Isn't it Bliss?



The wedding bells have rung and TJ and I are Married. You will never guess all the trauma we (or I) had to go through to actually get the show on the road. Saturday morning, December 17, 2005 I woke up like 50 times. I seriously couldn't sleep. As if there was something that I should be worried about. An omen, perhaps? So finally, it's like 5:50am so I get up and just do little things waiting for my mom, my dad, and my sister to wake up to so we could leave for the temple. I pranced around, did some yoga, and finally it was about 7:30. So I semi got ready, but I didn't have anything with me to get ready with, namely my dress. So 8 am rolls around and it hits me that I am not going to make it on time to get all ready, my mom is still asleep, and by now I am just freaking out. So I just grabbed my sister's keys and headed off all by myself. I was ancy, anxious, and snappy. It wasn't until I heard the beloved "Christmas Shoes" song that I realized that there was peace in the world, and that everything would be fine.



All was well until I walked into the temple, alone, my car still running in the driveway, and I tried to frantically explain why I was all alone for my wedding, and why my mom was gone. This didn't come out at all, I think it sounded something like (sniff sniff, big breath in and out) "My mom, and my car well,I've got to Oh my, where's TJ? Where's Joey? She's supposed to do my hair." Of course none of that came out either. It was all basically sobs. So, TJ showed up and we sat down with our reccommends and our information. THe lady asked us for our Marriage license and certificate. By this time I realized that my day, my wedding, was ruined. TJ looks at me and demands that I had the certificate. He was so adamant and I couldn't get a word in edgewise, and I broke into hyperventalating. So I was rushed away from everything. After people ransacked through my belongings, through my apartment, and through everything of mine, the certificate was at TJ's apartment where I saw it last.

Then my mom showed up and it was all okay.

Well, sortof. I got ready and our wedding was only minutes off schedule. After most of the guests left a friend kindly mentioned to the officiator of our wedding that he forgot some important parts of the ceremonial words, so we had to do it all over again.

And finally we were off. The end.
