Tricia & Michael's wedding was one to remember! It was touching, beautiful, and had a fun assortment of little and not so little glitches. Beautiful Moment #1) Mom, Teri, Tricia, Amber, Abby, & myself spent a fun day relaxing, eating, listening to music, & getting primped at the Arizona Inn, where the ceremony and reception were held. Glitch #1) Tracy's hair + hairstylist do not mix! Luckily there was enough time for a "redo". Beautiful Moment #2) Tricia & Michael had an outdoor ceremony planned, and we all woke up to a sunshiney day. Glitch #2) It rains! Then it stops! Then it rains again! Then it stops! It rained off and on to the last minute, and then decided to stop right on time for the ceremony, and began pouring 20 minutes after the ceremony ended. Luckily the reception was indoors. Beautiful Moment #3) The photographer was the same photographer from Tracy & James's wedding, and he is amazing! He got lots of great outdoor shots between rain showers. Then the flowers arrived, which leads us to...Glitch #3) A look of big disappointment registered on Tricia's face when she saw all the bouquets. None of them looked the way she ordered them. So Sarah and I went to the reception area to see how that was coming along, where we found a grumpy florist who was setting up the room with the wrong color flowers & had misspelled names on the place cards. Sarah & I helped take away all the wrong color flowers, but grumpy florist stormed off and left the hotel. Beautiful Moment #4) The look on Tricia's face was one of complete happiness and love during the ceremony, as was Michael's. Tricia was stunningly beautiful. The Minister asked them to kiss, and pronounced them man & wife. Glitch #4) Oops!!! The Minister forgot the whole part about exchanging rings!!! We had to remind him, so the ceremony had a "Part II".
The rest of the night, luckily, had no more glitches. The night was topped off with all the guests going outside and making a sparkler tunnel which the happy couple ran through.
