First blog since becoming a married man. Wow, that is a crazy line to write and one that I wasn’t ever even sure I would write but I can honestly say that I have no doubts about the decisions I have made in the last five months or so. I don’t know how many people can say that they met someone who totally changed their life and made them see things that they never thought they would see, but I did, and honestly I hope everyone in the world can meet and have the same feelings happen to them that have happened to me. It’s the best feeling in the world knowing that I never have to worry about being alone again and that the person I have next to me feels the exact same way about me as I do her.
The wedding was a great experience but I’m so happy it’s all over now. It’s such a stressful thing to have to go through but when the day actually arrives you realize that half the shit you were so worried about didn’t matter at all because you don’t have time to worry. I was so busy the days leading up that I didn’t have time to be nervous or think twice about it, which I wouldn’t have done anyway but still it was such a blur of a day and such a great great day. The service was super small with just friends and family and seriously, everyone that dressed up made it such a blast. It’s so much easier to be married when all the people staring at you are dressed in costumes and look even sillier than you feel standing in front of them. We told the preacher to cut out all the bs and I think it took like 5 minutes for the actual ceremony and that was it. We greeted everybody and then proceeded to the reception. And oh yes, our photographer was pretty much the greatest thing ever. She was just like a director with how she wanted us to be positioned. If she wanted us to lay a certain way, she would lay a certain way to show us. A total pro. Below are a couple snaps she took that prove just how amazing she is! I hope I’m not supposed to get a clearance or anything before I post them, if so, Britt, I’m sorry but seriously, don’t be mad that I’m showing off your awesome work!
The reception was a blur just like the rest of the day. Lots of fun, dancing, talking, laughing, and realizing how great it is to have friends and family who care enough to spend the evening with you. Pretty awesome. Adam gave a good speech about how to live with me. Which was mostly all untrue… btw, if you’re reading this Adam, I want that piece of paper you wrote it on for the scrapbook that I will be putting together in the coming years. Adam caught the garter, some girl I don’t really know caught the bouquet and we shoved cake in each others face even though Stefanie said not to, she did it to me first so I had to do it back… right?
My parents did an amazing job decorating everything and making it halloweeny and it really was just a pretty, pretty, pretty, good night. Again, thanks everyone who came out or sent well wishes or helped out in anyway. You are all super great and Stefanie, I love you.
PDF people: Maybe I will be around more often, maybe I won’t. I’m still working on editing the first podcast of our second run of them so yeah, maybe you will be able to listen to it by next year sometime. :)
