Stephenson Wedding {Man Down!}


I have been so eager to share this part of the wedding with you all! Who has been curious about what this post was going to be since the last Wedding Wednesday??


But before we get to exchanging our vows, our first kiss and all that wonderful stuff let's look at what everyone still talks about to this day about our wedding.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen are all standing during the ceremony, when we move up to the main area they turn and face us, which is very bright. At the rehearsal the wedding director reminded everyone over and over "DO NOT LOCK YOUR KNEES" because it is so hot and bright up there someone may faint. 


Well if you are thinking..hmm I wonder if someone fainted then you are correct! One of our groomsmen fainted and I saw the entire thing happening since we were facing our guests at the time.

Go watch this video then come back here and we can chit chat! (sorry for the such bad quality, this was the best I could get to only have this little part)




I will never forget seeing the look on Warren's face and his eyes rolling in the back of his head. I had no idea what was happening, I didn't know if he was OK and I felt selfish that we were still continuing on with the ceremony when something could have been seriously wrong with him.

You don't see it in this video but after he faints the second time, our preacher says a prayer for him while they are helping him out of the church. But the funniest thing about this was as soon as Timmy say it happening he looked over to me and said "Ashley I swear he isn't drunk, we stopped drinking as soon as we got to the church" and I believed him because trust me I would be able to tell and those boys know better to come to my wedding drunk. I would have their asses.

Luckily as soon as the ceremony was over, Warren comes to where all the bridal party is with a bottle of water and he is just fine! It was the talk of the night, as you will later see in my dads speech, and people are still talking about the guy that fainted at our wedding!

So that is why I left you with this picture.

Such beautiful and warm memories. You know I had fainted on my brother's wedding as his bride was getting ready. She was trying to put an earring in a piercing that was not that good and was constantly saying ouch and ooh.. and I fainted. Now 10 years later we laugh at this....
