I know I said…

I know I said I would be giving an account of the wedding, telling stories about what I thought and felt during the “Big Day” but I can’t seem to get it written in the way that I want to.  I think it might have something to do with how close I am to the event emotionally, but also it has to do with the people involved.

A few notes:
- My grandfather walked me down the aisle.  Since my father died when I was younger, I had always envisioned my grandfather taking on this task.  It was just as I had dreamed it to be.  He looked so great in his tux, and smiled at me in the way that only my grandfather can.  He even had a little tear in his eye when he saw me in my dress. 
- A man who has known me since I can remember, Tom, came out for the wedding.  I hadn’t seen him in a very long time.  The last event we had attended together was his wedding to his beautiful Bonnie.  They both came out for the wedding and it was so wonderful to see the two of them.  I didn’t get a chance to really talk to Bonnie, but I got to spend some time with Tom and even danced with him.  I was so happy that they came out from Sunny Florida to be here.
- The ceremony was beautiful.  Our Internet Minister was fabulous.  I am so glad we went that route instead of having someone up there who knew nothing about us. 
- Our cake was gorgeous.  Prettier than the picture.  When we walked into the reception hall and saw it I was amazed.  I hear that it tasted really good as well.  We got a couple of bites, but that was it.  Neither of us felt up to eating cake!
- The entire day was as perfect as I could have dreamed it to be.  Besides a few “incidents” it was a great time.
