I found this survey on a friend's blog and thought it would be fun to fill out. Pictures are included. ;) It was fun to recall these details!
1) When was your wedding day? October 19, 2007
2) What day of the week was it? Friday
3) Did you get married in a church? No, we got married in the Huntsvilla Alabama Hospital. I was on my way to move to Georgia from Alabama to live closer to Troy on Oct. 16. I was in a near fatal accident and ended up in the ICU for a few days. Troy was told that because of my broken neck, I may never walk again. My mom told him that if he felt he wanted to change his mind and call off the wedding that everyone would understand, including myself, and that no one would think any less of him. He said that he instead wanted to marry me then - before surgery, before he knew the outcome. He wanted me to know that regardless of what happened, he loved me and wanted to spend his eternities with me. So, we got married the next day about an hour before surgery. A couple hours later I was walking. I am such a blessed wife!
4) How many in your wedding party? None, technically. I asked Tina, my favorite nurse to be sure and be there and my sister, Stevie was there. They were my unofficial bridesmaids.
5) How many guests were invited to your wedding? there were just a handfull of people there: my mom and dad, Aunt Tammy and Kevin, Stevie, Mammaw Nola, Barbara (a dear friend from church) and some hospital staff and reporters.
6) How long did you wait to tie the knot after your proposal? We got engaged on September 11, so only a month. The original plan was to get married in the Orlando temple in December.
7) Did you register for gifts? haha - no. I got the greatest gift - life! And an amazing team of medical staff who worked miracles!
8) Who did you hire as your photographer & videographer? The Huntsville Times :) We actually didn't hire them, but a nurse called to let them know what was going on, and they did a front page story of the occasion. Kevin took lots of pictures and video taped the ceremony
9) Did you have a DJ or a band? Neither. There was a nurse, however, who sang "Let It Be Me" right after we said I do. It was unexpected, yet beautiful.
10) Did the father walk the bride down the aisle? No, I was unable to move at the time. The reporter asked if he was disappointed that he couldn't walk me down the aisle to give me away, and he said something along the lines of "I'm just happy she's still here for me to give away at all. And I can't think of anyone that I'd rather give her away to."
11) What color were the bridesmaid dresses & groomsmen vests? Tina wore scrubs, Stevie had on a green t-shirt and jeans and there were no groomsmen. :)
12) Who was the Maid Of Honor? The Best Man? no one technically
13)What were your colors? no colors
15) What type of limo did you get? I was wheeled into an oporating room literally minutes after we were married. Troy walked beside my rolling bed and held my hand. So, I guess that would be our "limo."
16) What type of wedding gown/tux did you two wear? I had on a hospital gown, but Aunt Tammy had gone to a store and bought a couple yards of white satin to drape around my shoulders to make me feel more bride-like. Troy wore a brown t-shirt and jeans.
18) Where did you go on your Honeymoon? Actually same as Taylor. (who I borrowed this survey from) When I was fully recovered and able to travel, we rented a UHaul and drove across country to move to Vegas.
19) What was your favorite part of your wedding day? the shift in paradigm. Before that day, everyone was panicked and worried about my well being. I was so scared of what was going to happen and how grim the outcome was. Then I married the man of my dreams and all of the tears turned from ones of fear to ones of happiness and hope. I know it sounds cliche, but I feel like I recovered so well because I felt so loved.
20) How long have you been married? It will be two years in October
21) What was the most memorable "bridezilla" moment? No, I don't think so. I was pretty heavily medicated on morphine, so I was a very pleasant person. :)
22) What was your most memorable wedding-related mental breakdown? just the stress of the impending surgery. My surgeon was hillarious and was always saying smart aleck things to get me to laugh. I remember after they began the sedation before surgery, he leaned over me with a scalpel and said, "Ready for me to slit your throat?" They cut a two inch incision near my throat to put the screws and plate in my neck. He said later that he wouldn't have said that if he thought I would have remembered it, but it was kinda scary. So, I guess that would be my mental breakdown on my wedding day.
23) What would you change about your day? Nothing other than a little less medication so that I could remember more details.
24) What was your most memorable Wedding moment? Chaplain Johnson, the hospital chaplain who married us, was retired Air Force. He and Troy bonded instantly because of that. When he finished the vows, instead of the usual, "You may now kiss your bride" he said, "You may now salute your bride." I loved it!
The reason for the occasion.
Troy saluting his bride. You can kinda see the huge cheesy grin on my face. I loved this part!
Our rings. My left arm was very badly injured and swollen to nearly three times it size, so there was no way my ring was going to fit on the usual finger. Troy put it on my right hand, and presented his right hand to me as well for his ring. ;)
His sweet gentle kisses.
Chaplain Johnson whispered something to me after the ceremony. I remember it calming me alot, but can't remember what he said. This is one of the details that I'd love to be able to recall.
Daddy was so proud this day. He knew I'd always be taken care of after this moment.
I don't remember what Daddy said to me either. But I know it made me cry.
Mama giving Troy love after the ceremony.
She was so nervous to touch me. :)
Aunt Tammy brought me some lillies to use as a bouquet.
Six months pregnant, I took the kids to the Exchange Club Fair in town. I typically LOVE carnival rides, but made it through one farris wheel ride and a ride on the swings before I was so sick that I could barely move. We all had a great time, though. 
Troy working with structural carpenters outside of his normal bug guy career field - building an expeditionary fire station in Iraq.
When they deploy, they are told that all snakes are venemous in Iraq. This one was not. Basically, they tell people to consider all snakes deadly because of people being sent home from bites in the past.
My 27th birthday - 6 months pregnant - with a dress from Becca, and flowers from Troy. The day was spent going to Chloe and Jacob's spring band concert, and dinner out with the whole family at Cracker Barrell. Troy being there is the only thing that could have made it more awesome.
