We did it! :o)
It's all done and finished and official, and everything!
I'm someboady's wife!!
And now, a couple of days later, and the boy and I keep looking at each other and going... hmmm... that's it?
lol... It's funny... it was a great party, and it was all very emotional, and wonderful, and lovely... but it was also a little anti-climactic... I guess it would be different if we hadn't already been together for five and a half years, and had we not been living together for two and a half of those years... It's actually kind of nice, because it shows that in our hearts, and the way we are together, we already thought of ourselves as permanently bound to each other, and completely committed... it's just that now we have some shiny rings and some paper (and lots of pretty pictures) to prove it!
Everything turned out pretty fabulous, I must note... other than it being only about eight degrees outside, and deciding to move the ceremony inside at the last minute, everything was perfect.
The room turned out beautifully... the favours and the decor went over really well... the food was delicious... the staff were great... everything was great!
My dad was so cute... he welled up when he walked me in... and he sounded like he was going to crack when he said his line about me having his, and all my families' blessings... and he barely got through his speech... and the way he was looking at me during our dance... I had a really hard time not crying!! lol
And Eric... that boy! I don't think I'll ever forget the look on his face while we were saying our vows... (even though he did mess up and start reading mine first!! lol) He looked so good in his tux, and in his Barong... it was so much fun, rolling around the grounds in a golf cart with him for our pictures... and dancing with him... and seeing him so happy!
It was all wonderful... I don't think it could have gone any better... really!
And I got so many compliments, I'm surprised my head didn't swell! There were quite a few people who told me that it was the best wedding they had ever been to... from how beautiful, and meaningful the ceremony was, down to how much fun they were having... That made me so happy! I'm so glad that everyone really seemed to have a good time!!
It's funny... I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself now, with nothing to plan... I was making cracks at the wedding about starting to plan our first anniversary party soon... ;o)

We're at less than 48 hours to go! This week has been quite busy, and quite stressful at times... I definitely pull my share of late-night wedding prep extravaganzas... between carving pumpkins and wiring and wrapping flowers for bouquets, to tying ribbons on programs and place cards, I have developed the claw!!
I can barely open my right hand... I think I'm going to go soak it in some nice hot water now...
*groan*
Anyway... here are some of the fruits of my labour:

I am finally done with the bonbonieres! I have wrapped, ribboned, and tagged my last little box of m&ms!
That's one more thing done off the wedding checklist... very exciting!
I think they turned out quite well:

I like having a day off... a day to myself to do all the things I've neglected to do recently... it's nice...
I had planned on sleeping in this morning, but one of the cats had other plans for me... I was woken/awakened/whicever of those is the right word this morning just after 8 by the sound of crashing glasses... I bolted out of bed and ran downstairs yelling the boy's name, expecting to find him in some state of distress... only to find an empty (and freezing cold, I might add) house, with a bunch of cutlery and dishes on the floor in front of the sink, and very guilty looking kitten on top of the fridge.
It would appear that she ran across the counter where the boy had piled the dishes neatly for me to wash this morning... arg... thankfully nothing was broken.
so... I grumbled a bit... called the boy on his cell to see if he did indeed go into work early (he did)... then watched some tv... ate a toasted tuna sandwich for breakfast... checked some emails... yadda yadda... and now I'm doing wedding stuff... calling seamstresses and photographers mostly... it's getting somewhat tedious, but must be done...
reminder to self: I also need to clean and tidy the house today, because the boy's sister and nephew are dropping by for a visit tomorrow.
so... this was a very boring post, but I just felt like taking a little break... so yeah... I'll get back to it now...
oh... on a side note... my sweater smells great! I don't know what detergent the boy has switched to, but it's fantastic! I can't stop smelling it... hehe... annnnyway...
getting on with it...
