Wedding Recap: Ceremony

Our wedding ceremony was interesting to say the least. To start off I totally and absolutely lost it as soon as I started walking down! I was crying uncontrollably and couldn't stop. I don't know why I got so emotional all of a sudden. Joey and I had been together for 7 years and I was soooo ready to get married but I guess after waiting for so long and then not having my dad there, it just got the best of me.

Our ceremony like most others did not run all the way smoothly. There were a few bumps in the road. The first the song I walked down the aisle to didnt stop once I got there. We stood there for at least a minute while it continued to play. That was partly my fault because we didnt rehearse the night before with the music. Bad idea. So the pastor had to start talking over the music until it ended.

The second mishap was that when I was repeating my vows after the pastor i had to ask him not once but TWICE to repeat one of the lines. And of course everyone started laughing. LOL. The last mishap was that we forgot to light the outer candles for our unity candle. So when it cam down for us to light the candle we had to stop and ask someone for a lighter. So without further adeu, here are some pictures of our ceremony:
