Mood: exhausted but happy It's offical as offical can get--I'm married now. The wedding couldn't have gone any more perfectly than it did. Everyone was there, our families meeting for the first time and everyone got along better than I could have hoped for. I found myself often looking around in a dreamy daze, completely sobered by the realization that we have some of the most awesome people in our lives. Our friends and family are such rare and beautiful people, and we're all just like one large family. I was told time and time again that we had the best wedding that people have ever been to. It wasn't pretentious at all, it was pretty much come as you are and you will be accepted regardless. How could it be pretentious when we had things like: - Everyone decorating a random Christmas tree with hangers, pudding cups, cookies, forks, wrappers and soda cans - Instead of a the bride and groom's dance, we did a mentally challenged Mad Libs while playing Love by the Smashing Pumpkins - The Pudding Bucket and it's friend, the Sign-In sheet. The Christmas Tree signed as well. hahaha - Slip and slide on the floor - Random and purposeful falling down - Moshing - Quasi-pornographic garder belt action, courtesy of Aaron The time went so fast and countless people came up to me and spoke of how Peter and I are perfect for each other, and they could feel the love throughout the ceremony. I think Cassandra's line was the best when she said, "I knew you guys were perfect for each other when you first met said you liked the same weird sandwich", lol, she is such an awesome chick. If anything was apparent to us, it was when we got back to the hotel after the reception and began to open all of our envelopes. Some of the large paragraphs people wrote in the cards made me cry, which must have been contageous because Peter got infected shortly thereafter. We laid there, softly talking through tears of appreciation and sheer amazement of how we have real, honest and true people in our lives--people that care and tell it like it is and will take a bullet for either of us. It's nearly impossible to articulate just how I felt, because feeling undenyably blessed is hard to reiterate. We have some really, really broke friends and family, and they gave, what we considered, ridiculous amounts of money. This made us cry even more because people assed themselves out just to give, and it's not the money, though that sounds so pretentious and plastic, it's the principle of it. I can honestly say that we have the greatest friends and family in the entire world, and we'd do anything for them. Anything at all. Thanks, everyone, for coming and sharing a piece of your life with us. It's all on video, which I'm not sure is a good thing or not, hahahaha. And thanks to God, who made every bit of it possible by just being Him, and moving others to make this all happen. An undying love... mean it.
