The words simple and plain have never been in my vocabulary before and I certainly wasn’t about to add them in now. I bought the most gorgeous wedding gown I could find with a long flowing veil and tiara. All of my bridesmaids, maid of honor and even my flower girl had long satiny dresses and tiaras. The bouquets were perfect too, and my bouquet was made up of red and white roses, which are my favorite. The groomsmen looked so sophisticated and handsome as they escorted the bridesmaids down the aisle. Our little ring boy looked like a miniature groom as he carried the rings on his pillow and walked so carefully as if he were carrying the crown jewels in his hands. The best man looked very sharp too, but of course, the best looking of them all was my adorable husband to be.

   The wedding was wonderful and filled with a lot of teary eyes, including mine, as we said our vows to each other. After the priest pronounced us husband and wife, and we started to walk back down the aisle, my little flower girl got a little confused and jumped up in front of us and began throwing what was left of the silk rose petals onto the aisle. We let her go, no one had the heart to tell her she was done with her part in the ceremony. Actually we all got a big kick out of it, and it made her feel so special.

   My reception tables looked so fantastic, that even I was surprised at the gorgeous décor. Along with our wedding cake were our crystal champagne toasting flutes, and a very special silver cake serving set. The centerpieces were beautiful crystal bubble bowls with a gorgeous bouquet in each one. There were bottles of champagne for all the guests and of course they each had their own champagne toasting flute to raise to the bride and groom. At each place setting were place cards in silver place card holders and decorative little boxes that held a thank you gift for our friends and family that chose to share this very important occasion with us. In each one of those favor boxes were,( you guessed it ) elegant crystal champagne favors. I just have no control. But everyone liked their thank you gifts and we all had a fantastic time dancing, laughing and just enjoying each others company.

   After the bouquet and garter toss it was getting time for me and my brand new husband to head out for our honeymoon. We spent a whole week in one of the places I’ve always wanted to visit, Athens Greece. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Now we’re back home, and I’ve already started saving money for our second honeymoon. This time we are going to Spain. I love being married.
