MY WEDDING DAY!
Dear diary,
It's been a great day today! I have to admit that I was very nervous when I woke up this morning, but the whole day went by without any major dramas.
The expensive hair salon that Phoebe paid for was really helpful. Everybody commented on how great it looked and I thanked Phoebe for paying for it. You know, Phoebe really is a great friend. She has really helped me since we met each other again after all that time. Since we were nine years old and I told her about my love for Arnold, she has always wanted us both to finally get together.
A lot of people at the wedding were happy to see Arnold and I finally get married, but I honestly think that they wondered how we ended up together. Why do I love Arnold? I have always told you, diary, that I have loved Arnold since I was three years old. I think that back then, I cared deeply for Arnold, but I'm not sure whether it was love at that time. It is hard for me to remember how I felt back then, as it was quite a long time ago, but I think that I felt close to Arnold because he was one of the only people in the world who was actually nice to me. As I grew older, it did become real love and I am sure about that. I felt the need to hide my feelings from Arnold back then because I think that I was afraid of rejection. I didn't think that he was interested in me at all. I had to hide my feelings totally and admire Arnold from afar. I did sometimes discuss my feelings to Phoebe, but she was my best friend and I could trust her.
Arnold always used to want somebody else for love, and I couldn't help feeling jealous. The first major problem was his interest in Ruth. I tried to stop anything happening between them, but I doubt that anything would have actually happened between them. After all, Ruth was a 6th grader and at that time, Arnold was only in the 4th grade. Then there were a few other minor crushes, but the one person who had always managed to come between me and Arnold is Lila. I know that I inadvertently started the whole crush that Arnold had on Lila, when I wrote Arnold loves Helga on the wall and then I changed it to Lila. Lila always used to politely reject Arnold back then. I know that I still didn't like her then, but she was still a nice girl, at that time, but of course, she started to change.
As Lila grew up, her home life really started to take a big affect on her behaviour and her attitude towards life. When she started to date Arnold, Arnold helped her through that point in her life. She went back to the way she used to be. But, from what Arnold has actually told me, his marriage to Lila wasn't a happy one and the reason that she is acting the way she is now, is because of her divorce to Arnold.
I can't believe that last night, she tried to ruin my wedding with those vicious lies. She probably still thinks that she ruined the wedding. I'm glad that I didn't end up making a horrible mistake because of her.
And today, after Arnold and me got married, I finally told him about my pregnancy. Arnold will make a great father. Of course, Gerald and Phoebe will me godparents, but Arnold and me haven't really discussed this yet.
Tomorrow, Arnold and me will set off on our honeymoon. We are going to Spain for two weeks. I'm sure that I will have a good time, on holiday, finally married to my one true love.
Well, it's been a long day, and I think that it's time for me to go to bed. That's enough of my thoughts for one night!
Helga (still a Pataki).
Arnold's diary coming soon!
