US Meets UK: I Can’t Believe We Forgot The….

Once I was safely in the air conditioning of the library, with a glass of champagne in my hand, I began to relax. Everything would be fine, and if it wasn’t fine – it just didn’t matter. Avocado assured me that if it did start to rain again, they’d whip all the chairs inside and no one would mind.

I had the purple shoes I had hunted for so long:

Which as it turns out, were way more comfortable when I wore them to Hamster’s wedding than when I wore them at my own.

Our wedding rings were clean and shiny (after I ran to the mall earlier that morning to clean them)

I proceeded to finish the process of becoming a bride.

The highlights of getting ready in the library were:

One of my BM’s fake nails popped off into my shoe. If I hadn’t had so many undergarments holding me together – I probably would have peed my Spanx.

The lace in my dress snagged, and I held my finger on the spot, while my prepared sister grabbed clear nail polish. Maybe this doesn’t sound funny when I type it out, but after the nail in the shoe incident, it was beyond funny to have one shoe on, holding a specific spot on my dress as through my life depended on it.

And the kicker for funniest moment?
When our officiant came to the room and asked if I had the marriage certificate.

The exchange went like this:
(knock, knock)
Laura (officiant): Hi Ms. D, do you have the marriage certificate?
Me: No, Mr. D has it in his backpack?
Laura: Oh, hmm, he says he thought you had it… let me go check with him again.
(knock, knock)
Laura: So, I want you to know that this isn’t a big deal, and we can just sign it later if it isn’t here, but… are you sure you don’t have it? Mr. D is very worried you’ll be upset at him for forgetting it…
Me: Hahahahahaah, I can see why he’d think that, but seriously, it isn’t a big deal and I really don’t care.
WE FORGOT THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. You, know, the whole LEGAL part of the ceremony. Oops. #weddingFAIL

So I continued relaxing, primping and laughing with my girls– what else could I do?

That’s so funny that you forgot the marriage certificate! I’m glad it didn’t end up being a big deal! And I love that you were able to stay calm when your dress snagged - I would have been a mess!

Hahaha oh gosh, forgetting the marriage cert is definitely something that would have happened to us too! Thankfully, Mr. B had it on him, but that was NOT one of the items on my “make sure you have it with you” list! I’m glad that everything came together though! Sheesh, I would have lost it if my dress snagged…

Sounds like you kept a really even head through all that. I would have been freaking out. I guess what they say is true, Don’t sweat the small stuff and it’s all small stuff. CongratS!!

We almost forgot to sign ours. Our ceremony was at 5 and around 8:30 my uncle (our officiant) remembered that we needed to sign it.

(I love that a nail popped off in your shoe.)

That’s hilarious - you’re not the first person I know to forget the marriage certificate…Mr. HC was all hyper sensitive about it and kept asking me if I had it!
