Well our marriage went off pretty much without a hitch. We kept our cool, and nobody ran screaming out of the chapel. Although I am sure one or both of us had thought about it.
They say that getting married can be one of the most stressful things that anyone can do. Aside from getting all of your teeth pulled without anesthetic, or being thrown into a pit full of poisonous snakes, I can’t think of too many other things that would be quite as stressful.
Just standing up in front of a large group of people can be a very stressful event in and of itself. I don’t think I heard much of what the minister said, I think I was too busy concentrating on keeping my knees unlocked and staying conscious.
Sher’s hesitance to say “I Will” brought a laugh from the congregation. I think that both of us felt some degree of relief and our anxiety level went down a couple of notches. It’s one thing to love someone and make a commitment to them, but when you are up there doing it before friends and family then it can bring on a whole new set of nerves!
After the ceremony we had a nice reception at Aunt Marlene's house. Sher was so drunk she fell into the cake and got some up her nose. (wink wink)
Now it's honeymoon time. Back next week with the full details.
Well maybe not the "full" details.
Thanks to Teresa, Daysha, Maggie and Steve for being there and standing up for us. Also thanks to Gary for the video and to all those in attendance and who hosted the reception for us, we are grateful!
