There are so many things to write about, once again, that I can't even pin point what I want to write about! Story of my life!
Let's back up and start at the day BEFORE my wedding. Normally this is when you get stressed out, and I have to admit, I did. I waited a long time before it happened though! So that's good right!? See, the rehearsal and the dinner and all of that was just fine. In fact, it was amazing. I had help from family, who I happen to love very much, and friends from my camp. Andy, Kevin, and Marissa, you're help last weekend was astounding. I can't even being to tell you how much you being here and helping me as much as you did means to me. It just proves that Family is more than flesh and blood. My camp friends will always carry a special place in my heart. However, after all that was done, we had to go decorate for the reception. Enter my Stress Monster. I had to pack for my Honeymoon, I had to make sure that I had everything I needed, I needed to make sure that people knew where they needed to be...I felt like the list keep getting longer and longer. So we're at the reception hall, and I'm downstairs fighting tears and hiding while my family and friends are upstairs putting chairs and tables up and running around like mad men. My loving husband came down stairs and just held me and let me run around and hide. He knows that I will calm down, his quietness works well for my high strung heart. In the end, everything was fine. I can't...so many blessings. And so many people who love me. I can't even...I'll cry if I think about it to much, so just know that I know I am loved, and people mean so much to me.
My wedding day was a blur. I think my favorite moment was sitting in all my fancy underwear while my little sister curls my hair and I have a black shawl around me and I'm brushing my teeth. That's right, of all things, I forgot to brush my teeth that day. We ran late in some things, but I'm told that happens. I still got my alone time with Blair though, and it was everything that I wanted. I danced with my Father, and cried, I looked at my little brother during my ceremony and cried, and you know, the make up that my mother did still held up. I danced like crazy, and had to have my brides maid help me pee. I sweated, and looked a hot mess, and I love every single moment of it. My little flower girls were adorable, Beanie tried to comfort Ada during pictures because she was sad. I felt for the poor child...she was just so done. I don't blame her, I was getting there too. Later at my reception, I got to hold her and she gave me kisses. I couldn't ask for a better memory with people who I love so much. I danced with my new little sisters, and was so proud of my new little brother for giving a speech. We were blessed with so much more than we thought we would have.
I will never get over this, that my wedding day, was absolutely everything I ever wanted.
I have my mother and father to thank for that. My Daddy for providing the funds and keeping me on track, my Mommy for forcing me to think about every small detail. I know that other people's parents love them, but not the way that my parents love me. If I and my husband are half the parents they are I will be content. :)
There is so much more to come. I haven't even started on my Honeymoon! I can't wait to share pictures and some of the fun things that I got to do with my Husband. For now, rest in the knowledge that God is good, and that He is good to me. If you can't see that for you, know that He is working in my life, and that He will start to work in yours. I pray that everyone will know a fierce love like the one that my Beloved and I share. I pray that you are all well, and that you enjoy these ramblings.
Also, est memory of my wedding day? All the bathrooms in my house were taken, and I had to...ahem...GO...so I had to take care of business while in the bathroom with my mother. That's real life bonding if you ask me!
