Shower, hair dried, dressed nice--fifteen minutes.
I recommend no hair to everyone...
Getting to the car? About fifteen minutes too, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have new nail polish for the first time in forever! And polished nails! What was I thinking with the self-denial? That was not a good move. Nails should be pretty.
this is the color btw

Because books.
I can be ready in a half hour for everyday stuff, but for something fancy like a wedding, I usually want more time. Under an hour, though, but I also have short hair.
Burrell, I love that color! I also love the name. I need to paint mine this weekend. I want to do something appropriately fall-like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The venue was really 5 minutes away from my house, but I definitely could have gotten there earlier! And for a daytime, not-that-fancy wedding? Easy.
The wedding was so nice! And now over. Perfect. Note to self: Personalized conversation hearts for a favor. Local!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Necco!

Yup! Love them.

I didn't Necco was a Boston thing. Conversation hearts are a great favor!

Ah!
We had no wedding favors. We were young and hadn't been to a lot of weddings yet (ours was the first among our friends, by a few years), and it didn't even occur to me as something you were supposed to do. Also, my dad did most of the planning because my mom was so ill at the time. (And it was a great wedding! But he wouldn't have thought of them either.)
Sometimes now I fantasize about a big anniversary party, where I could do some of the wedding things I would have done at the time, had I been older and more me, if that makes sense.
