Crazy? Nah.

I'm sure that many of you know your family can be a little nutty, so I can't be completely alone here. Now there have been a few of my cousins and relatives that have had weddings in the past couple of years and I'm not so sure I'm prepared for them to attend mine. I mean, I love my family... but MAN do they have fun.

I honestly think the one thing that will completely save us is that Champ's family is JUST AS CRAZY at weddings. In fact, there is an ongoing family tradition of a "surprise prop" at each family wedding. About a year and a half ago, we went to Champ's cousin's wedding. I was unaware of this surprise prop tradition until I was shot in the face with a water gun. Literally, eating my entree (chicken I'm sure), and I was hit with a hard stream of water- could have been vodka, who knows. I thought it was awesome, but I'm not so sure the bride's family thought it was awesome... oops!

So I'm sure I can expect some shananigans at our wedding, but I'm wondering what surprise prop we'll see make it's way into our reception...

Not so sure I'll be doing the worm in a wedding dress, but I guess you never know....

My brother was married last summer and instead of the traditional champagne toast, they chose their favorite- tequila! Looks like Aunt Barb and perhaps the bridesmaids (I'm second from the left) may have had too much tequila at my brother's wedding? NAH, just fun..

As much as I would love our wedding to be centered around romance and elegance, I believe a wedding should be a celebration of love... I'm so ready to celebrate!

Anyone else have any fun family traditions or crazy wedding stories?!
