Everyone tells you that the day goes by so fast and it really does. Sooooo many things went wrong but overall the day was wonderful and the good definitely outweighed the bad.

The bad stuff

1. I HATED my hair and make-up after getting it done at the salon. Can you imagine? It makes you want to cry and how can you look happy in the pictures when you hate the way you look? Thank goodness my maid of honor saved the day by redoing my make-up. She did a fantastic job and I got a million compliments from even the toughest critics.

2. But that made me an hour late to take city pictures so my friends Joyce and Yumi, and Mr. Bee and the photographer had to wait for me and we didn’t get to take as many pictures as we wanted.

3. Our car arrived 40 minutes late, but I was late so that didn’t matter… but still!!

4. The photographer realized she had her camera on the wrong setting after we finished our half hour of posed pictures with our family and wedding party. We had to retake all of them and because of time constraints we weren’t able to take all of them over again.

5. I HATED the cake. It wasn’t what I ordered - they made a hideous orangey ribbon out of fondant instead of the candy ribbon I requested. The funny thing is, this was the thing that made me the most mad. The other things that went wrong were out of my control, but the cake was something that should have gone right. I heard that the baker was given a black and white printout of the cake. That stilll doesn’t explain why the ribbon was orange because he knew red roses were going on the cake. My wedding planners put a white ribbon around the orangey ribbon and it looked a lot better. But I was still pretty peeved!

6. My ring bearer dropped and broke my digital camera and I’m leaving for Spain!

7. My parents got stuck in the elevator at the end of the night for an hour and a half and the fire department had to come rescue them.

The good stuff

1. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I took pictures in my dress outside and I wasn’t cold at all.

2. Our driver was a very good driver and knew the roads very well. Our photographer said he was the best wedding driver she’d ever had. He made the most of the time we had to take pictures.

3. My flowergirl and ring bearer are just about 2 of the cutest kids in the entire world. Everyone at the wedding fell in love with them and they really got everyone dancing. My flowergirl danced for 3 hours straight without a single break.

4. Our venue was beautiful. I loved all the flowers.

5. Everyone danced and had the greatest time.

6. Everyone could tell how happy Mr. Bee and I were.

Perhaps I’ll have time to upload some pictures later.
