It's my party and I will cry if I want too!

So I am sorry I have been away, I had a very busy weekend! I went to my hometown Thursday for a weekend full of Bridal fun!!

Friday I had a series of appointments beginning at 8:30 a.m. One of which included selecting the music that the organist will play at the ceremony! T. really wanted Ode to Joy as the recessional and I wanted Ave Maria played right before the bridemaids came down and Canon in D for the bridemaids. Then it was time to select “my” song. I am getting married in a Catholic church and the organist will not play the Bridal Chorus as it is too contemporary. That is ok, so I decided I wanted to hear Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring b/c T. said I would probably like it (I had heard it before but didn’t know what it was called) click here to listen!!! And I have to say that I loved it, loved it so much I started crying (#1). I was just so happy and to think of me walking down the aisle hearing that song was just wonderful and emotional!

So then my mom and sister and I went back to the house to kill some time and we started talking about the shower and I started crying (#2). It comes down to the fact that my mom and sister put SO much time into the planning of the shower and to the whole wedding day for T. & I that it is so over whelming and we are so appreciative of it!!! I am so lucky to have T. and to have family that loves him so much too.

So then we go to Davids Bridal for the dress fitting. Didn’t cry there because I had to stand in my hot dress for over 30 minutes while I got 11, yes you heard me, 11 bussels pinned onto my dress. ELEVEN!!!!! What the heck! Good luck sis on getting those done the wedding day!

Then some more errands and some more preparing for the shower and some more happy tears throughout the rest of the day.

Then Saturday came and it was wonderful!!! I never really wanted a shower but I am glad we had one. It was nice to see the bridesmaids having SO much fun! And all my family and friends having a nice time and coming together to share in this special time. And the shower was great!! Fun games, great food, beautiful and thoughtful gifts (including the 100 individual packs of lubricating jelly from my Aunt), embarrassing moments and some great laughs. Then I guess I had to say something at the end…. thanking everyone for coming and how much they mean to me and T. and how thankful we are and queue the water works AGAIN! (By this time it is #5)

So, here it is – I am a crier. And I am realizing I am TOTALLY ok with it. I am SO happy and lucky and over whelmed by all the love and support I have right now. So as far as I am concerned I will cry till I can’t cry no more!!! (hopefully I will be out of tear fluids by the wedding day, LOL)
