Funny Wedding Stories

We did our civil wedding in November so Anton could stay in the US and get on with the AOS. That was just a small few friends, going out for dinner after type wedding, although I did end up being late, couldn't find my witness, and forgot the flowers I brought for the ceremony at the JP, but yesterday was even funnier.

I wrote my ceremony and asked my friends to each have a part. Anton and I coreographed our entrance to and Elvis song, I Can't help Falling in love, we practiced the night before and also the morning before with the full ensamble of friends.

The practice went well except for some teariness of course from my friends who were doing the readings.

It was time for the real ceremony....

The first goof was my friend doing the music faded out the music before the most important Lyric... Take my hand, take my whole life too, then I turned around and the candles hadn't been lit on the alter. as we were about to do the unity candle lighting.

I just said, opps does anyone have a match. No one in the entire room had a match or lighter and I had left my lighter I brought up in the other house where I changed.

We had the wedding in a community clubhouse so there were a bunch of non-invited guests outside at the pool.

One lady who was sunning herself ran across the street to get us a lighter. So I just said, Take 2 Deborah and Anton's wedding and had everyone laughing. So Anton and I re-entered the music was cued perfectly the candles were lit, my friends didn't loose it crying and I had a few glistening tears in my eyes as I said my vows that I had written for Anton.

The other funny thing that happened, my camera man bent down , to pick up his Camcorder he had laid next to another set of candles next to our cake, we started to smell burning hair. He had burnt his bangs.

I guess we should have kept the candles unlit after all. LOL

What a memorable day that finally happened after a year and a half in the works....
