5 Funny Things That Happened During & After Our Wedding Ceremony

The Hubby Coach and I will celebrate our 13th Wedding Anniversary in a couple of months!  I am super excited because I am more in love with him now than ever.

We were married on June 9th, 2012, in Great Lakes Garden in Niagara Falls State Park (Niagara Falls, NY). I thought I would share a few funny things that happened on our special day to commemorate the date.

Here are five funny things that happened during and after our wedding ceremony….

  1. Our brother-in-law, who married us, made me say my vows twice. I don’t know why, but he did! 
  2. I forgot to put Oji’s ring on his finger and had to be prompted to.
  3. My veil got stuck to the cobblestones of the garden where our ceremony was held. As I walked down the aisle, I had to give it a slight tug. 
  4. I had so much going on under my dress that I didn’t know I had lost one of my thigh highs while we were taking our photos. My girls ended up giving them to Oji on the down low. 
  5. On the receiving line, I did say (into the camera), “I’m married now!” This is the famous line from the movie The Color Purple.
