so, the wedding is over. as predicted it did end up going too fast, it was over so soon. but i suppose i should start at the beginning. thursday night was the last dress fitting, and this time it actually fit. friday all us beautiful bridesmaids (oh, and the bride) got up terribly early and did all the decorating for the reception and a bit in the church, that quite literally took all day. friday night we had the rehearsal dinner. the rehearsal was supposed to take half an hour, it took over 2 hours instead! then we finally got to eat, and eventually around 11 i got back to my sisters after running around everywhere. we were so tired, but of course there was necessary packing to be done for the next day. in the middle of that i got a phone call from this great guy that i adore, and stayed up much too late talking to him, causing me to neglect doing some essential wedding stuff that we somehow lived without. got up at 5:30 yesterday morning, we got showers and finished getting stuff around, got to the hair place by 7. the hair and make-up was supposed to take 2 hours, ended up taking til quarter to 10, and i wasn't even that happy about how my hair turned out. they did have wonderful cranberry-blueberry muffins and coffee for us though, that was incredible. after that we got to the church and got into our painful dresses. the ceremony was beautiful, and i only cried the once, namely when my parents sang "I Will Be Here," which made me miss my man so much that i did in fact cry. i think that's probably wrong, that i only cried at my sister's wedding because i missed my boyfriend. the reception was a large blur involving food, people, bouquet tossing, car decorating, cake, a couple presents, and then it was over. after that liz and nick were leaving, and once again i was a bridesmaid left to help clean up. now i'm staying at liz's to clean up the mess we left, i'm a little behind schedule, meaning there are still a heck of a lot of dishes to be done. oh well.
the whole wedding thing made me think a lot though. as much as i want to be married sometimes, i'm also realizing i'm not ready for it. though gret and betsy seemed to think i should definitely catch the bouquet because i have a guy and i'm not planning on going to grad school. i didn't try for it though, too many joking questions that aren't always so joking. ah well. somehow i've done a lot of thinking about such things, but i can't really write any of it. i think i'm sort of out of it still, i haven't been sleeping much, to say the least. last night i was the one to fall asleep on the phone, my poor man.
