I'm Back...as a Newlywed!

It's been about two months since my last post - getting last minute wedding details done, getting married, going on our honeymoon, going through post-wedding to-dos (logging gifts and storing them, picking out thank yous, etc), training for my second part-time job, etc, etc. But I've been looking forward to getting back to writing down moments, events...I find it easier to type up my thoughts than write it in my journal. I wish it were the other way around though - I'd love my great-grandchildren or something to have my thoughts on hand. I know that's something I would love from my ancestors. 

But enough of that tangent. My wedding. That has been on my mind for a year and a half. So much planning, details, so much of myself put into it. Now that it's over, people have been asking me if it feels funny or sad that I am no longer planning it. I have heard of people going through a kind of depression after a wedding, but I see it as just another big adventure. There's always something to plan...our finances, our first (small) dinner party, travels...there's always something I can do more to be a better wife...and I just love being with my husband. It's funny - now that I'm a wife, I totally feel more domestic lol - wanting to learn to cook more and better, keep the house tidier, etc. Perhaps there's some weird, innate urge to be the "perfect wife" or something lol, but it makes me very happy to be married to D.

Our wedding turned out so wonderful for us. Like any big event, there were some glitches here and there but honestly, on the day of, I felt so calm and relaxed. D was a big part of that for me. He took charge that weekend completely. He had always had a hand in planning the wedding (after all, it was his too), but didn't want me to worry about anything at all. That's why I felt so relaxed that I could enjoy that day because directing and planning is a great strength of his. That weekend, our chairs were delivered to the wrong location and the arch was the wrong arch so I had to make phone calls the morning of the wedding...but I thought it was kinda funny lol. It was raining and sprinkling right up until the ceremony (but it was worth it because apparently right when we were saying our vows, the clouds parted and the sun shined right on us - soooo many people came up to us just to tell us that lol). Being a Sunday evening, a lot of people left early and I felt many were in a rush so I felt kinda bad about that. I felt so bad about people waiting and stuff...I had the buffet so people could have seconds (I tried but because people were leaving, never really go a chance to eat my seconds...and it was amazing prime rib and roasted potatoes!) but not a lot of people did or they had to leave early. Oh well...it was beautiful to us, the decor turned out exactly as we planned, D and I had so much fun...it was just wonderful =). I can't wait to get the entirety of our photos back =)

 
I love talking about our wedding =P so if there's any questions about the food, the dress, the decor, the planning, etc, just ask! =)
