I feel good about how today went
That was indeed a very extremely pleasant wedding. I did rather enjoy it. Just spot on. The bride was gorgeous, the groom dashing (despite what the photos say), the parents not disappointed(I think), and the guests happy as a swarm of little bees in a pod.
Ok, did not go off without a hitch, but the hitches were minor and I don't think anyone but us noticed them. And the good happy bits were very nice.
Things I learned:
- A wedding is too big to fit in one brain. There is no way one human can remember everything. I doubt two can hold all the data it takes to pull this off.
- A wedding can be a huge financial hit, and I don't mean in the obvious way. I mean in the "whew, it's over... I'll just finally sit down and relax... Oh what's this on the chair.. oh it's the water, electricity, and credit card bills I put there two months ago and haven't had time to even open yet. Oh. And what's this? Council tax. They're taking us to court! Fun!" kind of way.
- Wedding rings go clack against the banister when you walk down stairs. And against tables too.
- It's worth it. It was so much fun, even with all the trouble of putting together. Everything is different now. In a good way.
Another thing I learned is that there is never enough time at the event to see everyone. So if anyone wants to hang out with the newlyweds, we'll be at B-Movie this Friday. Plans may include some sort of dinner (Much easier to make it to the club if we don't have to cook at home beforehand) first. Contact me if you want to join.
