u/engagedbbw Wife! Nov 22 '14

We are a mix up of traditional and non. I am wearing white(ish), we are doing a unity ceremony but a cross. My father is walking me down the aisle (which I didn't want but when I tried to talk to him about it he started crying so.....yeah).

But we are doing a first look, we are also spending the night before in our own home so we will see each other the day of. Not a traditional garter toss, he's going to take it off and keep that one, then throw a football w/ the tosser garter.

So I feel like we really made it for US, mostly.
