I Now Present... Bradley and Jamie Cramer

The wedding nazi strikes again! As we were walking outside to get to the back of the Church, we noticed there were still people walking in. Jamie didn't want anyone to see her so we shut the doors in the lobby that lead into the Church. Boy did we ever make a mistake! The wedding nazi snapped at the lady who was trying to shut the doors. What a humorous scene!

After that was resolved, the Grandparents and Parents were ushered down the aisle. The two Mom's were to light the two candles next to the unity candle before they sat down. My mom probably won't be very happy that I put this on her but I think it's pretty funny. Apparently, my mom not only lit her candle, but she also lit the unity candle. One of Jamie's friend quickly jumped up and blew out the candle. This is not the only problems we had with the candles... But I'll tell you that later in the story.


After that whole candle debacle, the bridesmaids starting walking down the aisle. I walked with my cousin and he is a major goofball so of course he was making me laugh the entire time. I guess that eases the fact that everyone is starring at you! By the time I got up to my place, I could already feel the tears coming. There is just something about weddings that makes me cry... strictly out of happiness though! As soon as I saw Brad's face, I kinda of broke down. You could just tell that he was so happy and couldn't wait to see Jamie. After the maids of honor got down the aisle, I looked at Brad and he was looking towards the ground in anticipation. As soon as those doors opened, his face just beamed like I had never seen before.
She walked down the aisle and looked absolutely stunning. I was betting on Brad to cry but I don't think he did. Jamie however had tears rolling. Her Dad gave her hand to Brad and everyone was seated.


Next comes the other candle problems. After they had said their vows and what not, they went to light the unity candle. The two candles on the side did not exactly fit well in the candle holders. One of the moms apparently took one of the candles out of the holder and it wasn't firmly but back in. Before the ceremony started, both Brad and Jamie were instructed to hold the candle and the candle holder when they were lighting the unity candle. They lit the candle and proceeded back to the alter.

I looked over at the candle and noticed that one was tilting. I mentioned it to the girls next to me, then we were all looking. We were trying to get the attention of the groomsmen on the other side in fear that it was going to fall over. It started tipping even more! Then Brad noticed the commotion between us and looked over at the candle. As he did.... THE CANDLE TIP COMPLETELY OVER! Everyone gasped of course. Luckily it hit out the table and didn't go straight to the floor. Brad quickly ran over and picked it up before anything major... like lighting the Church on fire... could happen!

After a few laughs and a joke by the Deacon, the finished up the ceremony. The walked down the aisle and were now officially Brad and Jamie Cramer!
