After all of that, everyone started dancing again. Two of the staff brought out a limb pole, and the girl singer got us in a line behind her and she sang and led the limbo. It was pretty funny. There are a couple of professional pics of it, but I don’t have any right now.
We had some interesting moments at the wedding, too. My high school secretary whom I LOVE and her husband were there. Now they are old as dirt, but the sweetest people, and they were fast dancing! It was so cute
hehe
Also my flower girl and her dad were dancing and that was super cute
aw
oh i forgot to mention, bobby's siter got up and sang "i love rock and roll" with the band haha
AND my dad’s secretary who is in here late 50’s was dancing with tow of bobby’s groomsmen, fast dancing!
cant rmember if i already posted some of these, so sorry!
more dancing
lady in the green was one of my high school teachers haha
two of my best friends from High school, we were the three basketball seniors
My mom danced with some of the groomsmen, too. It was so crazy! Everyone was having fun though. My eye only had one “episode” during all the dancing. My mom must have told everyone b/c ppl kept saying “how is your eye” to me all night. Bobby and I switched it up between talking to people and dancing for another hour, and I think I did a good job of it. There were some people I didn’t get to talk to and am sad about, but I did talk to a lot of people. I wanted to introduce Bobby to a lot of people he hadn’t met, some of my high school friends, family friends from new Orleans, etc. people began to leave slowly, mainly some of the old people haha. I knew it was getting close. But it seemed like we had been there for 30 minutes! This was a 3 hour reception! Then I heard it, the new Orleans music, and knew we were doing the second line. Two of the staff ran up and gave us umbrellas we had brought (we had a white one for me and a black one for bobby, and we don’t know what happened to the black one…) and we had a few handkerchiefs for people to grab, and the others just grabbed a napkin. Bobby and I started the line and began making our dancing rounds around the room. (if you look at the professional pics they are at the end and so funny!) we danced around the room a few times with everyone in line behind us dancing. A lot of ppl had no clue what they were doing but did it anyway, it was so funny! We all met back in the middle of the dance floor and finished the song.
After that, they announced the last dance, which was for everyone…but for some reasons everyone backed up and just watched us dance. Weird. Did NOT ask them to do this, but they played “let’s get it on” haha. I was very happy, but very sad at the same time knowing all the work and planning I had put into this for a year was over in one night, and how I wanted to remember everything about it, but I knew I wouldn’t, and I got kind of sad. I was every excited about going to Disneyworld the next morning, but my ONE day ever to be a bride, was over.
We stayed after for a few minutes and said bye to everyone, took a few more pictures, etc. our two little servants came up to us with a box of food they had wrapped up, and a bottle of champagne, thanking us for coming, and congratulating us. They were so sweet and got us drinks and food at least ten times that night. I am sure there are so many little details I left out but I just cant remember them all. Hopefully when I get my video back I will remember some things.
if you look at my left eye you can see it is bloodshot and weird looking
My mom came and grabbed me and said “Heather, the limo is waiting, yall have to go” then my flower girl started crying b/c she didn’t want to leave. And then, my eye started to hurt. The excitement was over, and I wasn’t thinking about much, and it started to hurt. We were walked out to the limo, and I told my parents bye. I didn’t want it to be dramatic b/c I knew my mom would cry. Everyone stood out on the porch as we got in, and the videographer filmed us waving bye as they shut the door. It was officially over. As we drove out I looked back on the beautiful plantation that was mine for one night, and would never be again. I tried to soak in the image, so I wouldn’t forget. I tried very hard not to cry, and bobby reminded me about Disneyworld. I laughed, even though my eye was killing me. I looked down at my pretty dress and knew I would probably never put it on again. It was about a 15-20 minutes limo ride to the hotel, and I was exhausted. Everything just hit me and I almost fell asleep. When we got to the hotel, we got all out “stuff” and thanked the limo driver. It was 11:30, so there was no one in the lobby, and we just went up to our room. I immediately got a wet washrag and put it on my eye. It really did help it, and that’s how I fell asleep, with a wash rag on my face lol. I knew I needed as much sleep as possible, b/c we were getting up at 7:00 and it was already midnight. We wanted to get an early start on our llloonnnggg drive to Orlando.
THE END!!!
Aw you guys its officially over. I tried to draw it out as long as I could though! I hope everyone enjoyed reading, I enjoyed writing it! It was fun to relive everything! Hopefully when my video is done my videographer will put a clip up on his website, I will let yall know!
