Oh, what a day...

The wedding was fabulous! And hopefully there will be pictures to post real soon! But before my memory starts fading, I wanted to jot down some of the memories of the day...

My girlfriends helping me get ready. Lets just say there was an incident with self-adhesive fake boobs. I'll never be able to look at Laurel and Marissa the same ever again.

Deana literally had a needle and thread and sewed my jacket to my dress right before the wedding. She rocks!

Getting a locust caught between the lace and satin of my dress while taking pictures

Having to take off my girdle after going to the bathroom because the corset was so tight, I couldn't get it back on!

The little flower girls were absolutely adorable and loved being in the wedding.

I absolutely loved my wedding cake. It came out better than I expected and tasted SO good!

Deana and Dale gave sweet, sentimental toasts. My Dad also gave an impromptu toast that was very thoughtful.

Eric's nephew (now mine), Sammy trying to do the limbo. He is 7 and kept everyone rolling with laughter. I hope we got some pics of his face!

My step-dad, Roger dancing! He is Bill Cosby! Adorable, stylish and non-stop energy. Let's hope those knee replacements held up.

My impromptu "I Will Survive" dance. It was as if it was choreographed. I didn't know I had it in me. ;) There was a bit of a lull in the dancing and the DJ queued the song. I spotted Eric from across the room and as I started lip syncing and dancing, he made his way to the front and totally went along with it. It was so fun!

The garter removal to "Folsom Prison Blues". Eric and my first dance ever was to that song so it had meaning to us. He totally hammed it up. Hysterical.

Eric trying to do "the worm". I'm pretty sure his back will be sore for a few weeks.

Watching my nieces and nephews come out of their comfort zone and dance! Some of them can groove! Chad, Marshall, Josh and Taylor!

Our guest book was better than I hoped it would be. We got a Polaroid camera and had everyone take pictures, stick them in the book and sign it. It captures everyone's personalities and turned out perfect.

I seriously was looking forward to the dinner and cake for weeks! But by the time it all started, I just couldn't eat. So last night after everything was over, Eric and I ate beef in our room, opened presents, and ate pretzels.

This morning we ordered big, greasy breakfasts which we ate in their entirety followed by two HUGE pieces of our cake and more pretzels. I think I might be having a food baby. After cutting out carbs for 2 months, it is my turn to PIG out!

Congratulations Erin and Eric. We are so very happy for you! Eric, I knew you were the one the moment I met you!!!!

Laurel said...

If I'm blogging the day after my wedding... ;)

Nothing will ever be as good as "I Will Survive". Nothing. You were unbelievable and the fact that Eric played along makes him the best forever.

OH, and I'm with Marissa. Special place indeed...

Ah, many of these things were highlights for me as well, including Sammy, Roger, and Chad's dancing (those 3 have some MOVES), your impromptu performance (I wondered today on the plane ride home if maybe you HAD coreographed it... quite a show), your darling sobrinos, meeting EW and your family (most of them), hanging with your WONDERFUL friends, the very sweet toasts, gawking at your beautiful dress, and the fake boobs (ha!). I could go on and on. Wonderful day!!

absolutely the most perfect weekend ever! Your wedding was fantastic and you looked like a movie star (like Cate Blanchett and Audrey Hepburn, not like Zach Galafiniakas). Eric looked pretty gorgeous too!
