25 Random Facts about Our Wedding

1. I really wanted to get married on December 13th, because December is my favorite month of the year and 13 is my favorite number, but a lot of people had to travel for our wedding and where not going to be able to make it so close to the holiday (we ended up with Dec 2nd).
2. I hardly knew anything about the decoration and all the planning going on, my mother made everything for me… and I LOVED IT… a lot of people said I was weird because of that but I really hate that kind of stuff and she is soooo good at it! So every time she would ask me something I would say YOU pick it!
3. My mother in law accidentally hit my eye with a broom the day before my wedding; lucky for me it didn’t turn black and no scar!
4. Bayohán had fever the morning of our wedding, everyone though he was nervous, but he actually was sick in our honeymoon too!
5. Our photographer was crying in the ceremony (I though he was just being corny) and had to leave after he took the important pictures because his brother got killed and they called him… he did leave his assistants behind to take the rest of the pics and videos.
6. I lost 60 pounds for my wedding. I needed to loose weight at that time and that was my inspiration.

7. We both ate and dance a lot that day, I’ve always heard about people not doing this things, so we decided “hey! is a once in a lifetime thing and we are going to ENJOY it”… WE DID!
8. I designed my cake, it was a camouflage (fake cake) the real thing was in the back; here in DR a lot of people are doing that, a fake cake you don’t cut that is amazingly cute and the real thing is cut in the back and taken out when it is cake time ;)
9. We had aprox. 150 guests.
10. I only have one sister and she couldn’t come because she lives in Australia.
11. Our first song/dance was “Tu” (You in English) from Juan Luis Guerra (a famous artist here in DR).
12. I had something old (the fluffy thing you put under your dress skirt), something new (dress, earrings, crown and almost everything), something borrowed (same as the old) and something blue (my underwear :p).
13. The husband of the lady doing my dress died 3 days before my wedding and the dress was not finished… she finished it anyways and I will always be thankful to her for that!
14. We had cute little angels as souvenirs.
15. At the church we gave out some cute little sticks with bells on the top, so people will shake them during the ceremony.
16. Bayohán didn’t want the food to be served… he kept saying if we do people will leave after… so it was a late dinner.
17. One of my best friends was my maid of honor, plus my nephew and niece where flower girl and ring boy and that was it, I didn’t wanted to coordinate dresses for a lot of girls :p
18. My grandfather entered with me in the church, but my step dad gave me away.
19. At the beginning of the ceremony at church the priest said the wrong names, and his secretary had to run to get the correct paper with OUR names in the office.
20. It rained in the morning that day but the night (our wedding was at night) was beautiful!
21. Our decoration was a beautiful “Fall Theme”.
22. One of my best friend broke her leg that day, so she was in a wheel chair; she jokes that she did it for good luck ;p
23. I never saw my maid of honor, flower girl dresses or the ring boy clothes until the wedding :o I just trusted them to do it right.
24. My mother wanted me to rest that day as she was running the last errands for the wedding, I said NO WAY if I stay home I will be too anxious so I just went with her, everyone we saw that day kept saying: what are you doing here? You should be relaxing at home.
25. It was REALLY the happiest day of my life!
