wedding pt. 4: pre-ceremony.

Well it wasn't rainy, but it wasn't exactly sunny either. So we took off on our golf carts and rode around the course to find some good spot to get some wedding party pictures. It was great and we had a lot of fun as you can probably tell by some of the pics below. At that point I could tell Chris was getting just a little bit nervous about things. I was pretty calm because the most of the hard parts (the decorating, getting ready, etc.) were done. 

Then he finally opened up and said what was making him the most nervous: talking in front of all those people. Which happened to be the thing I was nervous about most too because I have always had such terrible stage fright. Our original plan for the ceremony included personalized vows which we were supposed to write ourselves about the other person. Well with both of us being pretty big procrastinators not to mention how busy we were the couple weeks before I had an idea of what I wanted to say and but had finally just written them down the night before. At first I thought well that's a bummer, that's the one thing that will probably make me and everyone else teary eyed. But then I thought well that would take a lot of pressure and stress off of the ceremony so maybe it's not the worst idea.

The other thing I thought of immediately was wow, he forgot to write them. So I looked at him and said fine, let's exchange them now then. So we took a detour and lost everyone else for a bit and told our vows to each other. Which will be kept between just us, exactly how they should be :)

Right after, it started to rain.
