I got my nails done (I got one false nail glued to my bitten down ring finger);
I got my hair done (I brushed it);
I had a party (I chose to stay by myself in my ma’s new house);
I prepared my outfit (I put my blue silk suit onto a bed so it wouldn’t get creased and wished I could just wear jeans);
I slept fitfully because I had a recurring nightmare (that Anthony would evaporate);
I said thank you to the air.

And such a wonderful story continues.. and brings a smile to my face… what a wedding preparation…
Never been a girly type so I found it all a bit confounding!
That would be about my speed too.
I should have taken a couple of beers to my ma’s empty house – oh well!
That last line brought me to tears…
Bless
xx
Yes, that wedding did have rather a tumultuous prelude –
Good lord Julie… I’d love to read the rest. Why does it sound a tad ominous to me? 😉
Ha! You are probably right.
*smile …. understand you where all exhausted after all that work up to your wedding day.
well I was!
I love the love story. It’s amazing how you remember all the details.
Funny thing is I didn’t remember the details until I started writing about it!
Fun!
Sort of!
This was fantastic 🙂
I wrote thank you notes all day before bathing and walking down the aisle. At least I smelled good. 🙂
How come you were writing thank you notes before your wedding? You must have been very organized!
The small town was generous to us. I just turned 19, a baby, and had nothing.
How lovely! And how interesting!
How interesting was what?
Well, you were just a kid yourself and you had a kid and the town embraced you and it sounds almost like a novel.
Oh dear, I hope I haven’t put my stupid foot in my mouth!
Bahahahaha…you’re being paranoid. I was just asking. lol
I am good at paranoid – was really worried – oh I really need to see the shrink again – haha!
Oh my, you make me remember my wedding. My husband to be had to borrow a suit from a friend so he didn’t have to wear jeans – which he would have preferred. LOL What a love story.
Glad it’s not just me!
Evaporate?!!! I don’t think that’s ever happened to anyone in my dreams before. Only in real life…
Aha!
memories – some so delicate and wonderful; others–not so much
So true!
You know I don’t remember much about the day before my wedding ok in truth I remember nothing not a single thing……………….lol
That is definitely an LOL!!!
A kindred spirit – not a big fan of fuss and ceremony 🙂
I have been to so many weddings where enormous money is paid for enormous fuss and a year later they are divorced anyway. I vividly remember one bride saying to me a week after her wedding that her whole self was so invested in the actual wedding that afterwards, when she had to face marriage, she was unprepared.
I can picture now through your words… I can see a beautiful young lady! And this love!
There is always emotional or romantic touches in your story… Thanks and Love, nia
I still have my suit too.
But what happened when you walked away after the pre-nuptial contract debacle?
100 apologies after which I forgave him!
😀
I think the day before my wedding I went to the Zoo. Sounds like me.
Yes that’s you for sure!
