Jennifer is
just the sweetest bride ever! I actually went to school with Jen and one of my
GJE girls was in the wedding and another was a guest, so this wedding was dear
to our hearts but with that said this was the one and only time I have ever had
a wedding where if something could go wrong it did! ...we can laugh now but it
was crazy the day of...
The wedding
was at Fort Gratiot Lighthouse in Port Huron, a gorgeous location. The ceremony
was supposed to take place on the water but a 70 mph storm decided to come!!!
So we had to move the ceremony under the tent.
But let's
back up....you can see in the picture below the tables were set for 8. I was
told the night before from the bride that she visited the site and the
caterers/rental company had everything set and ready to go... but unfortunately
the tables should have been 10 tops so after the ceremony we had to brave the
winds to get the chairs that were just about blowing away near the water, wipe
them down and make 10 tops. Normally not a problem but seeing how the guests
had to be under the tent because of the storm it made for a crowed
experiencing but EVERYONE got a seat and a place seating : )
As the
ceremony started....literally the groom just walked down the aisle...the Best
Man realized he forgot the rings at the hotel. Of course I went to get them but
this wasn't possible until after the ceremony since the groom was already down
the aisle. Thankfully I found some stand in rings from some fabulous
friends/guests and the ceremony went on.
After the
ceremony the caterer who came recommend from the venue was terrible. (See
above, first the tables were set wrong) but the food was beyond late. A quick
shuffle of the timeline and we were able to move the formal dances before
dinner to buy him time to finish cooking the food. Luckily things worked out
and we made it seem like that was the plan to begin with : )
But you
know what is great about it all...this picture right here! I'll be honest, shit
happens at every wedding, usually the bride/groom, families and friends just
never know about it. This is the extreme but at the end of the day these two
wonderful people said I DO and had a great time with their guests...plus
amazing fun memories. Like the bathroom trailer that was almost tipping over
from the winds, lol.
