1. Forgot to take to church on Saturday: deodorant (mom ran home to get it), roses for the families (nephew Drew brought it), speech for the ceremony (whoops, forgotten completely), Winnie the Pooh Book (niece Chrissy brought it).

2. Forgot to affix veil to head, resulting in veil falling off several times throughout the ceremony and reception.

3. Somehow the train would not affix to the dress properly (although there didn't seem to be any problem at the alteration place!), so mom sewed it to my dress 5 minutes before I was walking down the aisle.

4. I didn't realize until it was time to share my thoughts that I left them on the kitchen table, so I winged it...I have NO idea what I said.

5. When the boys were asked to present the rings, I realized that I hadn't explained to them to take them OUT of the ring boxes. Finchie had trouble getting the ring box out of his pocket because Eldest had rammed it in deeply...so Finchie gave it one great big tug and the ring box flew through the air in kind of slow motion...the congregation all simultaneously craned their necks in unison like in a tennis match as it flipped and arched through the air. Definitely got the biggest laugh of the day!

5. When we got to the airport, MOTH handed our tickets to the porter who checked them against our photo I.D's. He asked, "Do you have your marriage license?" MOTH went white when he realized he got the tickets with my married name, but my photo I.D. still had my maiden name. It got fixed, but the airport was not very cordial about it.

6. When we went to board the ship, we realized our boarding passes had been lifted, along with our certified birth certificates AND the passes had been filled out completely as instructed, so our credit card number and expiration date were written out. We DID get on board, obviously, but we had to cancel the card, and it took my wonderful mother to come to our rescue...but the Cruise line didn't get it done until Thursday, after we left Mexico.

7. Despite the fact that we couldn't buy as many souvenirs as planned in Mexico, we had too many things to fit into our luggage, so we had to buy additional baggage.

8. I burned my nipples.

9. It rained every time we had a chance to on shore into Mexico.

10. I burned my face into a nice raccoon-eye fashion (you know, tan lines around my sun glasses), I have second degree burns on my calves and upper...WAY upper thighs and underarms. Yes. I burned my underarms.

11. We had a stop over at the airport in Dallas. Somehow, we got confused and got booked on an earlier flight that originally planned. However, the agent didn't coordinate our flight with that of our luggage. So, we arrived at O'Hare almost 2 hours before our baggage.

12. When we got to the airport, we realized that the phone number and pick-up number for the limo was...IN OUR LUGGAGE! When it finally arrived, we found it impossible to find (ok, YOU try to find a 2x2 square inch scrap of paper inside any one of 6 large packed-solid suitcases. (I remembered the company and they figured out who we were..I mean how many pickups do you think they had at 2:00am?)
