Flashback Friday-- Our Wedding

Mr. Destructo will have been married four years come this September.  The time sure has flown by though.  We got married in my childhood Catholic church and had the reception in the local hall that evening.  I wanted a fall wedding and lucky for me that year the leaves had already begun to change.  It was a gorgeous day and a perfect temp.  I think it was high 70's or low 80's so we weren't all having heat strokes in our dresses.

It took me forever to find my wedding dress.  I kept waiting to have an "epiphany" and just know that was the perfect dress for me.  But alas, I am not a girly girl at all and really don't care of dresses so I ended up going with the dress I just kept going back to.  And I loved it (even though I lost a ton of weight due to stress and ended up having to wear two of those workout bands on my stomach to give me enough padding to be able to pull it off strapless.)  Then the straps broke while I was dancing during the reception and the things to trustle/ bustle/gather whatever the heck it was called??  my dress up didn't hold.  So I ended up walking around all night with one strap on and carrying my train.

But overall we had a blast.  We ended up throwing the bouquet to the let's get ready to rumble song and my sister caught it.  We also did a trick bouquet the first time that was like five little ones, then I threw the actual bouquet.  When it came time for Mr. Destructo to toss the garter, lo and behold my sister's boyfriend caught it.  They  married a year and a half later.  We danced to Cotton Eye Joe and that was a highlight of the night. 

And now here are some pics from my special day.
