I got married!

Yep.

You all know that already, but here are the highlights from my wedding.

It was really great seeing all of my honored friends in the same place. In particular,I had a great time with my bridesmaids over the course of the weekend. They are all really good people that I have enjoyed many fun times with. It was fun cruising around in the HHR and interpretively dancing (trigirl82's first experience with that and I'm sure she can't stop thinking about it...nightmares and whatnot). It was just a really good weekend. I have to thank my bridesmaids too for all of their hard work. I'm pretty sure only two of them read this, but seriously...thanks for everything you guys did. I likely would still be single if you guys wouldn't have helped out so much that weekend. Seriously. *Ok, maybe not seriously, but it wouldn't have gone so smoothly.* I like you guys, that's all I'm saying here. *awww*

The other highlights were meeting all of BoySmiles friends that I hadn't met before and seeing the ones that I had met. It was a blast with everyone around and mingling in very small quarters. They are great guys and I'm glad that BoySmile has such great friends. I'm sure he thinks the same of me *ahem* with my friends who have no filters on their mouths.

The wedding itself was very hot. I was faced with the catch22 of drinking lots of water and having to pee in a little tiny outhouse with my wedding dress on, or not drinking enough and passing out while standing up front. In the end I risked drinking a fair amount and in turn, did not end up passing out in front of everyone, while yet not having to use the outhouse the entire day. It's a delicate balance. If you want to know my secret e-mail me. Whew. I actually didn't even notice it was so hot until I turned my head and my veil was sticking to my back and drops of water were running down my legs. Yes, the backs of my legs were sweating. Gross. (Now you know the inner workings of my wedding dress. You're welcome.)

I do need to stop and give a shout out to all of the bridesmaids who stood there staring at the ginormous bug on my booty during the ceremony. I obviously didn't know about it because I couldn't see behind me, but two weeks later in a phone call from my aunt, she informed me that this bug on my booty was very distracting from the ceremony. She said she almost stood up and got it off herself since no body else was. THANK YOU everyone for brushing it off for me. Whatever. I'm never asking any of you to be bridesmaids again.

My favorite part of the weekend of course was becoming Mrs. B. *awww*shed*a*tear* I know, I never used to be this cheesy person who falls in love, but I'm happy to say that I got to marry my best friend. That's the way it should be. I always liked that we got married because we have more fun together than is imaginable, ALL of the TIME, NON-STOP! Okay, maybe our lives aren't that exciting, but ours was a friendship that we didn't want to end. It's nice to not be in a relationship that you get the point where you either 'break-up or get married' because you got to that point in it all. I used to think that's how it had to be. You just dated long enough that there is either no point to dating anymore, or you should just get married because you have been dating so long. *ugg..I'm so glad I don't have to date anymore. Sorry for everyone out there that has to do that still. Uggg..again.* Being Mrs. B is great. That's the bottom line. I'm happy to be married, and those are words I never thought I would say.

Now for the personal thanks:

Trigirl82: You're getting your own thank-you blog still...just haven't written it yet...but thanks for all of your work and patience with everyone's opinions that weekend. You're a good bridesmaid. The kind that I don't even talk behind your back about. HA! We all know I'm joking...right? Well...anyway... You are faithful and showed up when and where you were supposed to. Your quiet, yet strong and menacing presence was powerful the entire weekend and I thank you for that. (I have a way with words huh?) Thanks for getting the bug off of my booty. Oh wait a minute...

Natalie: Your lesbian antics throughout the weekend were dirty and disgusting. I don't know what makes you think I'm that kind of girl but knock it off. He he. Thanks for coming all the way to Washington to see me get married. You perhaps had to see it with your own eyes to make sure it really happened and that's okay. At least you came. I never get tired of you, even when you try to spoon me at night. Thanks for driving me around in the HHR and making the weekend very entertaining. Hopefully we can live near each other some day....although that is not likely going to happen for us. Thanks for getting the bug off my booty. Oh wait a minute...

Mule: Your expertise in handling cheesecake is very apparent. My attempts at directing the single ladies your way apparently failed, but I hope you had fun anyway. I'm glad you came...even if you did have to ride with my cousin ;-). Thanks for getting the bug off my booty. Oh wait a minute...


Brother: Thanks for marrying us. Thanks for running last minute errands for me. Thanks for telling me to kiss a boy. That is the first time...and probably last. Thanks for your words of wisdom. If I could remember them, I'm sure they were great. Thanks for getting the bug off my booty. Oh wait a minute...I guess you have a good excuse.

Sister-In-Law: Thanks for being my matron of honor. Thank you for the last minute errands and flower opinions. A voice of sanity at a time when I needed it. Thank you for the spa party with all of the girls. It was fun. I appreciate all of your work. Thanks for being married to my brother. Thanks for getting the bug off of my booty. I think you were the one who actually ended up getting it off right?




My Cousins: You know who you are...yeah you two....thanks for all of your help that week. Everything from getting me home from ironman and out of bed the next day, to running errands and helping with flowers or food or cleaning or playing with Madison. All of it was SO appreciated. I wish I would have made you bridesmaids, but know that I really appreciate everything that you did to help me. You guys are great. I wish I lived closer to you...or that I was filthy rich and could come see you whenever.

BoySmile: Thanks for everything you did to get everything to look so nice and put together up there. Thanks for helping with all of the planning from invitations to rentals we both know that you planned this wedding, not me. :) Thanks for that. Thanks for marrying me and being my best friend. I'm glad we have a lot of fun together. I hope this paragraph is making the rest of my friends throw up a little in their mouths. I love you. You looked good too.

I think that's it. The day was a bit of a blur. My only regret is that I didn't get to talk to people more. There were so many people there that I didn't even get to say hi to that I haven't seen in forever. Oh well, I'll just have to put forth more of an effort to be a better friend. (I'm obviously lonely because I don't usually talk like this. What a dork I am.)

THANKYOU to everyone! Your help does not go unnoticed. If you ever need help with your weddings call me. I will serve cheesecake, put together flowers, make signs with sharpies (my favorite thing to do!), or even be your guestbook attendant. I won't sing though. That's just not okay.

*Oh, and if someone ended up with an extra curling iron or two purple Urban Decay eyeshadow primers...those are mine. I only want the eye shadow primers back. They are both brand new.*
