( pics and stuff )
The ceremony went pretty well. It was hot, but at least it didn't rain. Since Tim had to work Friday night, we didn't have a real rehearsal. Only problem was when the pastor asked who was giving me away. (I walked down by myself.) No one answered. My dad didn't show up, although I wasn't planning for him to give me away even if he did. Finally my sister spoke up and said her mother and I. Thank goodness for her. Otherwise everything went smoothly. The ring bearer (my nephew) was complaining and the flower girl needed to pee, but that's normal for kids in a wedding. The rose garden looked beautiful. I was pleased with the flowers. I bought them at Whole Foods and made the bouquets myself. No problems at the reception. I don't have a good picture of the cake yet. It was $80 from Target and surprisingly good. A lot of my flowers weren't blooming yet (like they are now), but my yard looked ok anyway. Here are a few pics, mostly self explanatory. The lady in pink is my mom and would probably kill me if she knew I put her picture online. The last one is my sister signing the marriage license. I don't know why some of this is underlined.

Wedding Updates: Last night I had a dream that everything went wrong with the wedding. I was glad to wake up from that.
I got my dress altered for only $15! It's still a little big, but I think I can make it work now. I need to find out where to get our marriage license and finalize what food we're having. I wanted to repaint the railing on my porch and refinish my cabinets, but I don't think I'm going to have time for all that. I still need to finish the yard work.
I'm almost done with work, just 2 meetings tomorrow, and that's it so I'll have more time soon. Gotta work out extra too. I had a good workout tonight, but I ate a lot of junk food at a work party. Cake, ice cream, and a brownie! Ugh! I hate when I do that.

It's only a month until the wedding. That and work is why I haven't been on lj as much lately. Work is busy with all the transition meetings for preschool children going to kindergarten next year. The wedding is almost planned. I thought a small wedding would be simple, but there's more to do than I expected. I still have to make a decision about food, decide what I'm doing with my hair (veil or no veil?), and finish planting flowers in my yard. Still a little honeymoon planning to do too. I think that's it. Hope everyone is good.

We might have some icy roads in the morning. I hope not. I'd love to have some snow but not ice. Either way, it's going to be miserably cold and rainy.
The good news: UNC won and Duke lost last night! That's all it takes to make a good night for me. Also good I ordered a wedding dress last weekend. Now to plan the ceremony and the honeymoon and get the ring. My mom actually seems excited about the wedding. She thinks we should have it in my front yard and has all these ideas for decorations and flowers. Anyone ever been to a wedding at home?
