So I don't think I can say the wedding went off without a hitch. Chris' niece single handedly ruined the one part of the ceremony that I was most looking forward to. She showed up just in time to even see the wedding, and was supposed to sing. First of all, she didn't think she could sing the song that was picked out, so I think she was mentally against it. The song was "I Need You" By LeAnn Rimes. Not a hard song. She couldn't get the microphone to work (this is because she didn't test it) and ended up blowing the whole thing. It took everything I had to not lunge and strangle her. Seriously.
Then Chris' mom apparently got a phone call on her cell !?!?!?!? WTF?! She kept saying "someone answer the phone!" (She has Alzheimer's, so not sure if the phone was in her head or in reality)
Then the version of the Lord's Prayer in the Church of Christ is not the same as the Catholic version, which I have to tell you, 90% of the congregation that day was. It sort of petered out in the middle and ended up everyone mumbling some sort of ending.
The reception was fine...except the DJ was a big piece of shit that had no brain. The guy I dealt with at the DJ place said "don't worry, everything will be taken care of...." NOT! Huge Uuuuughhh! Chris' son decided to pout the entire time because he wasn't the center of attention, but you know, I didn't really care about that.

Everything else was beautiful and wonderful. :) I hope everyone that went had a good time. I know I did! I don't ever plan on doing it again, so I think we did it in style!
