Okay, well, it's all over with. =( That's the sad part. But the good part is that Myles and I had an absolutely AWESOME wedding. And everyone else says so, too, so it's not just us. lol There were no gliches or hiccups or anything. No disasters, no problems. It was amazing. I don't have a whole bunch of the pictures in yet, but I do have some, so I'll post some of the good ones I have on here.

One Thursday, everyone started coming in, so admidst getting all of the final stuff done, I had a ton of people there. But it was all good, since I loved getting to spend time with them. Friday Mom and Misty and I all got manis and pedis, Mom's treat to her "two" daughters. =) Doug and his girlfriend came in on Friday morning and oh man was I sooooo happy to see him. Turns out, I used to hang out with his girlfriend way back in middle school. LOL That's some funny stuff right there. But she's awesome, so it's all good. The rehearsal went well on Friday as did the dinner.

And then Saturday came. The big day.

The day started at 5:30, getting up and getting showered. We made a Starbucks stop and then we were on our way to the salon so Jesse could do our hair...we had to be there at 6:30 so that he could get all of us and my makeup done by noon. We were there a long time, but it didn't feel like it. Just us girls gabbing and having fun and joking around. The girls' hair was great, all in French twists with some mini calla lillies and pearls, but each one done differently.

After Jesse finished my makeup it was time to head back to my house to get our dresses and accessories and head over to the church to get ready for the pictures we were doing before the wedding to cut down on the time spent on them after the ceremony. The dress zipped out without a hitch, which was great, and then I just sat there. And sat there some more until Ed, our photographer, was ready to do pictures with my and my maids and family.

Everyone kept asking if I was nervous, and the answer was no. I was just anxious. I was sick of sitting there and I wanted to get the show on the road, so to speak. Mom and Dad were getting a little emotional, but I remained calm. Until I was lined up to walk down the aisle with my dad. Then it hit me. I was fighting back tears when my dad lifted my veil and kissed me on the cheek, and when Myles took my arm to walk me to the minister, I was having a hard time, but he just kept looking at me and smiling and it really helped calm me down. Hell, I don't even remember what the minister said and what we said. Myles and I were whispering to each other the whole time, and at one point Misty and I caught the giggles. Her son was the ringbearer and he was sitting on a chair behind the guys, but right in view of Misty and I and he started doing this heavy breathing/hyperventilating thing, using his whole body and stuff. Oh God it was hilarious. Luckily, one of the guys saw what was happening and moved him so we couldn't see him anymore. =P

I know I messed up a line, but I don't even remember what it was. =P And then it was done. We were married. =) Then everyone blew the bubbles at us and then Myles and I took off in Doug's Mustang, and then we came back and took pictures. And then we went to the reception site and took some more pictures. LOL

And then we finally got announced and got to start the best part of all of it...the party. =) Eating and drinking and all that good stuff. The one thing that was really hard was getting around to talk to everyone. I still feel like I missed people. After the first dance, most of the people pretty much cut out, but those that were left were our close family and friends and we all had a blast. And I mean a freaking blast. Dancing and drinking and laughing and just having fun. I walked out onto the dance floor with my champagne and Misty promptly came out, took my glass and gave me the bottle of champagne. LOL So there was Tera, walking around with a bottle of champagne. =P Eh, oh well, it was my day. =)

After the reception was over, a bunch of us headed to a bar downtown, within walkign distance. I change but kept my veil on, since there was no way I was traipsing around in that huge ass dress and letting everyone walk all over it, since one of the bustle things broke and it didn't hold it up right. The bar was a great time. At one point, Myles came up to me and told me we had to talk to some people. I was like, um okay. I followed him, and he walked to the front of the bar to the front booths, stopping at each one and saying hi and asking if they got their shot and telling them we had just gotten married. Yeah, he bought a round for the ENTIRE BAR. *shaking my head and laughing*. That's my Myles. You should have seen my brother's face when he found out what Myles did...since at the beginning of the night he told the waitress that Myles and I were on his tab. Hahahah.

After a few more drinks and being bought a couple more shots, Myles and I decided to head out, at like 1:30. Once we got back to our hotel room, Myles decided he wanted one more beer. So he calls up the best man, who has the cooler full of beer in his room and who was also still at the bar. And voila, Kevin, Dawn and or friend Fulk show up at our room with the cooler and stay there until a little after 4. lol Yeah, it was a LONG day. But it was so much fun.

Sunday was all about sleeping and only waking up for short amounts of time when we absolutely had to. LOL For those of you on my MySpace, keep a watch out on there because I'll be posting pictures as I get them. It's way to difficult to do them on here...but I managed to get some on my main blog which you guys can go read now that I'll be done with this one. http://editortera.blogspot.com And don't let the editor part mislead you, it's not all about editing. Not hardly. =) And I'll be posting some final thoughts on this one when I finally get some time. =)

Day "It's Almost Here!"

So, the wedding has changed. =P Ann and Samantha are out. Ann pulled Samantha to be vindictive bitch, but it's all good, because we still have Kevin and Dawn's daughter, Ashley. I feel sorry for Brian, though. Man. To make a long story short, Ann screwed up my bachelorette party in a big way, expected ME to call HER about it, and then sent me an email pretty much blaming it all on me. I emailed her back and told her exactly how I feel and what she sent me back was pretty much craziness. It's pretty funny when the world's most self-centered person tells you that you are selfish and that you expect the world to revolve around you. Hahahaha. But really, it's all good. I haven't wanted her in the wedding for a while now, and she's the one who's out all the money for being a bitch...150 for her dress about about the same for Samantha's. And whatever else she may have bought. She can burn the dresses for all I care. Tonight I'll be going through and tossing any pictures I have of her and the kids. She wants me out of her daughter's life, fine. I love that kid to death and I feel sorry for her, having to grow up with a mom like Ann. It'll be a blessed day when Brian finally leaves her ass. So yeah, we'll have an uneven wedding party, but I'm completely cool with that. I'd rather have all the people I care about up there instead of her. We;ve been growing more distant for some time, and I guess I just never realized how volatile the situation really was. But, it's all good now. I feel absolutely no stress and I can move on and have no tension on my wedding day, considering my mom can't stand her, and for good reason. I need to just start paying some attention when my mom doesn't like people. LOL It's usually a darn good indicator. hahahah.

Day "It's Really Close Now!"

Wow. It's here practically. I'm so excited and I'm not worried about anything. I hada snafu with a bridesmaid this weekend, well, she was a maid of honor, but she has since been downgraded, but that's a story for another time. Let's just say she made her bed and she has to lie in it and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest when it comes to that situation. I'm not worried about her behavior on the wedding day...if she knows what's good for her, she'll keep quiet and be on her best behavior. Or I'll sic Doug or Dawn on her. And anyone who knows Doug knows how intimidating and scary he can be. LOLOL

I'm pretty much stress free and it's great. This week will just be wrapping up all the loose ends and making some phone calls, but it's all good. We'll be getting the favors all tied up and ready and stuff, and yeah. I'm so excited for the wedding. =) Tonight we go to the church to meet with Fulk, our DJ, and Joe, our minister, to work out the flow of things and such. It'll be all good. Then cleaning the house tonight and tomorrow night and Wednesday people start coming. lol
