My husband, Bryan, and I were very lucky.  We planned an outdoor

wedding with no backup plan for inclement weather.  It was overcast

that day - the perfect weather for great photos - and the only "hitch"

that day was ours.

However, our first conversation as man and wife will never be forgotten.  We'd just said our vows and been pronounced man and wife, and as we were walking back down the aisle, I had a slight "wardrobe malfunction," as evidenced by the following conversation:

Me: "Oh s***!"

Him: "What's wrong?"

Me: "My pantyhose just fell down."

Not quite what I expected for

my first conversation as a married woman.  I guess it just goes to show

that while your wedding day can be the best day of your life - as mine

was - you're never too far away from real life.

I spent my time as part of the receiving line with my hose around my knees - and with 14 attendants and well over 100 guests, the line was long and crawled at a snail's pace - then immediately went to the ladies' room to remove both hose and shoes and change into my cute and comfortable white slippers I'd purchased for the occasion.
