Have I Ever Told You About My Wedding?

I didn’t dream of my wedding as a little girl. I didn’t have visions of me in a white dress or a veil. I never stuck a pillowcase on my head and pretended to do the wedding march. To be completely truthful, I really never thought I’d get married. Who would WANT to marry me? Who would I WANT to marry? Who in the world could make me decide that I was capable of spending the rest of my life with one person and not kill them or have them kill me? Then I met Scott, well, I already knew him, but we were just friends at first. It wasn’t long after we started dating that I knew he was the one, and get this, I WANTED to marry him. It took him a little longer to figure it out, but I expect that out of a man. After we got engaged, we planned a small wedding at a sugar plantation in Louisiana. The location fell through, and we started talking about just running off to a beach somewhere and doing it on our own. The downside of that was we really wanted our families there. Finally we decided that we’d have a small wedding in my parent’s backyard, but my Mom and sister had to plan it all. Wedding frou-frou is not for me and I just wanted to show up and say I do, preferably with no one watching me. They did a great job planning, and it was nothing that could be helped, but my wedding was a comedy of errors. Scott’s sister had a wreck on the way. His Granny fell down in the driveway. The wrong cake was delivered. The people doing the music didn’t show up. The photographer spent most of the day looking down people’s dresses. I could go on and on. It didn’t matter. At the end of the day, we were married, and our families were there, and that’s all I cared about. And even though everything seemed to go wrong, it was beautiful and I was able to change into a wife-beater and some shorts about 20 minutes after the ceremony, and that’s my kind of wedding. I’ve always thought, I would marry Scott again in a heartbeat, but I wouldn’t want to have to have another wedding. Weddings aren’t for me, and that’s okay, but today I’m not so sure. Today I saw the video below, and it changed my mind. I’d renew my vows tomorrow if I could talk my wedding party into this. Check it out!
