So those of you who haven't heard me already say this, our wedding day was perfect, and those of you who have heard me say it like a hundred times... I'm sorry lol. But it was, and I have to give credit for the perfect centerpiece of the wedding to my husband.
Over the past year of planning this wedding we had to chose so many differnt things to try and make this one day the most perfect day for the both of us. So one thing we wanted was an archway to stand under for our marriage ceremony. So we found one that was perfect, it had character, it was big enough for Chris and I and the pastor to fit under, and it even had these cool little benches attached to it. As soon as Chris took me to look at it I was in love. It was at this little place that sold fencing and obviously differnt kinds of archways. I think it was around $550 and we figured that we could save up use it for the wedding, leave it with Chris' mom in her yard, then we when we moved back we would be able to have it at our own house. We thought that would be a neat memory to have in our yard. But by the time the wedding came we really didn't have the money for it. I was pretty disappointed, but I wasn't going to let that ruin our wedding day so I put it behind me and decided to be happy with what we had. So the night before the wedding at the rehersal I drove up to the house and standing there in the front yard was my perfect archway that I had honestly forgotten about. It was the perfect surprise. I loved it and was so excited to see it, but of course I immediately blurted out "what? I thought we didn't have the money for this!" Then Chris reassued me that he didn't pay the full price and that he talked the owner into letting us rent it from him. So Chris and Matt went and picked it up for the wedding then took it back on Monday. Chris amazingly got the guy to let him rent it for $150!! What a deal!! The archway turned out to be the vocal point of the ceremony of course and also of the pictures.
