples in the Inn for other reasons thought it was a nice wedding because they came in to sign our guest book and several witnesses saw a couple dancing just outside the room our reception was in. After the reception was over I went to my room to change out of my gown because my mom was going to take it home so I didn't have to take in on our honeymoon. On my way back down the elevator in my regular clothes I lady asked if I saw the wedding and said it was beautiful. It make me feel nice to get a compliment like that. I never let on to her that I was in fact the bride.

At the end of our wedding in Kauai, my husband and I went down the waterslide in my wedding dress and his suit - literally taking the plunge! A bunch of our guests jumped into the pool after us. And then my new mother-in-law pushed one of my unsuspecting friends (who had her blackberry in the purse she was holding) into the pool. Awesome.

My brother was drunk about half way through the reception. Most of us were feeling good, but he was stumbling and very happy drunk. He couldn't even do the chicken dance correctly, which the DJ stopped the music to point out to the entire party at the reception (another reason not to get married in a small town where you've knonw every for years). At the end of the night, my drunken brother and a drunken bridesmaid decide to go home together, except they can't drive. So my dad drove them to a hotel and rented them a room for the night. My brother has since received several chicken dance toys just to serve as a reminder of that night!

I had this idea in my head of doing somethign really different for our wedding -- some historic house somewhere, maybe -- but then we got a great deal at a country club, and I'm enough of a budget fanatic for think, yeah, that sounds great. We couldn't get married in my family church because my husband had been divorced, so we literally asked the club manager if he could recommend a church nearby, and he was like, "Yeah, the reverend of the nearby Huguenot church is a member here -- good golfer -- and his wife works with my wife." Good enough for us! But it turned out fantastically. We were frugal about everything but the band, and that allowed us to get a wonderful five-piece swing band (that were playing when my husband proposed). What I remember most about the day was having a fantastic time dancing. Everyone -- from the littlest kids to my uncle who's a bit of a curmudgeon -- said it was the best wedding they'd been to. Which was personally gratifying since my older sister got engaged after us and married before us, just six months previously! http://www.flickr.com/photos/doyceandkate/2545662793/sizes/l/in/set-7215...
