Under the Wire (Tomorrow Is Another Day...)

Under the Wire

I almost caved and just said a big screw you to NaBloPoMo. I figured it had been a long enough day with enough stress and I really didn't need to stay up for another 15 minutes to type this. But then I realized that as much as it sucked that my dress wasn't totally finished when we went to pick it up at the tailor's and then they wouldn't press it so we spent over an hour driving from dry cleaner to dry cleaner trying unsuccessfully to find someone who could press it by tomorrow, and then discovery that someone was trying to rearrange certain parts of the ceremony at our rehearsal, and then taking far longer to get ready for the dinner than we expected and showing up 45 minutes late only to discover that they'd been HOLDING THE SERVING OF DINNER UNTIL WE ARRIVED (deep breath) it all worked out in the end.

My mom was able to press the dress, the alterations were completed in the end (although they will be hearing from us), my fabulous friend Carolyn successfully made the flight in, the ceremony will be reverting back to the originally scheduled course of events tomorrow when it counts, and although we were late for dinner the dancing and spending time with family and friends was fantastic. Plus my dress and shoes were awesome.

So, on that note, I'm going to wash my face, go to bed, and when I wake up in 9 hours it will be my wedding day.

Unbelievable!

Congratulations and I'll think of you all day tomorrow!

I didn't even sign up for NaBloPoMo and was thinking I'd skip it when Ace was all, "Hey! It's 10:30! Have you posted??"

"No, I don't really care that much."

"But you made it this far! Post something! Anything! Tell people to avoid that movie we just saw!"

So I did just that. To bring this comment full circle, it was Margot at the Wedding. I hope Nicole Kidman is not there to ruin your special day - I hope everything is perfect. You'll be beautiful, I know that much.

You guys are allowed to show up late to dinner!

I'm so glad your mom was able to press the dress, that the alterations did get done (give them hell when you have time!), and that the ceremony will proceed according to your plan! I'll be praying and keeping my fingers crossed that no one else tries to mess with your day tomorrow!

And I'm soooo excited for you for tomorrow!!!!!!
