It was pretty fabulous!

Thanks! I have to say, when I was thinking about what I wanted my wedding to be (in those days before I had the groom picked out) I forgot that he would have opinions, too. Some of his opinions were terrible - he didn't think we needed chairs at the ceremony - but many of them where honestly what he wanted his wedding to be and I'm glad that the day turned into something we both worked out together.

I want a marching band at my wedding. Other than that I'm not sure (aside from awesome groom, and as many friends and family as possible, a decent spot, good food, and lots of booze, and me looking gorgeous! but specifics I don't know. And have no reason to know yet!)

I may be composed of Strega anti-matter.

Weirdo!

Well, okay, I'm pretty sure it's me that's in the minority.

The problem with coasters and such is that my automatic response to scary things is to focus on staying calm. Which might a useful reaction at times, but if I'm meant to be enjoying an adrenline rush it's kind of counterproductive.

I've never been to a wedding where the attendants clothes were paid for by the couple/couple's family.

My mom helped pay for my attendants' dresses because they were fairly expensive. Mom & Dad paid for the whole wedding, which was a huge help. But we did a lot to keep costs down--making our own food, etc.

I understand wanting to feel pretty and have the day be special. I felt like a princess.

Ginger, you were a lovely bride. I love this picture of you.

Gracie's brush off of Noah's affection slayed me.

ugh - I have just found out about a set of circumstances that I can no way come clear of without making a friend upset. I was left off the email about a memorial service and now I can't be there. This will not be understood, no matter what is said to my face.

ugh, msbelle.

I can't control the circumstances or other's reactions. At a different place in my life I could drop things and switch directions on a dime, but now I can't and it is exhausting to feel like you have to apologize for not meeting expectations over and over and over.

I can't control the circumstances or other's reactions.

yeah, but it still can be hard to deal with. I'm sorry.

Never really had a "Special Day!!1"...would like to, if not to the point that I'm a bitch about it. But, still, 20 grand for a dress?!

How long is too long for a sore throat? I mean, other than five seconds? Because I've had this one and not really other allergy/cold symptoms for a couple weeks now. I have to hit up three pharmacies for prescriptions tomorrow--I wonder if I'll remember to a) check lozenges for sugar substitutes b) buy lozenges.

And I wish either my migraine guy or my pain management office would call me back--how am I supposed to make appointments in voicemail? I sense flaws in their systems.
