She took one look at me squinting in the faint light in the living room and offered to work the store for me today.
I got slapped hard by a migraine yesterday that hasn't fully faded away yet. Part post excitement let down headache and part standard February migraine, I'd say. Whatever, it was a real doozy.
I got razzed by my brother online yesterday, too, because I called my parents to tell them I was married, and then changed things on facebook. LOL! I forgot to call my brother and warn him! His common-law wife saw it first on facebook. Oops! So I predictably got joshing grief from my brother before I got congrats. :) Plus the grief for putting the pressure on him to get married...I told my sister-in-law not to hold her breath, but not to give up hope, either. He may come around.
I really, really do not know how anyone does the year or more planning leading up to a big wedding. I guess my hat's off to them for being able to do it? I don't understand it, but I admire the stamina. 3 days was plenty for me. And there was nothing to plan, either. We got dressed, we went, we got married.
There is the beginning of a family legend, though-we walked to City Hall through a blizzard to get married. :D It's half a block and we would have walked in any weather, but it sounds all romantically dedicated, doesn't it?
It wasn't until we were leaving City Hall that I remembered my camera was in my pocket, though. D'oh! No pics. Oh, well. It's not like I'm going to forget.
And here's the song that would have been the First Dance song for us:
Sunshine On Leith-The Proclaimers
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
Sorrow Sorrow Sorrow Sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
You saw it, You claimed it
You touched it, You saved it
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I'm worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the Chief, puts Sunshine On Leith
I'll thank him for his work
And your birth and my birth.
Not the best video, since it's concert footage, but here's the song live:

I love their heavy accents. I hope you danced.
(hugs for the migraine)
More congrats. Skrykey, I wish you only the best as a wifey. :)
eeegads, migraines... plague of the devil. they leave you drained for days, too... (hugs and advil)
when did you apply for your marriage license though? and did you need an interview and stuff?
here, it takes a few procedures before you can get married at city hall. Bleh. We're attacking the first one in a couple of weeks...
Wow! Come to Ontario, TD, lol!
We got the license right before the ceremony. Takes about a half hour. The interview was with the City Clerk who wanted to know what type of thing we wanted in the ceremony.
Otherwise, there's no waiting needed anymore. Get the license and be married on the same day.
Maybe that's not such a good thing... :D
We just needed a copy of Bear's certificate of divorce, and our ID.
But did you dance? Inquiring mind(s) need(s) to know! :D
Wow!! Why is everything so damn complicated in Quebec?! grraaaah!
LOL, Prin-we haven't had a chance yet and I can't find my CD right now. Figures.
