My husband and I were married a year ago in March. We got engaged over Christmas after finding out that he would be moving to Japan. The week before the wedding, both of us were starting to get really nervous because he was still stuck in TX awaiting orders before he could come home. He got home 4 days before the wedding and we still had to get the marriage license and pick up his ring. It didn't fit. Luckily, they were able to resize it in time. The unseasonably nice weather we had been having the previous two weeks fizzled out two days before the ceremony and it snowed. The limo never showed up at my house to pick me up, and on the way to the reception it started raining. The parking lot ended up muddy with lots of puddles. In spite of all the crazy things that didn't go as planned, we had a great time. I would have thought I was drunk, except that we never stopped long enough to take advantage of the open bar! Because of the short notice, there were quite a few friends and family members who didn't make it, but it was really important to us to have as many of them there as possible instead of doing a JOP quickie ceremony. We were married in the church I was baptized and confirmed in and the Pastor who had performed both of those previous ceremonies for me was still there to be present at the wedding and reception. We spent two nights at a Bed & Breakfast in VT for our honeymoon before rushing around the next week and a half to get paperwork and stuff taken care of before my husband left for Japan.
