Friday Flashback: Our Christmas Wedding

BEWARE: Cheesy post ahead!

Tomorrow is our 5 year wedding anniversary, so I thought today's Flashback Friday post would be good as a WEDDING post! I love weddings. I wish I could have about 30 of them. Will and I actually had two wedding, two months apart from each other because immigration laws bunked up the legalities of our first ceremony... but our wedding on December 19th, 2004 will always be one of the absolute BEST days of my life (preceded by the night Will and I met at the airport in Ireland).

With Will and I, it was pretty much love at first sight. I know, I know.... total cliche and hopelessly romantic in a made-for-TV-movie kinda way... but its true. I was on the escalator when I saw him sitting in one of the waiting areas at the Dublin airport and I was like, "Whoooo! Lets go sit in the empty seat next to the cute guy!"

So I did and Will and I ended up talking for 10 hours straight (our flights were early the next morning and all the hotels and hostels were booked). He confessed later that he said to his mom as soon as he arrived back home, "I just met the one."

I know. Awwwwww, right? Totally made-for-TV movie. So anyway, here are few photos from our wedding.


I had to walk down these stairs in my dress and heels. How I didn't fall to my death, I have no idea. But isn't the staircase pretty?

My best friend from high school and maid of honor, Jenni, helping me get ready!

My wedding party!

My adorable little flower girl!

This is my favorite of all my wedding photos... the moment just before my rugby-playing bridesmaid (and best roommate ever) Jean plowed into my tiny little flower girls, on a mission to catch the bouquet.

And then... um... I hesitate to post this... but this is our wedding video. The ONE AND ONLY wedding video. Our wedding is featured a grand total of 20 seconds of it.

DISCLAIMER:

Basically, this is what you get when your drunk Welsh friend offers to make you a wedding video. It features drunk Will in Wales before he flew out for the wedding, Will and his two friends, Keryn and Dean and their drunken day trip to San Francisco, and ... a lot of British drunkards being drunk. I don't know how to describe it any other way.

Just FYI, our wedding/getting ready for the wedding begins about 2 and a half minutes into it, when all the groomsmen are rapping. Yeah. I may just have the most unusual wedding video on the planet. I kind of love it, though. Thanks, Deano!

So anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, WILL!
