(no subject)
i had a pretty busy weekend...and now I have a new stepmom and stepbrother. my mom got in a huge fight with me yesterday, also, but we won't talk about that yet.
I went home Thursday night and got some stuff ready for the wedding, and i got up Friday morning around 11 which was really nice, no class :) So Kris finally made it over around 2 and we got him all dressed up lol he didn't have any dress clothes so he borrowed some of Gary's stuff. We went to the rehearsal dinner and i find out that the wedding is going to be outside (yeah, great. it's 40 outside. and i'm in a dress.) so we're all sitting out there being freezing cold...it was just wonderful. i got to walk down the aisle by myself tho which was kinda cool...i would have rather had Kris escort me but oh well, it's Linda's wedding. so yeah the rehearsal was freezing and I couldn't feel my toes when I went back inside. We went to eat and the food was freaking awesome - we were all really happy and really full by the end of the night. Linda handed out gifts and she gave me this really awesome necklace - it's a charm thing shaped like a diamond with a little real diamond at the bottom - and the chain is shiny..lol it's really pretty. but idiot me left it on the table!!! so saturday as soon as i got there i asked the lady at the counter and someone (thank god) had picked it up...if Linda would have found out that I lost it she would have flipped out!!! lol so yeah that was scary.
Saturday was nuts. We got up at 7 (after not going to bed until 2:30) so i was dead all day...had to be at my hair place in poland at 8:30...Robert was awesome as usual - all the ladies that work in the salon with him were making fun of him for being in so early - he made an exception for me lol..so we left there around 9:30 and got to the place around 10:20 or so, i went back to the dressing room and hung out with Linda and Kathy after we were all dressed up - Linda wasn't allowed to be seen by Dad hehe it was funny trying to get her in and out of places, we had to keep telling my dad to go somewhere else so he wouldn't see her. it was really funny. we got about a bazillion pictures taken (the bridal party has flash bulbs burned into their eyes by the end of the day i swear) and then it was time to go - we walked down the aisle to Leo Kottke (if you don't know who that is, shame on you - he's an awesome acousitc guitar player) and then Linda came down - my Dad seemed to be going crazy :) They were so happy to get married, they're great for each other...even if I don't agree with Linda sometimes she makes my dad happy and that's all that matters. so it was a good wedding, and even though we were a little cold outside we survived and Dad and Linda are happy! yay for them. ok enough sappy stuff lol..
the reception was fun, I got to dance with Kris after I danced with the wedding party so that was cool...he was video camera man for my dad and i swear my dad's going to have a billion close-up shots of me...damn kid. lol so yeah we just hung out and ate some more good food, talked to Dave (my new stepbro!) and Ferrah, his wife..they're really cool people and I'm glad they're part of my family now :)
Sunday was bad. My mom and I got in this huge fight cause she was being completely irrational about stuff...she was complaining about Kris not cleaning up after himself and bitching at me for it, it was ridiculous. And he borrowed Gary's tux for the wedding and we forgot the pants at Linda's house so my mom was totally pissed off...and I flipped out on her cause I was tired of her bitching about stuff that I had absolutely no control over - and then she throws in Do you know how much I've done for you and your group of friends in the past three years? and I was just like wtf does that have to do with anything...she got all pissed off cause of my attitude and it just sucked, I ended up crying and then I just left cuz I was so sick of everything. It made me feel like she didn't want Kris there, and it sucked because she's one of the only people that hasn't had some kind of problem with me being with Kris. It really upset me because she's usually really supportive of whatever I want to do and now she's making me feel like everything would just be ok if I was single again. *sigh* whatever. I'm getting pissed just talking about it =|
So..fun weekend I guess =\
People don't understand that Kris and I are happy and nobody is going to change what we are. I don't seem to understand why it's such a big deal that I'm not still single 16-year-old Rachel. I'm a different person and I'm starting to wonder why everyone is so against it.
