How to be a Rocking Bride

October 1st, 2008 @ 1:28 pm by Mrs. Green Tea

This past weekend, Mr. GT and I attended our first wedding as married guests in lovely Reno, NV. Here Mr. GT’s ‘little sis’ will show you how to be a bride who ROCKS!

1) First, you gotta make all your brothers (pseudo and blood) look like wimps standing next to you at all times (Mr. GT is on the far left, BIL GT is on the far right):

2) Be walked down the aisle by not just one, but TWO handsome boys who love you to death:



3) Make it clear to the hubs early as to who will be calling the shots in your marriage, in front of witnesses:

4) Take off from your wedding ceremony in the driver’s seat:

5) Add your style of simple, fun, and colorful details to the event (who doesn’t love the classic fall theme?):

6) Serve irresistible signature drinks like chocolate martinis and chocolate milk!


7) Include sweet touches such as a guest book with plenty of pictures of your childhood and with friends (this pic shows BIL GT showing the bride some love as kiddies):

8) Recruit only adorable children to be in your wedding party. Make sure at least one ring bearer has hair that matches your wedding colors, and assign him to flirt with all the lady guests:

9) Invite the coolest guests (the first pic is of Mr.GT and me, the second pic is of our groomsmaid with her playful hubs):

10) Pick a song to dance to and dedicate to your brother that makes him cry uncontrollable tears for at least one whole minute:
11) Get yourself some priceless hilarious friends to give fabulous toasts in your honor that include embarrassing childhood stories:
12) Start off karaoke right with ’R-E-S-P-E-C-T’ and the Rock Band mic tap:

13) If step 12 is properly executed, it should lead to the following:

(Sweeeeet Caroline…)

(Ba, Ba, Ba!)

14) Of course, keep the wine flowing all night to keep up the high (illustrated by the tipsy Mr. GT here)!

Congratulations Heather and Chris! Thank you for letting us be part of your day that was truly as fun and charming as you both are. We love you!

What tips have you taken away from weddings you’ve been to recently?

Oh my gosh! I thought your hubs looked familiar in your posts but I couldn’t figure it out and I just put it together! He went to UNR, right? So did I! I think we might have had a few classes together or something - I have a Marketing degree from there. Anyway, I definitely know his face. So funny!

I love Reno so much and these photos say it all - it’s always about fun there! Southern CA is quite different and I miss home a lot.

I just had to comment and say I loved the pics… that was my dress too! I had a winter wedding, but it looks great in those pics with a fall theme too. :)

Sounds like it was a really fun time!

Hahahaha–our ring bearer is a “red” also (just like my husband-to-be). He goes so wonderfully with our autumn color scheme :)

@Mrs. Pineapple: I KNOW! i had known heather’s dress was the same as yours for awhile and i had a feeling you’d enjoy seeing it in action ;)

@Megs: Her dress is from David’s Bridal, and it’s also Mrs.Pineapple’s dress so you can check back in her blog posts for more pictures and her dress shopping experience!

Jan - Great pictures and even better naration! I especially like step 11 (maybe that is because it is all about me). Thanks for sharing.
