The Blessed Union

To Say that my wedding was unconventional is an understatement to say the least but let me break it down for you..... We had since the beginning of the relationship five years prior planned a nautical themed wedding on the anniversary of the day we met.... That's pretty much where the planning stage ended... The wife had done some stuff but all that never really panned out...The month or so before my darling soon to be mother in law and lil big brother in law assembled the message in a bottle invites (hey now we're getting somewhere)...so the week of everyone comes to the blessed state of Florida for the annual family vacation (a little late in the year but thanks for the change of date).... I wrote the vow of all vows like the week before sitting by the pool with a beer, some smokes, a pen, and some paper (sounds romantic right)...That is pretty much all the preplanning besides getting the wedding license taken care of ON TIME ( little back story we had planned to get married the year before but the day we went to get the license it was veterans day and ummm the courthouse was closed no license to wedding)....so now that peeps have been invited and all the right folks(minus an officiant) are in place let's get hitched....

Speed ahead to the week of the nuptuals....No cake, no officiant, no best man, no problem.....The wife had her dress I still had no outfit but whatever...when we went to walmart to get the cake I got a shirt to go with my shorts (SCORE) ....Note DO NOT GO TO WALMART to get your wedding cake seems like you don't have to have any type of skill in penmanship to be a cake decorator there.... so now I have an outfit but the cake is all afuck....we won't let Rora see it because it's THAT BAD...Thank the lord god baby jesus in his tiny little manger that there was someone who could make it work.... Still no officiant though....The night before though was my soon to be Brother In Laws 21st bday though so why not ask him to be my best man (good idea wifey SCORE)...So that takes care of the last few hours before everyone shows up... Still no officiant.... So who could we get to be the master of ceremonies at our wedding I know lets ask (make) Lunchbox do it....So he gets there and the wife pulls him to the computer to get ordained ...... Ok now we're getting somewhere.... say who's going to capture all this on film you ask.... uhhhhhhhh..... Thank Jesus in a tuxedo tee shirt that we have a friend in the business both Mike and Mark over at http://mathewsbros.com/ are friends and have fun taking pictures because mike showed up with his new fancy schmancy camera to try it out (if planning a wedding or other event in Florida or elsewhere if you can give them a shout) (GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL)......

The vows were self done as I have said...Rora went with the traditional rout with quotes and all that goodness mine was a lot like this done with a smile and meant to get the same effect....If I am ever without something to blog about maybe I will pull them out and type them up for all to see....
