[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 284122, member: 1233"] Oh, our wedding receptions was a BLAST!! husband and I both felt that the actual wedding was a very intimate occurrence, so we had just our families and best friends there. My dad's younger sis and bro drove out together (they live back in OH). My bff from childhood flew out with her fiance, and husband's parents and sister and nephew came. It was not terribly formal, I was over halfway through the pregnancy marathon and wore a dress my mother made. I prefer most anything to white, so it was pink and mint green with a pattern of tulips. It was also a shirt and skirt, not one piece. My mom used the companion floral print to make shorts for me for the reception. While we kept the actual ceremony small, we had a huge party at my parents' afterwards. I didn't even do a big fancy cake. I had 2 sheet cakes made by a lady who had taught me cake decorating and candy making when I was a teen. She retired, but came out of it just for me. One cake was white with lemon filling and the other was chocolate. the dog had a great time with my dog. Kids climbed all over them. One of our friends had a 3yo who REFUSED to even look at me. She had her sights set on husband for her husband. She DID tell me, in front of everyone, much to her mother's embarrassment, that I had stolen HER husband and I could only keep him a few years. Then I was to turn him over to her. She did graciously allow me to "train him up right" so he wouldn't give her as many problems. It was just too cute and funny. Almost as funny as husband's nephew finding a snake and running around threatening to put it on his mom. I got brownie points because I picked it up, LOL! I was definitely NOT a Bridezilla. My reaction to things was more "that would be nice" than it was to weighing anyone for anything. I didn't even have my bff buy a dress unless she wanted one. I wanted her to be comfortable and feel pretty - I didn't care what color she wore or anything. (She was a TOTAL bridezilla - there were only 10 more people at the wedding than there were in the wedding. The number of guests only outnumbered the 11 bridesmaids, 1 maid of honor and matching groomsmen by 10!! Her wedding had six HOURS of photo taking and cost her parents more than 2 years of college tuition!! Literally. More than 2 YEARS (not semesters or quarters) of full time college. Anyway, I am glad y'all think my wedding sounded like the fun it was! I even still have the piece of canvas my mom hemmed up to cover one of the tables. It was blank, no adornment. Instead of a sign-in book we had a container of sharpies for people to write on the tablecoth. I also used it for kids' birthday parties, etc... always with sharpies to add to the loving sentiments.

The Redneck Weekend is also a really funny show. [/QUOTE]
