So I somehow managed to do it. I managed to get Sasha to escape/postpone her responsibilities long enough to watch two of her friends get married. I flew into California, grabbed her, handed her a plane ticket and told her we were going to Russia. I didn't give her a choice...because if I had she would have said her responsibilities were too great, and she couldn't just leave, and blah blah blah. But she's working herself to death, and to watch the woman I love do that to herself is killing me, so I pretty much kidnapped her and forced her to come.
We got in late last night, and checked into the hotel. Sasha slept for pretty much the entire plane ride, as well as in a seat waiting for the baggage claim, and in the car on the way to the hotel. Not wanting to wake her, I gave the bags to the porter and then carried her up to the room, trying my hardest not to wake her.
And she didn't wake until I lay her on the bed, her eyes coming open just partly, smiling at me sleepily.
"Hey you," I whispered down at her, stroking her hair lightly.
"Hey," she smiled again, nuzzling into my hand. "How long did I sleep."
"About 20 hours now," I grinned as her eyes went wide. "I guess you were tired."
"Guess so," she murmered, and then stretched and looked up at me and said "Well...I'm not tired now.", pulling me down to her with one fluid movement.
And...then she was done sleeping. I guess weddings have a weird effect on us.
All that being said, CONGRATULATIONS ELENA AND ANDREI!!!! You two are absolutely perfect together, and I'm glad we could be here to help celebrate your special day.
