Oh my gosh! I'm sooo tired. Besides the fact that me and Amy stayed up until 3 in the morning talking about anything and everything it was 7 in the morning and I was tired. The only reason we were up this early was because everyone had to be back at Nicole's at 11 to take pictures and the whole bridal party was going to the same salon. JOY. I didn't believe in waking up this early. The earliest I got up for school is 7:30 and thats if I have someone to impress. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Anyways me and Amy were on our way to the salon and let me tell you the girl never stops talking in 6 am for god sakes, she's lucky I love her. I'm not really a morning person. All i really did was nod and smlie once in a while. After we stopped for a coffee I was a BIT better but not that much.
We got to the salon around 7:30. I had to stop for food. I'mcranky if I don't have anything in my stomache this early. Me and
Amie were the last to go so after we ate we tried sleeping but that didn;t work. It''s noisy ata salon even this early.
Me and Amie were getting our hair done the same way. We were getting it put up half way in lose curls with our bangs straight.
I was afreaid that the hair dresser would screw up my hair, I usually like doing it all on my own, but I didn't have the time
or the patience or the will to do it. But i LOVED the way my hair turned out and Amy's turned out just as well. After that
we had to wait for the make-up artist to get their. She got their at 9:30 she did our make-up and as me and Amy looked in
the mirror we both looked at each ohter with big smiles and yelled "We look SOOO hot" and the whole bridal party started
laughing at us. We got back to Nicoles at 10:45 and we didnd't think we would have enough time to get ready for teh
photographer.
Our dresses had turned out gorgeous, they were navy blue and just above the ankle, tube top with sparkly diamonds as linging on the top. We were all in a rush but we managed to bedone on time and we had to take a ton of pictures. At 12:30 the bus showed up to pick us up, and let me tell you it was gorgeous, I felt like such a princess.
When we got to the church I could feel the butterfly's begin. What if I fell or somethign, I woudl never be able to live it down and I have sort of a reputattion for ebing a klutz. I fall everywehre on the sidewalk, walking down the stairs, walking up the stairs, ect. You name it and I've porbably fallen on it. And what was worse was that we had to meet our ushers a little less than half way so I had to walk down the aisle by myself for awhile before I would see David. Talk about nervous. As we lined up me and Amy were still talking and Nicole had to tell us to shutup like 10 times. The music began and we all immediately quieted down.
The flower girl an d ring boy went first and then I was up. I took a deep breath smiled at Amy and Nicole and began to walk down the aisle. When I saw David I couldn't help but smile, he looked so handsome and mature in his tux that I felt my heart jump out of my mouth and hit the floor at the same time. He smiled at me and we locked eyes until I met him half way. I coudln't help but thinking, this is what I want to feel when I walk dowwn the aisle one day to meet my husband. I knew I was getting ahead of my self but I coudln't help but feeling that this guy was special and would end up being special to me. When I reached him he whispered to me "You look absolutely gorgeous" I went so red and whispered back "Thanks"
Even though the actual chuch part was a tad boring I couldn't help noticing how handsome my cousin was and how gorgeous my cousin in law was. These two were so absolutely perfevct for one another. They fit each other perectly and they were so deeply in love with one another. I couldn't help but pray to God that one day I could be half as happy as they were.
After the ceremony the bridal party had to go take more pictures and me and David were able to have our first real conversataion. He got a little tipsy on the bus and you could see that he was having a good time. Even though it was mroe him and his family he always made sure I was included in everything and me and him had fun asking all the questions people ask when their interested. School, status, ect. So far I had learned he loved kids, which by the way is a big thing for me, he was single, went to a school near mines, and was close to his whole family. He stayed near me the whole time and even though he was a bit tipsy it seemed to make him a lot less shy which was a good thing in a way. Amy kept giving me her knowing looks and I waanted to give her a good kick to take that look of smugness off her face, brat.
They had chosen a nice park to take pictures at,it was really pretty, I loved the gardens. They took pictures of all the people in the bridal party and millions of Nicole and Andrew. They were a gorgeous couple. After the photographer asked if anyone else wanted to take pictures. Me and Amy of course took one together and some of the peolpe in the bridal party that had 'significant others' took pictures. After we were done the photographer asked "Anyone else?"
david had the cutest smile on his face and looked at me and said "what abouth me?" I knew he was a bit tipsy but still he looked adorbale. I think i was a bit tipsy too because what I did is something I would have never ever ever had done if I had been completely sober.
I gave him a big smile and said "You have someone me silly" and i grabbed his face and kissed his cheek and the photographer snapped the picture. After that we both knew we were doomed, noone was going to let us forget that and believe me they didn't. The whole bridal party bugged us for the rest of the night.
We got on the bus and began to head for the reception. On the way their me and David tried to stay away from each other to avoid people bugging us. I sat beside Amy. She bugged me about David even more but I had something on her now. She had been flirting with Nelson for the whole day so far. So we pretty much teased each other the whole way. When we got to the hall we got in line to greet the guests. After that David, Amy, Nelson, and I were pretty much inseperable for teh whole night. When Miranda came I introduced her to everyone and I'm happy to say that she got along with everyone, ecspecially my cousin Nelson. BOth Miranda and Amy kept him company the whole night, i wasn't erally bugged because I knew that Amy wasn't serious whens he flirted with my cousin, she really liked her boyfriend Kyle, and Amy was a big flirt and that was it.
During dinner David adn I found out more about each other, I found out he played ball hockey and he knew a lot of people I knew, including my ex. He knew what happened between us and agreed with me that he had been stupid dumping me. Even though I was scared I knew I was already falling for David, we just had clicked in a matter of a few hours, and I already felt more comfortable with him than I had with Jason, ever and that was after a year of dating. I knew that to fall for someone and take a chacne of being happy I had to take the chance of getting hurt.
At the end of the night I don't think either of us wanted it to end. We were afraid that the magic that had stayed with us,
maybe the magic of young love like Nicole's and Andrew's, woudl be lost after the wedding, we exchanged email's and numbers
and at the end of the night he walked me to Amy's door (yes I slept over again, but this is betetr news Mianda was coming to)
and when he bent in to kiss me, I kissed back which is something I never do. I tend to hold back until I really know a guy.
MY theory is that I don't want to waste something like a kiss on some guy who I don't like. YOu might see me as tight but I
see it as me just protecting myself from harm. Okay besides the fact that I had to defend myself, back to the kiss, it was
amazing, it was like I had told Miranda I would know how if a guy was special when I kissed him, well David is most definately
knee shaking worthy, and he's also not a bad kisser.
When I walked into the house Miranda and Amy both had big smiles on their faces, they had been peeking, but it was nothing compared to the smile on my face.
