Two Days and Counting
Jul. 22nd, 2004 09:49 amOh my god. I cannot believe that I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. We've been preparing like crazy, and I've got this fantastic dress and all these accessories and I'm getting a manicure and pedicure in a couple hours, but somehow it's hard to connect all that with the idea that this weekend I'll be walking down the aisle. It's so exciting! And scary as well, but in a good way. Like standing in line for a really cool ride at an amusement park, one that doesn't go too high but is really fast.
Well, that wasn't my best analogy ever, but it's close enough. All my friends will be coming into town this weekend, which will be a blast. We've got the swimming pool up to 80 degrees, perfect for this weather, and Saturday should be warm and sunny. And oh yeah, the presents. So many presents. There are 190 people coming to the wedding, and my house and present table are already almost full with shower presents and presents for people who couldn't come. I think that everyone should get married before they try to move out on their own, because people give you stuff, and it's great. Now I have a million billion billion thank you cards to write, but I can handle that part. Everyone should come up and visit me in Chicago this year. I have 12 sets of towels, plenty for everyone! But not, of course, till after we're back from the honeymoon. Which could take a long time, depending on whether or not I get a callback on the job I applied for. When you don't have to pay by the day for the place you're staying, timing is so flexible... =)
Anyhow, I gotta go now and do all sorts of last minute preparation things including my nails. And try not to go crazy before Saturday. On Saturday is okay.
