What was the one thing that you were upset about but got over real quick on your wedding day -(Because we had no other choice)?
1. For us it was the car - It kept breaking down, stalling and backfireing the entire way. When we pulled up to the front of the Chateau Briand, our photographer & his assistant were laughing so hard, it was like Chevy Chases Christmas Vacation Movie, yes that bad. The 1933 Packard we were in was back firing and was blowing heavy white smoke everywhere that you couldnt even see us get out of the car. We were laughing so hard I couldnt even breath, wish he would of gotten a photo of that, then we heard a noise, the car actually blew a head gasket and leaked anti freezed all over the front of Chateau Briand, Now mind you we had no air conditioning due to this happening, so I was not a happy camper when I first got in the car considering my hair went flat & it was so humid and hot outside, but the sun was shining on us. . We decided to go with the flow and just laugh our butts off about it, hey its was our wedding day... What else could we do, then we went in for portraits and by the time we had come out about an hour later we had a new car waiting for us, not what we wanted, but a car none the less to get us to the wedding with airconditioning. ..... ![]()

& We decided not to let it ruin our wedding, as long as the car got us to the church on time, we were thrilled.
P.S. It backfired all the way from the Melville Marriott to Carle Place and kept stalling in the middle of the LIE and on Old Country Road,. so many people in there cars were laughing there Butttt's of off![]()

2. ***Our cake was the biggest dissappointment of the night, not anything like we ordered, talk about being devestated, the look we both had when the chateau briand showed it to us was horrific, I dont think we will ever forget that terrible feeling, something that we were so looking forward to having, we paid for a custom cake and expected what we ordered, what we go was something totally different, but what can you do, the wedding must go on......right so we took a deep breath and moved forward past it..................![]()

3. Our Beautiful unique unity candle, it almost burned down our wedding table. Im just assuming that when it was transported from the church to the reception hall and placed on our table as we wanted, someone must of emptied out the liquid wax for transportation reasons but then forgot to re-add it, so at one point I came off the dance floor and was standing in front of my table with some friends I said I smell something burning,they did too, we didnt know what it was, I went to get someone who worked there to tell them and what did I see, my unity candle on fire, I mean a big flame with melted wax all over and it smelled really bad, the unity candle was more then 3/4 melted with wax melted all over the place, the flame was so big it couldnt get blown out by only me, so I grabbed whomever was by me & said blow, nothing got destroyed other then my expensive candle which was to last forever and was given to be by someone special for our engagement. But again it happended so quick, that nobody else noticed.![]()
