So for the toast, we had my maid of honor and best man (DH's twin) do it. Now maid of honor dated DH just for a little while but DH hates to be reminded of it. And so I strictly told her not to put anything about that in the speech. I think she was so worried about embarassing me or upsetting me, that her speech was really short and not at all like her. Now the best man's speech! He started off by saying he had some notes "pulled out a roll of toilet paper" and then said oops, that was his grocery list. He talked about how he was so glad to get a new sister yada yada. And how growing up everyone would ask him and DH if they could feel what the other is feeling but they never did. Until now. He said he felt something weird on his leg. Then he looked down and pulled up a plastic ball and chain. It was so funny!
Then it was time for the cake cutting. DH was very good about not smearing on my face...and I only put a dot of frosting on his nose

My dad is a smoker. Boo! And he missed our cake cutting! We had just made the first cut when my mom yelled out "Wait! Your dad is missing!" Well, we couldn't just stop. I felt so bad that he had missed it.
DH is a big Journey fan so they played lots of their songs. Here's us dancing to "Don't Step Believin"
After this, my matron of honor and I went back into my dressing room because my underskirts were killing me. We had tied them really tight because they wouldn't stay off. Well, we couldn't get the double knot out so my matron of honor was using her teeth to get the knot out, which was by my hip, and my skirt was pretty much over my head. And DH's mom walked in. Oops! She ended up having to help us!
After this, we did the anniversary dance where the DJ calls out for all married couples to come to the dance floor, then couples married a day step out, then a month, then a year, then so on. My grandparents SHOULD have won, but apparently they left. They didn't even say goodbye! We used Faithfully by Journey because that is "our song". It didn't really work as a first dance so that's why we didn't use it.
Then we had the garter toss. DH used "Lovin Touchin Squeezin" by Journey. I had to remind him that I took my underskirts off, so he had to be cafeful because I only had a couple of layers left and didn't want to show everybody everything

I also had a surprise garter. He knew I had two Gator garters..one to toss and one to keep. But as a surprise, I had a Denver Bronco one that he took off to throw. He had a joke where had all these large Gator granny panties up his sleeve and when he went under my skirt, he threw these out.
Two of my cousins (they're brothers) elbowed each other to get to the garter.
I did my bouquet toss to "All the Single Ladies" by Beyonce. I always told DH that was my song because he wouldn't propose. So after we got engaged, I told him it wasn't my theme song anymore. I had to yell at two of my bridesmaids to come catch the bouquet..they wouldn't get up!
My brother's girlfriend caught the bouquet and then my cousin had to put it on her leg
Then there was just more dancing til the end of the night. The last song was "Today was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift. The DJ had everyone gather around us. At 1:30 am, there were still tons of people left. I could totally see why some people extend their reception. The cast members were actually tearing the dance floor down and we were still standing there talking. We finally gathered everyone to leave. DH and I gathered a bunch of our stuff, including the top layer of cake to eat the next morning and headed up to our room. When we got there, this was waiting for us from Elizabeth, our floral planner...LOVE HER!
Oh, and one of my bridesmaids decided to jump in the GF pool at 1:30 am in her dress. I wasn't there, but another bridesmaid took this picture
It was absolutely a fairy tale and I loved every single minute of it!
