Our Wedding Day 3-19-05


My friends and family,
In case you were not there, I wanted to say that my wedding was spectacular!
My mother-in-law made a 3 layer red velvet cake with pink frosting and 2 long chocolate pound cakes. On the top of the wedding cake she made and placed a beaded cat and a beaded pig, Tom and my favorite animals! They were lovely and so was the cake...yum!
I wore a skirt and top which was an eastern Indian design and had kind of a Renessaince look and feel (the shoulders kept falling down which was a tad annoying but everyone said it looked great).
Tom wore a grey suit and a shirt which I call a "Montel" shirt (Montel Williams always wears them), with a circle collar and thus no need for a tie. He looked sooooo sexy...but then again he always does. ;)
We read our own written vows and dined and danced and everyone commented on how unique it was. All I can say is I did not look in any wedding books. I simply worked with Tom to come up with neat ideas for things for the reception.
We created dreamcatcher table gifts, I designed the tags for them, as well as the table place cards. I also put on every table a conversation paper with the explanations of some of the more well-known wedding traditions and their histories on them. The table flowers were light vases filled with marbles and cute flowers, white for all the tables but ours and the kid's table which had flowers with our wedding colors in them...mauve and white.
I wish everyone could have been there but, admittedly, the 80 or so we had was quite enough. I feel I didn't get to talk with everyone like I would have liked. Sorry to those of you who may read this and may not have gotten chat time:(
And to those who just found out...I want to share my special day with you and let you know that (in case you don't already know) happiness is there waiting for you...you sometimes have to be patient!
I myself am the happiest bride in the world...
We went to Ft. Lauderdale on our honeymoon but that's another story. Suffice it to say we had a warm and wonderful time!
Love you all!
Michelle
