i'm married now
oh yeah, i got married last sunday! it was pretty awesome. everything turned out perfectly and cory and i couldn't have been happier. as whitney wrote in our guestbook, i don't think anyone had ever seen us hug and kiss that many times before. we act like normal friends around each other most of the time and never outwardly show our affection, but now that we're married we do sneak kisses in public more often. :]
and if you were at the wedding, boy, were you in for a surprise! cory and i secretly took dance lessons and busted out with a fun dance to the beatles' "i've just seen a face." cory does a really great job of leading so we didn't bother to choreograph the dance. we just practiced our moves at the gilah press studio over and over again until we had 'em down. see the dance here!
i contributed a follow-up guest list to ramsey's upcoming zine (in her previous issue i wrote a list of all the crazy thoughts i was having as the wedding got closer and closer). this list is called "my favorite parts of the wedding:"
• seeing all of my old high school and college friends in one place
• the mustard yellow peep-toe pumps i wore with my dress
• our first dance. we took lessons in secret and completely took everyone by surprise
• all of the beatles songs played at key points of the wedding
• the bird that was singing and chirping during our outdoor ceremony
• the makeshift photobooth our photographer helped us put together
• reading our vows to each other. i could barely get through mine because i was crying so hard. i also cried the whole way down the aisle
• dancing like crazy with all of cory’s family members and our friends
• the burgundy-colored school bus that brought guests to the wedding
• our friend mike singing ice, ice baby to cory during the reception
• sitting at the head table, watching the guests laughing and talking and realizing how loved i felt at that very moment
our friends and family have lots of pictures online already. check out the photo page of our website to see 'em. i can't wait to see jocelyn and lea's professional shots.
we didn't really go on much of a mini-honeymoon since it started raining the day after our wedding (our big day was perfect though), but we did go on a duck boat tour of baltimore and eat lunch at lexington market. we also celebrated my 24th birthday last night at my favorite restaurant, the bicycle. it was delicious, as usual.
so, yeah. married life isn't much different but it is a cool feeling. still gotta tackle that name change paperwork and finish off the thank you notes.
