More decorations and a glimpse of our food set up at the beginning then to our cakes cutting which was so fun. I was bummed out at first since I had previously (twice) requested a specific song to play during it but instead a song I didn’t even like was playing. By not like I mean I actually couldn’t stand the song. I am really picky about music, I literally only like a song if I like it’s lyrics, other then that I don’t like music too much I got that from my dad. I was asked to rush picking out my music since it was a last minute thing we also had to pay extra since it was last minute. And they still only played what was requested for the ceremony (I had handwritten instructions and which songs) I guess it could be our fault for not dealing with the dj Ourselves, a family member was practically our wedding planner and she talked to him I never said a word to him and part of me wonders if she even gave him the songs or if she chose what she thought should play. But, I told myself there’s nothing I can do about it and to enjoy the day and I did. (See me smiling?? Yep). After the cake cutting I changed into something comfy and casual and ate. My husband, my niece and I sat at a small round table and drank sparkling grape juice (we don’t drink) I loved how grown up my niece was trying to act for me, she was my maid of honor and really did everything she could to help. She cried so much before walking out. It was just me and her waiting on the music to play and for my dad to come get me and she just started balling, telling me she wants to do it but doesn’t want everyone looking at her, which I understood completely and I held her and I told her that she is beautiful, and that I need my maid of honor up there with me because I’m nervous and feel like crying too, I told her I need her help to stay calm. This was true too, but I mostly said it because she has a very tender heart and I know what makes her brave, she loves to help people and I knew by asking her to help me she would put me first and by doing that, she wouldn’t be as nervous because she would be focusing on me. And she did great. Yes she cried the whole time but it was silent and soft and so sweet, and my flower girl (other niece) did the same. They were emotional because of the music and they see me as their big sis, they have been telling me for years now that they don’t want me to go away and get married lol. Natalie (moh) has even been so jealous since the wedding, when we go over, she’s either really sassy to him, or sassy/rude to me, but I know why and I understand. She yelled at me that all I do is “sit with my little boyfriend and leave her at the bottom “, and I reminded her of a million times when I’ve tried to spend time with her and she’s too mad at me to do it. She’s very smart for her age (9) and she told me she knows, and I get her and her sister to come play uno at the picnic table with me and my husband, and we laughed and played for like 2 hours. And we’ve made uno & bingo a regular thing to play with them and they love it. But enough about that.. got carried away.
The cake was 3 tier, the top was red velvet, the middle was strawberry (my fav) and the bottom was cream cheese. The red velvet was gone by the end of the day.
