2. April 21, 2007
3. A halter mermaid style. It was awesome.
4. Pool Blue.
5. We had a reception the following month in Michigan. Our cake was chocolate with vanilla filling and vanilla with raspberry filling. It was very yummy. The outside was covered with the pool blue fondant and there were waves piped on the side with a huge white chocolate shell on top.
6. I had one of my aunts embroid a swatch of fabric with my first name and wedding date. I sewed it in the inside of my dress on the bottom. I'm hoping to pass along the dress and have my daughter or DIL do the same thing.

(= The cake topper was two little lawn chairs Barbie suntan lotion and sunglasses and brown sugar sand.
6. There were water spouts (tornados) over the ocean in the morning when we woke up. Thankfully moving off shore and not on. I had two friends miss the wedding because of flight issues the day before. The wedding was at 10 am, noon reception, and swimming in the ocean by 2. It was awesome!

3. Style of dress? Strapless with beading along top, gathers and small beading on bottom half.
4. Colors? Black. My gals came from four states and another country. I just told them to find a black dress with a little bling and go with it. It worked out great.
5. Cake? White buttercream icing with pink accents. Bottom layer was Italian cream with raspberry mousse filling, middle layer was raspberry liquor, the top was chocolate liquor with the raspberry mousse filling. I couldn't choose just one kind.
6. We had our reception at the large occassion room at Sneaky Pete's Marina. We were supposed to leave the wedding by boat, but it had rained so much that spring that when my brother went the day before the wedding to make sure we had three boat slips reserved, he discovered that the ramp to the docks was now under water. It hadn't been just three days previously. So, the afternoon before the wedding, I was scrambling to find a limo for a Saturday night. Ended up finding a classic Daimler that worked out great.

6. Our wedding was somewhat different, but I still wouldn't change a thing. We went very fall, decorated all the tables with red and green apples and pumpkins. We sent them home with all the guests. My family did the reception food ourselves, we all got together with the church ladies and cooked, it was fun. We had homemade dinner rolls, meats, cheeses and salads. We also had deviled eggs. We made 25 dozen deviled eggs, my mom still refuses to make them anymore. We ran out of them before the end of the line though.

6. Fill in the blank....add another thing about your wedding: I am so glad that my grandmother was there. She gave me a small gift the morning of our wedding - they were little porcelain elves that my grandpa bought for her in India when he was stationed there during WWII. She wrapped them in TP and put them in a styrofoam take out box, because she wanted to wrap them herself and that was all the hotel could find for her. I love them and when I see them, I think about how sweet it was that she gave me those as a wedding gift.
