What a good one! Merman and I were married in the rose garden at the Longfellow House outside of Boston. By the local sheriff. When the vows were done, he asked to be paid, so my dear sweet new husband whipped out his checkbook. His out-of-state checkbook. The sheriff said he didn't take Rebel checks so Merman had to panhandle a couple of bucks off every wedding guest!
In case you're wondering, our Yankee sheriff didn't want a Gawga check.

Yes...I've been trying to come up with a still picture because the video is priceless..., but I've yet to find anyone that captured the moment! It was definitely the bride's idea to release the balloons as an alternative to birdseed/rice/bubbles, etc...I helped carry it out, but only with the "blessings" of the balloon expert! We supplied her with a ribbon that she/we thought was "powerline proof????" NO warnings about it containing metalic particles that might cause fireballs as they crossed powerlines!!! Holy Cow :shock: !!! Once those 150 balloons got released over those lines....YIKES! Thankfully there were no major issues other than the power being knocked out at the college campus and the church...(which made for alot of creativity from the photographer since there were no more photos to be done back inside the church!!!!) BUT...
Remember J & N's (son #1) wedding day?????
March 2000...
We had a gorgeous early Spring...the daffodiles, tulips & forsythia were already in bloom...We had all the expectations of a "picture perfect" spring wedding day...
And woke up the morning of the wedding to 10 Inches of SNOW!!!!!
Sooooo, Lucky....even with all our plans and expectations....a wedding is very much a mirror of a marriage....it's more about the unexpected and how we respond....rather than our often unrealistic expectations!!!!
