Glenn said, "That dress is amazing…Mark is gonna have a heart attack…" I said, "Well, I hope he doesn't need any help when he has this heart attack…because I don't think I could bend over in this dress, even if I wanted too…It's a good thing I didn't gain any weight since the fitting, cause there is nothing else that is going to fit in this dress…unless I hide it under the layers…" Glenn laughed even harder…
As I walked down the isle arm and arm with my father…Glenn was right, Mark's eyes nearly came out of their sockets when he saw me in my wedding dress…We said our I do's…and for the reception we told every single guest to bring a spare change of clothes, and be as comfortable as possible, levis, Dockers, whatever. Mark had on the usual…Black levis…boots, and a Deadman Inc. T-shirt…
I put Christopher in his overalls, Deadman inc. T-shirt that one of the wardrobe ladies from the tour who had it made for him cause he was so small…and his tenny shoes…I had on a black cotton skirt that came to about 3 inches above my knees…it was a cargo skirt and had two pockets…one on each outer thigh area, with my 2½ inch heeled black leather knee high boots…and a red tank top with a matching cardigan on…and left my hair down…
Jeff, Matt, Glenn and my maid of honor…who else Amy…got up and all gave speeches about the wedding and us…the funny thing was with as close as Christopher was with Matt, Jeff and Amy…he was 10 times closer to Glenn…even though Glenn wasn't related to us…Christopher still thought he was his Uncle…Glenn had no objection to it…so when Glenn got up to do his Speech…Every one heard Christopher say, "You go Uncle Glenn." I looked at Mark who was cracking up laughing…I shot Jeff and Matt glares, cause I knew they were behind this…they had taught him to cheer for Glenn when he was in the ring against someone…this was definitely their influence. Jeff just shrugged and said, "I don't know where he gets this stuff." I said, "I'll just bet." I reached over and pinched Jeff's arm…
Christopher said, "Mommy, can I go see Uncle Glenn?" I said, "Yea…just make sure you stay by him." He said, "Yea. Mom" And walked away, I got Glenn's attention, and pointed to Christopher making his way over to Glenn. Glenn gave me a thumbs up, and then grabbed Christopher and placed him on his shoulders, and walked around the reception hall all night with my son attached to his shoulders.
Jeff got up and grabbed a microphone and said, "Okay, Mark and Sandra…I have been racking my brain for the last 3 weeks…trying to think of a perfect song for you guys to dance to alone up here…as your new married selves…and I honestly couldn't come up with anything…then I came across a female singer from Canada…and realized she's got one amazing voice…so I decided to dedicate a song to you two…it's called I surrender…cause in all fairness…you really surrendered to each other…"
I looked at Mark and he took my hand in his and led me to the middle of the dance floor…and then proceeded to wrap his arms around me…and when the song came on…we we're slowly dancing…the song was so beautiful…and Jeff was right it fit us perfect. The name of the song was I Surrender…and the singer was Celine Dion…
