My sister got married 6.30.12, remember I gave you a sneak peek
HERE. First I'm going to start with the story...the story leading up to the wedding....which was quite
interesting to say the least. Let me give you a recap.
The Friday before the wedding, I, my sister, Mom, and Ashley met at the reception venue for a final walk through. The event coordinator on-site walks into the room, and says she needs
to tell us something.
My heart instantly dropped. She began to explain, "Cortney, you cannot have your wedding here next weekend, the fire marshals came in yesterday and are shutting the building down."
Long pause.........
Cortney begins to say, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T HAVE MY WEDDING HERE NEXT WEEKEND???"
Then lots of tears begin to start, lots and lots of tears.
Ashley and I try to hold it together, and we politely ask the coordinator to give us a few minutes. I was panicking inside, but trying to hold it together for my sister. Where in the world were we going to find a place to hold 300 PEOPLE in less than a week????
So...after some more yelling, crying, etc. we began to search, and search, and search. You name it, we called it. Most people laughed at us on the phone, they thought we were kidding. Finally, after 4 hours of searching, we found an open venue. After going back and forth with the owner about money, as well as trying to get the new venue secured, we did it. I was determined to not let my sister down, there was no way her wedding was going to be ruined. Seriously, could there be a worse wedding nightmare?? Not that I can think of.
Ultimately, what mattered most was that Cortney and David got married, and began their lives together on this special day.
Part 1 includes pictures that I love, they are so stinking cute, and I couldn't be happier to have David a part of our family now:)
