On Thursday, March 26th, Mike and I packed up the car with all of the wedding stuff and Murphy and headed to Wilmington for the wedding weekend! After meeting much of our family down there, we unloaded the car, including Murphy into Mike's brother's condo. No, Murphy was not part of the wedding! Anyway, about 25 of us went to dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse called Hiro. It was a lot of fun! Then after dinner some of my cousins, Nicole, Mike's brother and friends all went bar hopping in downtown Wilmington. Admittedly, I had a little too much fun!
Friday morning, after having breakfast with my long lost cousin Jeff Jasper, Nicole
and I headed to the Airport to pick up Anna Margaret. Mike was playing golf with a group of about 5 or 6. We headed back to the hotel to meet Shannon and the girls, Michelle, and Claudette to go to get our nails done! I had never had fake nails before, but they looked really good! After our manicures and pedicures, we headed back to Shell Island to get some rest and get ready for the Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner. At 5p, we all met to have Rehearsal, halfway through the rehearsal it started raining. I was hoping that this wasn't a sign for the day to come. Anyway, we carried the rehearsal inside and then headed to the Rehearsal Dinner. Dinner was great as well as the company! All of the wedding party liked their gifts, atleast I think they liked them. After a long night before, we all decided to call it an early night and prepare for the Big Day!

, Anna Margaret and I woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast, making sure to eat because we didn't know what the day had in store for me. I have to say, when we woke up Saturday morning, it was beautiful outside, ok, maybe not beautiful, but the sun was in and out. I had an appointment to get hair done at noon, with my soon to be mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law, and my bridesmaid Michelle. It rained while we were getting our hair done and I was hoping that would be it for the day! Unfortunately I was wrong. We were getting showers and getting ready for the ceremony and it was just cloudy, I thought the rain would hold off. About 230p or 3p, the wedding coordinator called me to tell me it was raining (they were setting up chairs on the beach for the ceremony) and it didn't look like it was going to stop according to the sky and the radar. As disappointed as I was, I really wanted to have the ceremony on the beach, I made the decision to have the ceremony inside! After all, they say it's good luck to have it rain on your wedding day. Oh yeah, did I mention that I was a bridesmaid short too? My sister Shelley who lives in Colorado had gotten snowed in after mother nature had dumped INCHES of snow so that she couldn't fly out. So besides having to have the ceremony inside and being a sister and a bridesmaid short, I was ready to get the show on the road! The ceremony started shortly after 4p, and all of the festivities followed. After the ceremony, it did stop raining long enough so that we could get some pictures on the beach! After the reception, Mike had arranged for a Limo to pick us up and take us for a ride, after we got back we spent our first evening together as Husband and Wife.

Sunday, Mike and I woke up early, so we tried to go walk on the beach before
meeting family and friends for breakfast at 830a. As luck would have it, the walk was cut short due to rain, thunder and lightening, we took off running into the Resort. At 830a, we met family and friends for breakfast and then had to pack up cars to checkout. We, ok, maybe just me, were really sad that the wedding day had happened so quickly! Thanks to family and friends we got a lot of the moments on photo (if you have some pictures to send, I would REALLY appreciate it). About 1p, we were all packed up, got Murphy from Angelo's condo and were on our way to Greensboro to rest and repack for our honeymoon on Monday morning.
