fabulous/not-so fabulous - #6

Next entry is from Sue who had one of those "no way to prepare for it" moments the day of her weddding...........


"I got married on May 19, 2006-the day of a methane truck rollover on the Mass turnpike in Hopkinton-where I live!. No traffic was allowed on the Pike from 10am-7pm-the day of my wedding!!! It all started with a call from a bridesmaid saying she couldn't get to the hair salon because traffic wasn't bad-it was completely at a standstill!!! We called the State Police and they told us what had happened....

I had my cell phone in one ear trying to re-route people and the curling iron in the other ear-while at the hair salon.
As if your nerves aren't frenzied enough the day of your wedding!!! ...

The flowers miraculously arrived on time to my house .....My wonderful photographer was there because she lived the next town over. My parents who live 20 minutes away and usually take Route 135 decided to take the MASS PIKE! They completely missed the pre-photographs at our house.
When I walked into the church-it was practically empty. My very best friend from upstate NY never made it to do the reading- so we had someone stand in...

It took us hours to get to the reception in Concord. Miraculously....everyone made it...albeit late. People spent all day in the car driving to the reception. They had to forego the ceremony because it was impossible to get there."

Here's Sue & Shawn in good spirits despite it all before, during, and after the ceremony!! You just can't let the challenges get you down......





"The best thing I can say to brides to be is bring a pair of comfortable white slippers so you can boogie down at the reception after the heels come off! I'm still in wedded bliss almost 2 years later-with a 1 year old baby boy too!"

OK - this is becoming a theme!!


and just for kicks......here's the cutie-pie!!!





Thanks Sue!!
