I'm not a super romantic person, though the man I married is.
Which I guess is not such a bad thing quite frankly.
But with our 9 year anniversary coming up and so many loved ones preparing to tie the knot themselves it got me thinking about weddings.
Our wedding was extremely simple. Had a lot of Latin customs which I was tickled Nick wasn't bothered by.
Though we had a lot to discuss.....
I wanted to marry in a regular gown, Nick insisted I wear a wedding dress.
I wanted to to go to City hall, He wanted a wedding in a church.
His exact words...."I want us to marry in God's house, you deserve that, we deserve that."
UGH! How could I say NO to the big blue eyes telling me such things?
I'm a sucker.......So we compromised.
But nothing can prepare me for the weddings I've attended.
When it comes to weddings it's all the same is it not?
Weddings in Vegas, Romantic themes, Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers! (Mind you I had NO Flowers at my wedding.) Sure a wedding should be romantic but it's all been done and it's quite honestly boring.
BUT these are my all time favorite, creative, sweet weddings.
Sadly they are only but two I attended one I couldn't but I've seen the family photos and it was pretty cute!
#3--My God Brother Gabriel, we couldn't attend but I wish I had!
They had a country themed wedding outside at his grandparents ranch. They had bails of hay for pews draped in cloth. They had what I heard was delicious home made wine the brides family made. I was told the food was delicious and the wedding was all around looked super cute!
#2---Sara, Rob's sister (Rob being my dearest friend) Her wedding was beautiful. But the Reception was my fave!
They had a man with props come in and do silly dances with guests it was fantastic to watch.
Their guest gifts was a table set up with all kinds of chocolates! Guests were given a little box and allowed to fill it with yumminess.
Then the wedding cake! That cake was too cute for words. The groom loves video games so their cake was Mario Bros. themed. When they cut the cake, the Mario Brothers game song played....I LOVED IT!!

And my all time favorite NON-Cliche wedding
#1----Karen and Davids. (Sadly I don't have any pics)
I LOVE LOVE LOVED her wedding dress. I was almost jealous when we visited her apartment and she pulled it out of the closet for me to see. Beautiful knee length strapless dress, cream and black....simple...beautiful.
Their wedding cake Super Super Simple! Ugh I drove all over looking for cakes! Why didn't I think of what Karen did?!
And what made me giggle in delight was the song that played when they entered the reception hall as husband and wife.
Billy Idol's "White wedding"
I was so tickled with their creativity.
Awesome guys! Super awesome.

Oh Liza your so sweet. It was simple, cause I am not a planner much less a party planner. I wish i could have gone to yours! Do you have a video from yours?
The simplicity is what made it so special...so different, I loved it.
