The actress kicked off her tumultuous pre-wedding story with some foreshadowing, saying: "It had rained at sunset every day that week."

She painted a picture of the stress everyone was under about everything going well, or not, saying: "Everyone was worried about the heat, the aptly named 'love bugs,' the details, would the guests all arrive on time, etc."

The reasons to worry appeared never ending, and she added: "Not to mention the thunder and lightning that arrived almost on cue each day at the exact time the ceremony was supposed to start that Saturday."

Despite the mishaps, the couple looked happier than ever walking away from the altar

What's more, she didn't stop there, and confessed the most stressful factor of all: "Oh, and all of us caught a stomach bug and were recuperating 'til late in the week."

The mother-of-two went on to finally share every detail from her stunning nuptials, sharing exclusive photos of her and Ben walking away from the altar, and their first dance.
