MY WEDDING DAY!

Dear diary,

Today, Helga and I finally got married! I can't believe that I am now Arnold Pataki! I suppose that some good did come from that car crash. If it wasn't for that, Helga might not have said yes to my proposal when she did. It was nice to see a lot of my old friends at the wedding. Hardly any of my friends were at the wedding of Lila and me. Now that I think back, I totally regret ever marrying her.

I don't like divorces. I have never liked to hear of people getting them all through my life, but I think that it was necessary with Lila and me. We were not happy together, so it would have been a bad idea to stay married. Although I don't think that she loved me at the end of the marriage, she did take the whole divorce pretty badly. Look at the way that she is acting now. I can't believe that she tried to destroy the relationship between Helga and me last night. Despite that, I do feel a tiny bit sorry for her, but I would never admit that to Helga. I hope that I never have to see Lila again. Helga thinks that she is evil. I just think that she needs some help. If I do ever see Lila again, she could try one of her tricks again. If she did, I hope that Helga would be able to spot it more easily, next time.

But, I still can't believe that Helga and I are married! The girl who used to fire spit balls at me and call me Football Head is now my wife! Helga has totally changed over the years. Helga says that she had a crush on me since she was three years old. That did come as a complete shock to me. Helga did say that she was afraid of rejection so she had to hide her feelings. I wish that I could say to Helga that I have always had a crush on her, but if I did, I would be lying and Helga would be able to spot that. But, as long as Helga knows that I love her now, that's all that matters.

Helga surprised me when we got into the wedding car after the wedding. She is pregnant! Finally, I get to be a father! Soon, I will be holding a baby as sweet as Phoebe and Gerald's daughter, Chloe. I think that Helga is worried that she will be a bad mother. She says that she doesn't know anything about babies. I am sure that Helga will make a great mother and Phoebe will help to teach Helga a bit about babies.

I think that's all I am going to write, for now. I have to get a few more things ready for our honeymoon to Spain. We leave tomorrow!
