I want cake

I've been gone for a little over two weeks and I'm sure you all missed me terribly. For those of you that were wondering how the wedding went, it was amazing! Well, amazing except for one thing... I didn't get any cake! And since people are still telling me how great it was and how delicious it was, it really makes me want some wedding cake.

Anyways... The wedding was absolutely perfect. People loved my dress, they loved the food, they loved the flowers, they loved the music, they loved the flower girl. Actually, I think I may have been upstaged by our flower girl... I'm hoping someone videoed her walk down the aisle because I've heard it was the cutest thing ever. And during the reception, yep, it was all about her. But I don't mind sharing the spotlight with her. She was pretty adorable.

As soon as I get the pictures back from our photographer, you can be sure to see a lot of them. And I'll be writing another post shortly about the honeymoon (aka our time in heaven). And there will be a lot of pictures in that post.

Time Tested Beauty Tips by Sam Levenson

(A favourite poem of Audrey Hepburn.) For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her
fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge
you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.
Remember,
If you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older,
you will discover
that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
with passing years-only grows!

Apathetic

I know this might seem kinda bad, but I'm over this whole wedding.

Not in the sense that I don't want to get married, but I'm tired of dealing with everything.I don't care about the seating chart. I don't care about the escort cards. I don't care about chair covers. I don't care about favors. I don't care about an arch. I don't care about the quartet. I don't care about a makeup artist. I don't care about the music played. I don't care about what anyone is wearing. I don't care about where people are staying.

I know that sounds pretty awful seeing as I'm going to actually see all of those little details together for the first time, but I can't bring my self to care any more. After over a year and a half of planning, I'm done with it all. At the end of the day, is it really going to matter? People will come, see us get married, eat, drink and have fun. Why do I have to worry about all of these little details? Everyone seems shocked that I'm not stressed out beyond belief with only nine days to go, but I'm not. Excited? Yes. Stressed? Most definitely not. Why should I be? I've done everything in my power to get everything planned out and whatever happens happens. And when I try and explain this to people, they're absolutely baffled by my apathy.

But what good does it do me to worry about all of the little details? Just by stressing out about the weather being perfect, the favors suiting everyone, people liking who they are sitting next to for dinner wont change anything. I've done everything I can to make sure things go as smoothly as possible. And if they don't? Oh well.

C'est la vie.

10 Days

There are only ten days until the wedding.

Or twelve days until we're in Mexico.

 Either way you look at it, this is close. And when we got our marriage license last Friday, that really made things real. This is happening. We're getting married!
