I woke up way too early. So I thought, "I'll take an extra long bath and relax..." That bath took approximately 20 minutes. :-) I guess I was just so excited to get ready for the big day! I left my house to get my hair done. My dad teared up and it was the first time I'd ever see him really choked up. He basically shoved me on my way though, I'm pretty sure he knew he'd cry more. I got free coffee at Starbucks because it was my wedding day! I got my hair done, it was wonderful, got my make-up done (which took twenty minutes longer than planned because this old lady came in and couldn't decide what perfume she wanted). So I was late getting to the church. I got my dress on (which knocked a couple curls out) and got ready to see Nathan for the first time that day. My heart was beating very quickly as I walked down the aisle. His back was to me and I knew he was impatiently waiting for me to be there. His face lit up when he saw me and I remember feeling like a princess. A real princess.
Pictures came and went, the slideshow came and went and it was time to walk down the aisle. My dad kissed my cheek and teared up some more and at that moment, I realized that everything would be different from then on. The ceremony was beautiful and our first kiss as man and wife was fabulous (you wanted to know huh?). I remember the reception, but those memories are vague. I just really remember the morning and ceremony. I have never felt more beautiful and I will always cherish those memories.
Sometimes I wish I could put my dress back on and prance around the house. It's preserved in a box. But my tiara isn't! I wear it once in awhile. Just for fun. I love it! Someday maybe Em will wear it for something. Although if she did, I'd probably cry. Like that's something I never do. HA!
