Is it going to be like one of those mornings in 4th grade where you know you have an all day field-trip to downtown Portland and you get to ride the max and listen to a symphony? You're so excited that you don't sleep well and wake up way before your mom comes into your room? And you know it's going to be a long day so you want to eat eggs or something sturdy like that for breakfast, but you're so excited that your stomach can't take much so you pack a granola bar for brunch?
Or is it more like one of those typical mornings where you wake up like it's any other day and then when you're brushing your teeth you remember that you have an afternoon assembly! One where people come and dress up and do skits about not littering and saying no to drugs! And, even though you didn't remember the assembly until now, you're so excited that you get ready really quickly because you want to get to school as quickly as possible because the afternoon assembly can't come fast enough! Maybe it's neither? Just like any other day? Or one of those dreaded test finals days? Those mornings where you wake up and remember you'r supposed to do an oral report on the Vatican and you aren't ready at all? I hate to throw that one in there because I'm like to be optimistic, but I know a handful of people who don't like the public speaking thing, so it could be a daunting thought for them.
I really can't imagine it, and I'm really curious. If there are married ladies out there who want to chime in about how their 'morning of' was, please do! Could you sleep? Could you eat? On a scale of 1 to 10 how nervous were you? Or was it, "let's get this the heck over with! I've got plane tickets to somewhere!"

I remember it reminding me of opening night of a show in hs. The rehearsal dinner felt like dress rehearsal, hair and makeup early in the morning the day of, and So nervous but so excited, and such a build up that you want to get it done wi...th because so much preparation went into it, but you want it to last forever. As for eating, my appetite and stomach were not right a week before and a few days into the honeymoon, just like plays and musicals in high school haha. Best tip someone gave me... after the vows and kiss, when you turn around for the exit, take a few moments to look at everyone, taking a mental picture... because everything will be such a blur, and the pause gives you a nice beautiful moment that you can actually recall later. :-)See More

Another one, this one makes me jealous:
ReplyDeleteJill Gilbertson I just remember it being so dang much fun (of course it was almost 25 years ago, so there ya' go!). I remember sleeping in, eating a big breakfast, swimming in Brad's parents' pool, and being really relaxed. Everybody was doing all the things that needed to be done and we had a blast!
