Married!

The last two weeks have really been a blur, and I've meaning to come here and write about my thoughts and impressions from those days. Everything was so fantastic, and yes, parts of those days were a blur. I remember standing up at the altar and seeing the faces of friends, family, colleagues, and old neighbors and new....all of those who were there on August 2 to be with us and celebrate with us. Those who could not make it were missed, but I didn't think about that as much.

Lots of little things...
--listening to the Asian ladies and the British ladies getting my nails done.
--All of the food at Buca!
--Seeing my brothers in suits!
--Seeing mom's smile and her dancing moves!
--scrounging for food before getting our hair done.
--Taking a SMC chic picture.
--watching for the weather reports so anxiously, and having sunshine. Having it rain just as we were about to go for cocktails, and then brilliant sunshine coming out. Letting folks know the bride and groom wanted everyone out on the Patio!
--not getting much too eat. Two bites of cake, no coconut shrimp, and not much of an appetite for dinner.
--mom's gift of the frame and card.
--Never getting to make full rounds of all of the tables.
--T time with Margaritaville.
--Piano Man as the encore.
--So much photo coverage!
--My cowboy garter.
--The drunken toasts.
--Waiting to see Steve's face when he came up the Willard stairs.
--No longer caring about favors.
--Having the entree numbers work out perfectly.
--Father Fields talking about how hot I was!

So many details to remember...and then there was Antigua!
--our crappy room in the honeymoon garden of eden, whatever that is.
--Pulling bridezilla to upgrade.
--getting SO seasick.
--Jellyfish season.
--Breakfast buffets with fresh fruit, waffles, bacon and hashbrowns.
--Lunch at bayside.
--Kayaking amidst the crabs on the caribbean.
--Yummy dinners.
--the turquoise blue water.
--that nice bathtub.
--sea green bikini.
--Reading by the pool as steve played beach volleyball.
--Talking to Kay & Pete, Mary Lyn and Jeff (I think)...all of the 40 somethings.
--Losing luggage on the way back and silly duty free issues.
