I'm (we're) married!!! (Part 3)

No, Niesha had no idea I was going to dip her.




Sunday morning finally arrived. The big day! The day we had been planning for 7 months. The day we had been stressed about every day for 6 months and 29 days. But besides starting about 30 minutes late, the day was a big success (the mother of the bride managed to get lost on the way to the wedding).
We had prayed for months that it wouldn't rain since Niesha from day one had wanted an outdoor ceremony. We weren't able to have the ceremony on the beach like she had originally wanted to so I desperately wanted the weather to cooperate. We had spent hours and hours searching for an outdoor location and if it rained all that would be for nothing. Well, there was not a cloud in the sky the whole morning. But little did we know we should have been praying for warmth. March 18, 2007 happened to be a record day, record as in the coldest day for March 18th in Orlando's history. The morning low was apparently 42 F, or 6 C and it took a while to warm up. The wedding was at 11:00 am so Niesha and the poor girls shivered through the entire ceremony standing in the shade with the wind blowing past us.
But it was beautiful. And although the place was decorated magnificently everything paled in comparison to my stunning bride over the next four hours.
As many people said, the day was a blur. But I remember laughing a lot. I remember thinking how awesome all the toasts were. My bestman, the maid of honor, my dad, and Niesha's mom all did an incredible job and I wish we had somehow recorded every word that was said. The cake looked amazing. The stories that were told were great memories. It truly was a very special day and we can't thank everyone enough for all their help in making March 18th 2007 one of the greatest days of our life!
