Day 7: Your dream wedding.

March 7, 2004

Well I'm already happily married so dreaming about a wedding now would be a waste. I thought my wedding was pretty perfect. I was married in a little chapel that was previously a nail salon and is now a nail salon again. It held 50 people max which I loved. I wanted it to stay small. As the wedding approached it grew into a small ceremony and a big reception at the Steilacoom Town Hall. Looking back I wish we had just done the whole thing in the town hall. Other than that I wouldn't have done anything different.

My mom and her friends worked their butts off to make it happen. They did all the food and decorations. I wasn't much help. Everything ran super smooth. My mother-in-law made my dress and the bridesmaid's dresses which was very special.
