Hmm...things have been pretty tense around my 'pretend' internet world...so I thought I would throw in a little bit of happiness...
I haven't written up my 'wedding memoirs' yet, but it will be here in the coming months, but I'll share a couple happy memories from it, forgive me if I've already talked about it...
- At the church, there was a bride's room, where the brides can sit before the ceremony. It had curtains, and if you peeked from around the curtains, you could see into the church. Of course, I peeked. By this time, everyone else had lined up and it was just me and Jaygee, my maid of honor. I was looking at the church and was so happy to see so many people come, but I couldn't find Dave. 'Where's Dave?' I asked Jaygee. She looked out, and she couldn't find him either. I went into a mini-panic. Then she whispered, 'I see him now!' 'Where! Where!' I cried, looking. 'Look really hard...' she replied. Then I saw him, standing at the side of the church with his brother, so handsome in his tuxedo, and looking a bit anxious. Then I started crying. 'Don't cry!' Jaygee squealed, grabbing some tissue. 'Blot, don't wipe!' she ordered. I don't know what came over me. I think it was a realization that, yeah, my soon-to-be husband was out there waiting for me. And I was just happy.
- During the wedding, we did the presentation of flowers to the Virgin Mary. That's when the bride and groom go to the statue of Mary and give her flowers as someone sings a Mary-centric song in the background. So me and Dave walked over to the statue, as the cantor sang a lovely rendition of Ave Maria. We knelt in prayer. And then we started whispering:
Me: Wow, this ceremony is long
Dave: Yeah, I didn't think it would take so long
Me: It's because there were so many people in the communion line
Dave: We need to get out of here soon, we're not going to have much time at Wrigley
Me: Oh yeah! And we still have to take pictures.
(meanwhile, the whole church thinks we are deep in prayer)
Dave: Yeah!
Me: How long is this song?
Dave: I dunno, it's been a while already
Me: Let's just get up and go
Dave: OK.
So we got up and went back to our places. I don't know if the lady finished the song or not, but we were on a schedule!!!
