the wedding

i wouldn't have changed a thing…not the heat or even the five minute shower just as dinner was beginning (and we were all under cover). it was a day filled with perfection. gathered around us were the people we love, standing before me was the man i love. i floated through the day…on white flip flops in a dress suited for a princess. it was bliss. i felt beautiful in every way…just as a bride should. each moment flowed into the next…i never stopped going. deep into the night i was buzzing with the ecstasy of it all. i laughed, i was moved to tears, i felt enveloped by love. what more can one ask on their wedding day? as i danced with jason to tom waits (yeah!!) we laughed together over nothing at all…laughed because this was all happening…all unfolding…because the great day had come, and we were there together. day flowed perfectly into night. drunken lawyers took to the pool…oh so foxy bridesmaids to the spa. hours passed in slow motion. i took in each moment…deep into my heart…to warm me as winter comes…to warm me all the days of this life. life is oh so good. i promise photos for those who want to see them…once they are online i will post a link.

tripp managed a brief moment with me as dinner started. to see him there…after traveling so far touched me deeply. and in his eyes i saw his own wedding day…and knew that one day i too would corner him for a brief moment amid the craziness of his wedding. what a nice thought. and the story of his late night adventures (if that is the right word) made his stay all the funnier. ahh tripp you do make me laugh!
