It happens to everyone. A gift brought to your wedding reception doesn't have a card. There are no clues as to who bought it for you. Asking your guests, "Hey -- did you get me this?" is too awkward.
So to whoever brought the Rival Versaware Crockpot to the reception in a nice bag ... thank you! But thank-you cards are expected, and I've been very good about sending them out. So I feel pretty bad that someone isn't going to get a card. Maybe they'll realize it, contact me in a month and make sure I actually got the crockpot. (I did! And thank you, whoever you are!) Have you ever received an anonymous gift? What did you do about it? What should I do about it? Hello world! Our wedding was completely amazing. A yearish of hard work totally paid off, and I think everyone was really happy with the ceremony and reception. Now Matt and I are in Denver (stealing someone's Internet because ours isn't installed till Wednesday), setting up the apartment and getting used to the idea of being married.
But the wedding ....... so much fun! After months and months of planning, my big day has come and gone. There were no major freak-outs. There were no epic catastrophes. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky.
It. Was. Perfect. I thought I might come out of it feeling different, but no. I'm just the same old me with a different name and another ring on my finger. And I couldn't be happier about it. So as an old married lady who's been there and done that, I offer my Top Five Things You've Always Wanted to Know About Your Wedding but Were Afraid to Ask: For awhile. Just two very stressful days away from the big day. Part of me can't believe it's here; the other part of me is ready for it to be over. Neither is true, and there is lots to do, so I'll see you all on the other side. But I'll have a new name! Sometimes I read things on the Internet and try to pretend they're untrue simply because they're online. Hopefully your groom's exes aren't totally nuts like the women in that story, but the article does start good discussion on whether it's OK to put all of your wedding details for everyone to see. This is the age of self-importance where one thinks everyone wants to know everything they're doing ("Adrienne is making a pizza!" "Adrienne is catnapping."), but maybe there are some things that should be left unsaid. Too late for this girl, though! Five more days, friends. Just five more days. Thanks for all the little e-mails and messages of encouragement; I feel like I'm running a marathon! But I'm off to kickboxing -- yes, kickboxing, so watch out. GONNA GET MA-A-A-ARIED! Ladies (and maybe two gentlemen I know reading this), our Taylor has flown off to sunny San Diego to get married this Sunday. *alk;fglk;jadfhiyoaeriheahkler* Can you believe it's already here? I can hardly get over the fact that it seems like just yesterday we were talking about how we wished the big days would already come, and now they're knocking down our doors. Eek! Congratulations, Tizzle! Thanks to certain TV shows on other stations that highlight smooth moves on the dance floor, bear-hugging through Boyz II Men just won't cut it for our first dance. But I was so good at it! I could sway in one circle in the same spot for HOURS if I needed to.
But now I, and Matt, need to float on our feet in the middle of a crowd of 200. Ah! It was already hard enough narrowing down what song to dance to (hint: the King sings it), but we completely procrastinated on signing up for dance lessons. We thought we'd be paying for it, with our first lesson just 12 days before the big day, but our instructor is kinda awesome! My second left foot could soon be all right.
