... And the doors slowly opened... and there it was... my wedding... staring back at me... people smiling, crying, whispering, gasping, cameras flashing, bright, really bright lights and me walking, crawling ever so slowly... taking in every moment...and scanning... scanning looking for....my GROOM!!! Once my eyes met his at the other end of the aisle... the rest of the world fell away completely... there was nothing else. No one else but me and him. My Groom... waiting for his bride at the end of aisle.... and I smiled.... I smiled all the way down the aisle.

I am absolutely loving your review. This particular part almost brought tears to my eyes. What a great description of your whole experience....congratulations on such a wonderful day and wonderful marriage!!!

Re: My OCTOBER 9 SandCastle WEDDING REVIEW! Really Long...with advice!

Yay! Your wedding sounded lovely! We had to say our vows in their entirety at the rehearsal too. She warned us of that though. I am glad we did, b/c at the rehearsal I was so nervous, but it made it easier for the real thing.

Now. . .your review was great and all, but but how bout some pictures?

Nope, we're never going to leave you be. . .

Re: My OCTOBER 9 SandCastle WEDDING REVIEW! Really Long...with advice!

Congratluations! And thank you for one of/if not the best review on LIW. All reviews should be this complete. You've set an example we should all follow, because instead of just getting the news about the vendors, we actually got to step into your day from moment to moment. Later on, if someone justs wants to read about one vendor, they can.

Thank you! Thank you! I can't wait to see your pictures!
