This is going to be a quick post and not really do any justice to the event but I felt it was important to at least do a short update.
Wedding happened on Friday the 13th as planned. That was about all that went as planned. And that's okay. Ir rained hardcore all day until it a couple of hours before set up. It was super cold all evening (beautiful and brisk) but super cold. My wedding team were great and got everything put together while I had a slight meltdown. I hadn't done make up or nails and felt a bit like everyone was prettier/more made up than I was and I felt awful about it. I gave up on my antlers and had B wear them. They looked adorable on her though. So I opted for a top hat which was kind of cute because it meant I matched my dad.
There were several technical difficulties, the least of which being a crazy bride hiding in the bathroom trying to get some make up done. It finally took shape though and it was really lovely there in the midst of darkness and wrapped in a loving circle of protection. Hannah and I bawled during vows because... that's what we do. I loved the exchange with the elements. It was a unique wedding. One of a kind. That much I know for certain. And that makes me really happy. The woman who lead the IEPG when it was still going came up to me and asked if I could send her the ceremony. I had said sure at the time but the more I think about it... this ceremony was my gift to Hannah and it was tailored to 'two women' and specifically 'women writers' and so it would not feel very organic being used for anyone else's wedding. I think in the end I will send over a script sans all of my additions. We'll see.
Anyway. The wedding happened and then we ate food. We didn't get to dancing or anything like that but I figure we'll just keep the playlist and use it for mood music during the honeymoon.
Next big adventure is to get ready to buy a house. And a projector. I plan on having lots of parties and lots of movie nights. I can't wait to share my hearth and home with those I love.
