00:00I stole several things from the movie Steel Magnolias for my own wedding and it was a
00:03hit. Like Shelby, my signature color is pink. So I had an array, tons of pink, my decor,
00:09the invitations, my nails, fingers and toes, all the bridesmaids dresses. Suddenly I don't have an
00:14aunt who makes armadillo grooms cakes and neither does my husband. But I did know I wanted a certain
00:18special cake that was different from the cake I was cutting with my husband. It is my favorite
00:22cake from my favorite grocery store in the South. Yes, it's published. It was basically my grooms
00:26cake but better. A few of my other favorite quotes from the movie that I had to say throughout the
00:30day just to make it fun. There was no such thing as natural beauty because this beat has to last me
00:34all day, all night. Shelby and her dad are about to walk down the aisle after he's been shooting guns
00:39all day so we can't hear anything. She has to say, Daddy, it's time. And he goes, Oh, it's time. So my
00:45dad and I did that exact bit right before we were about to walk down the aisle. It went swimmingly.
00:49Everyone loved it. If they didn't get it, it's time to watch Steel Magnolias. Let me know if you had
00:52something special at your wedding, a tradition, a bit. And if you're planning a wedding, remember it's
00:56yours. Do anything you want. There's no rules.
