Ashley and I got married six months after she proposed.  It’s weird.  You know when you are a little girl, you just dream of this perfect wedding.  Your Dad walking you down the isle while your Mom cries as you marry the one and only person that you love.  Well, that little fantasy doesn’t include all of the planning and arguments that have to be went through to get to that point.  I guess that’s how you test your love.

I wanted a big ceremony.  Ashley wanted a small one.  We agreed on a medium sized one.

I wanted to get married at the beach.  Ashley wanted to get married at the beach also, but she wanted to get married on the beach in Mexico.  We agreed to getting married on the beach of California.

I wanted us both to wear beautiful wedding dresses.  Ashley wanted to wear a bathing suit.  So, we settled for very cute summer dresses.

I wanted a reception with a huge cake and music.  Ashley wanted a reception with alcohol, alcohol, alcohol.  So, we had a reception with a huge cake, music, and a lot of alcohol.

I wanted our song to be When You Look Me In The Eyes by the Jonas Brothers.  Ashley, well, she doesn’t like the Jonas Brothers.  So, she sang it to me instead.

I wanted a preacher to marry us.  Ashley wanted Brett Michaels to marry us.  This time, there was no compromise.  I won.  A preacher married us.

The day of the wedding was pure hell.  I had agreed to stay at my Mom’s house because of the whole ‘you can’t see the bride before the wedding’ thing.  Ashley wouldn’t stop calling me.

The next morning, I had a headache.  Great.  I took medicine, but that didn’t really help.  Ashley and I had agreed on two bridesmades a piece, and they were all there.  Two of them’s dresses didn’t fit properly, and they had to be altered at the last second.  We couldn’t find one of my shoes or my earings when we were getting ready at the hotel.  Ashley kept sending me naughty text messages making my mind totally not capable of functioning.

Finally, we got to the church, and all I could hear was yelling from another room.
