Oy...
This was/is the second-most emotional day I have ever had*. It has been exhausting.
We nearly postponed the wedding. Long story; don't want to share it with anyone; suffice it to say that every relationship takes WORK. Sometimes the labour is light labour, and sometimes you have days like today. The only analogue for today's experience for the both of us is chain gang under hot sun.
*Sadly, the day my son was born is neither the first nor second most emotional day of my life, although it might be third - I was too tired from the beginning to have anything but instinct... my normal human serious emotions kicked in during the second week, after I finally managed to catch up on sleep. Does that make me a bad mother?
