that was our wedding. the weather was perfect, the setting at my parents’ house was beautiful, all of dad’s decorations were lovely. all the attendants looked so good, and amy fixed their hair and it was beautiful, and they all looked so nice, and the men (and boys) were so dashing in their tuxes…
and my dress zipped! zipped right up. the reception, too, was great, the motor boat club looked remarkable, the food was more than i’d hoped for.
perfect.
i’m so tired right now (why does it seem that i’m always so tired when i’m typing here?), and i have to finish packing for hawaii and then we have to drive to st. louis.
and then…maybe i’ll have a chance to write when i’m in hawaii, not sure how, but you never know. i’ll see a computer somewhere and i’ll borrow it and type. maybe on the beach. friends told me they have bars on all the beaches, so surely they also have free wifi.
i was so glad that people made it from out of town for the wedding. it was great to see my friend kelly, and she went to the lincoln museum and of COURSE she thought it was amazing, and Thad made it even though he had to leave DC at six in the morning and then had to wait around at o’hare airport for hours.
and of course it was great to see christine and paolo, and she’s always a calming influence when i’m trying to get ready but am kind of crabby. yesterday when i was supposed to be putting on makeup etc, i was just TIRED AND CRABBY. but it all worked out.
brendan and jerri were also here with adorable lucy. they were here for about a minute, in time to come to the wedding and reception and then they left early this morning. nice to see them however fleetingly.
kevin’s mom and dad, sister and brother-in-law, and my aunt herrry and uncle jimmy were also present, and kevin’s niece cara was an adorable flower girl and i can’t WAIT to put up some pictures! but i have to wait. i know there were many many pictures taken but no time to download them now.
aunt sandy gave us a picture she’d painted of Mollie and it’s SO CUTE! i’m going to put up a picture of that soon. very soon.
must pack, time is running out..
ok then,
just married grace.
