i have survived the angst of putting a wedding together and am officially married. if you had asked just a few years ago if i thought i'd get married again i would have told you no. i couldn't even imagine sharing my space with anyone else. now he's working swing shifts and it annoys me when he's not here in the evenings. i know, it's his job.
the wedding was wonderful. i don't know what else i could have wanted, well, to get everyone up to dance. family from texas attended. i was more than delighted to have them come out just for my wedding. one of the groom's daughers came from florida with her little boy so two of his three were here and for father's day as well. it's been a long time since i've had a small child tearing around with all that energy. if only i could harness some of it. he was adorable as is his mother.
one thing i did learn was you can't have a wedding where most of the attendees are 'more mature', this 'sorta' includes the bride and groom, have them sit in the sun for awhile, feed them, provide alcohol, and then load them up on cake and not think everyone will want a nap in the middle of the afternoon.
and i got sick. the day before the wedding my allergies went nuts and i had lost my voice by the end of the day. while some people might rejoice at this, everyone seemed to know i was already totally stressed out and messing with me was not a good idea. good move on their part. had very little voice on the wedding day and generally felt lousy. but this did not deter me and i had a wonderful time but was glad we had some down time in the afternoon. also it doesn't make for an overwhelming wedding night. the groom wanted to know if we were going back to our wedding night hotel and act like teenagers. while i liked that idea i pointed out we could until we fell asleep about 10:00. ah, the olden days.............
