A Ragamuffin Wedding

Posted on 17. Jul, 2009 by loswhit in Family, Weblogs

So Heather turned 31 yesterday.
She married me when she was 22.
Do the math.
Our wedding has been on mini DV tapes sitting in the closet.
Like 5 hours of footage.
So I finally made her a recap.
You probably will only enjoy this if you love us on a scale of 1-10 around a 7.
Otherwise it will bore the crap out of you.
But there are some twitter appearences by @double3, @brianhaleyeah, @trying2lead, @PastorMattBrown, and lots of @sandalschurch OG’s.
And yes. The unity candle. When I was supposed to grab Heathers and blow it out, I thought she wanted me to unite the flames.
Ooooops.

Wow…
Happy Birthday babe.
We are old.
Los

    Why did I just watch this? I really feel like a stalker. I only made it through about a minute or two and then I just had to stop.

    One thing I did notice is that your wife looks young and you really don't look any different, minus the pre-LA ink episode.

    At least you played KOL in the background

      You know it. And welcome to my life dude. Don't feel bad. Watch it all.

    A real mariachi band, Vanilla Ice AND Milli Vanilli…dude! I have a new respect for y'all.
    :-)

    I know she absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing with us.

    really really fun to get to watch that. i must love you guys at least a 7 though… cause i wasn't bored. the cake smash was an epic win… and wow… you were definitely hamming it up on the dance floor. i know this was a birthday gift to H but dang… congratulations to you both for what you have. it is a gift to us to see a marriage like yours… praying for continued blessing and protection over it.

      Yes. You are at least a 9. And are loved back as well.
      Thanks.

    love it…that's a great gift for her!

    Hey we got married outside too!

  6. Kristel 17 July 2009 at 5:07 pm #

    Okay…I actually sat through the whole thing and got a bit teary eyed at the end.
    Great gift. I'm sure Heather loved it. :-)

    • loswhit 17 July 2009 at 5:47 pm #

      She did. She's watched it like 5 times already. LOL

    This makes me feel a little less bad about my own video. It hasn't been quite a year. At least I captured the tapes. It'd help my case though if I didn't do it for a living.

    Great job on the video, and happy birthday Heather!

    • loswhit 17 July 2009 at 5:47 pm #

      DANG. You have like 8 more years. LOL

    This. was. AWESOME! But like klreed189 alluded to, is it a little weird that I was really looking forward to watching this?? :-) I was surprised to see you had 2 groomsmen for every bridesmaid, it's usually the other way around! The unity candle fail was hilarious. And I am a big believer in the crowd applauding while the couple kisses at the end of the ceremony to decrease the awkwardness. Complete silence makes me feel like a peeping-tom or something, and I think it adds a lot of pressure to the couple! Anyway, loved being able to share in your day. This was a phenomenal gift to give Heather. :-)

    Awesome man! You two set such a great example. My fianceé and I are going through the whole planning process now. Great to see that at the end of that day all that really matters is that you're together, united for the rest of your lives. Awesome man! Thanks to you and your wife for being a Godly example.

    • loswhit 17 July 2009 at 5:48 pm #

      Thanks Shane. I'll be praying for you guys!

    I am so glad you shared such an intimate video with all of us. Heather coming up the aisle made me cry. She is such a beautiful person! And your laughter – can never hear enough of that. How refreshing to see a couple still so in love. Thanks for sharing!

    • loswhit 17 July 2009 at 5:48 pm #

      You are welcome. We love sharing our lives with you guys!!!

  11. Sully 17 July 2009 at 5:45 pm #

    Hey…I'm in there, too! Just don't have one of those cool Twitter names…

  12. Renee Garcia 17 July 2009 at 6:08 pm #

    And I saw Moi and Lori-Lynn in there too!!! Great video and what a good present!!! :) Now stop ignoring Heather! LOL :)

  13. Patricia 17 July 2009 at 6:22 pm #

    the two to one ratio for groomsmen is an awesome idea. i might just have to steal that idea one day if (or when) i get married since i've been a bridesmaid about 13 times now & im going to put all of them to work on my wedding day =)

    lol and i looooooved the milli vanilli dance….

    your marriage is such an awesome testimony to the body of Christ. thank you to you& heather for sharing your stories & your lives to countless of people.

  14. Mikes 17 July 2009 at 6:35 pm #

    i think that that was sweet! Blessings to your marriage. more happines, more joy, more years, more children?!

    God bless you!

    Hey, how old is Ericka now? Tell her you know a really cool geek in Atlanta!

    But seriously, this video is soooo heart warming! Your family and community is so filled with love and joy – unlike most I've seen. Thank you for sharing this!

    Happy Birthday, Heather!

  16. Jenn 17 July 2009 at 7:56 pm #

    That was so cool. You both looked like you had a ton of fun at your wedding. I have to go blow my nose now, cause your video made me cry…

  22. Allison 17 July 2009 at 9:12 pm #

    I did enjoy the Bachlorette-like "Ed" moment, but thank you for sparing us the short green shorts.

    This was very nice. :)

  23. Nancy 17 July 2009 at 9:48 pm #

    It's obvious God made you both for each other. What a sweet husband to make a video like this! Happy Birthday, Heather!

    It’s definitely Russian – with a miss-spell on the first word.

    Means

    ” I have seen something similar to this before”

    then the secong lot of Russian posted by ‘ivan’ means

    ” this is amazing”

    Looks like you got yourself some sweet russki spammers! :)

  25. Dustin 18 July 2009 at 5:19 am #

    Good job, Los. I really liked the last part.

  26. Sllavvitta 18 July 2009 at 5:02 am #

    Навеяно наверное стандартным мышлением? Будьте проще ))

  27. Shellie (baylormum) 18 July 2009 at 3:25 pm #

    One thing about you guys, you are NEVER boring! What a great dedication to Heather & to you. A picture perfect day. (well, except for that candle thing!) Isn't it great when we find that one person to balance us out? God is great at bringing us together for more harmony in our lives. Thanks for sharing it with your small circle of friends-you've-never-met. :)

  28. Hellggaa 18 July 2009 at 12:41 pm #

    Здравствуй! Спасибо за подаренные хорошие эмоции…

  29. Rebecca Boganwright 19 July 2009 at 12:14 am #

    I did watch the whole thing. I think I only fast forward through 1, maybe 2 parts. =) Chad and Minyon I realized I don't know how to spell her name). Awesome. I loved the video. THanks for sharing.

    И опять об этом. Если поисковики научатся понимать смысл, то блогерам придется поизголяться, чтобы быть читаемыми и не похожими на других.

    Dude…i turned 40 last month…relax…
