wildflowersoulWowza. We're married! Before I write a whole bunch, I just have to get schmoopy for a second, bear with me. I used to be so staunchly anti-marriage (archaic institution, don't need a piece of paper to prove my love, nobody ties Jenny down, blah blah blah), and didn't think this wedding thing would be a big deal, but sharing a day with our family and friends that was dedicated to our love was so emotionally powerful. I get the whole wedding thing now. It is just so wonderful to have a big party and see almost all of the people you love gathered in one place. /end sap.
Friday was pretty stressful, as people who were coming to town then had a myriad of issues with the lovely Maine Turnpike, which continued to suck ass after it hassled us on Thursday. The tent company messed up an electrical wire for the septic system, leading to a wonderful septic tank crisis. But the rehearsal dinner went fabulously well.
The event went off almost without hitches, and those that happened were minor and/or funny. My bridesmaids (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tenillypo, doplar, incandes_flower and mrs_muffin) deserve huge props for saving me from the giant spider that was crawling up my dress when I was walking down the aisle. Not to mention huge props for everything else they did all weekend, from calming me down to lacing up my dress. The guys (komos, jawalter, cosmicserpent, and OT, who may have an LJ of which I'm unaware) did an awesome job doing their groomsmenly stuff as well. There were toasts that almost made me cry, there was dancing, there were cupcakes, and there was an after party that was so much fun I was sad to leave, but by 1 am, I was too exhausted to continue. spacedthekeys did a fantastic job dj-ing. There was special beer thanks to bushidokelt, komos and Josh. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed with feeling so much love and happiness, I couldn't have asked for a better time. I know there are lots of folks I'm not naming by LJ names, too, you are all wonderful and fantastic too!
The Ware Street Inn was super cute, and they made us heart-shaped blueberry pancakes this morning. I suppose since we had such a hellish time getting up to Maine, it had to be bookended by a hellish time coming back. The trip back was almost good, if a little long, but when were about a mile away from home, we were side-swiped by some jerk who wasn't paying attention to the road because of his kids in the backseat. I went to pick up an accident report form from the Somerville police and the police guy I talked to was so mean to me that he made me cry. So now I have to get the report filled out, get several copies of it, and deal with Thrifty in the morning when I return the car, who I fully expect to hassle me to no end about this. I haven't been in a car accident since high school, and I get in one the day after our wedding. Dumb luck.
