Home again, Home again, Jiggity Jig.

Hey everyone! I'd like to start off by saying that I actually began this entry over a week ago when we first got back from the honeymoon, but found myself launched into a crazy house and the real world before I could press "Publish Post". But let's press on.

To those faithfull readers out there who still think to themselves as they sit down to their desk/laptop, "Hm- I wonder what some of Natalie's thoughts are this morning," thank you. I am guessing that most folks assume that since the wedding is over, there will be no more blog.

I don't go down so easily.

First of all, the fact that the wedding has come and gone, as has the honeymoon, will take some adjustment.  Wait, I don't have to refer to my Wedding Day Master List fifeen times today?  My mind isn't swirling with cake then woodchips then food then seating then music, wash/rinse/repeat?  It is a nice feeling, but has taken some getting used to.  Having been swept away suddenly in a cherry red Camero and off to a tropical island with a new husband for two weeks was insane all by itself, let alone the fact that a WEDDING happened that needed debriefing.
I agree that there's no way to know what it feels like until you experience it.  As much as you prepare, make calls, pay people, give orders, it's gonna be ridiculously crazy on an emotional/physical/mental/spiritual level.
And trying to take it all in is like trying to catch water in your hands- some is going to slip through the cracks.  I firmly believe that as soon as cloning is allowed on people, the first thing they need to do it duplicate brides.  Thank you!
At this point, I am straddling the line between the wedding still fresh in my mind/sad it's over and remembering it fondly with chuckles and warm hearts. I do a little of both sometimes. :)

But for the most part, here are the Top Thoughts and Feelings:
* I am filled with gratitude toward everyone involved, everyone who came, all the love we felt.
* I felt pretty
* It was all very beautiful, I think (will have to wait for photos!)
* The ceremony was just as we imagined it and where we felt no stress, no anxiety, and knew that's exactly where we were supposed to be.  It was lovely. :)
* I am more in love with Kenny than ever.  If it's possible after six years, I feel more comfortable and happy with every day.  We can't get over the fact that at the end of the day, we're not...leaving... ha!
* And finally- we did it.  We're married! By golly, FINALLY! 

PLENTY more ruminating to come. And I would love to include a pic or two, but can't seem to save them right from Facebook. Once I have photos of my own, consider it done!
Love.
