a walk down memory lane...

1. Where/How did you meet? Nathan and I met at College in '98 - but we didn't hang out at all. We had different friends, but similar acquaintances.

9. What kind of cake did you serve? We actually had a fake cake! It was just a decoration at my reception b/c Nathan is allergic to sugar. So the cake that we actually cut and fed each other was a little carrot cake that nate's mom made for him.

We had Hot Hors D'oeuvres, vegetable and fruit trays, swans made out of cantaloupe and hollowed out to serve the dip. cheese, crackers, chicken fingers... we had a kids table with heart shaped pb&J sandwiches, pretzels, mms, goldfish etc...a punch fountain and a coffee and tea bar.

13. Are you still friends with them all? most of them...atleast touch base a few times a year. We all live so far away from each other - so there's no one in the area that we are ab;e to hang out with.

14. Did your spouse cry during the ceremony? No - i don't think so anyway.

15. Most special moment of your wedding day? Having my grandpa walk me down the aisle.

16. Any funny moments? - when we exchanged rings and i had to put the ring on his finger and he had written in pen on his ring finger an "R" as a reminder of what finger i was supposed to put it on! :)

Also, at our rehearsal, when we were practising the unity candle, Pastor Paul was giving instructions and (we had our backs to the audience) and nathan was grabbing my butt in front of my pastor, my MOM, his family - everyone!!! He just kept grabbing and grabbing me. We were mic'd and i didn't want to say outloud "stop grabbing my hindparts..." and then (i think) my mom or someone yelled "one more night nathan - relax son!" I was pretty embarrassed - but it was VERY funny!!
