A Grand Day for a Wedding

So now its time for the follow up. It is time for the sequel. Ladies and gentle giants, it is time for the wedding day post. Dun dun duuuuuuuun!

After a raunchy good time with my brothers and several fellows, I ended up waking up at around 8:30 am. I got up out of bed and decided the best thing to do was to order up a pot of coffee. I set up my laptop to start burning our Dinner Music CD (thank god I put the blank disc in the computer). While Raj snored away, I sipped my coffee and did my best to work over a plan that would ensure I didn't mess anything up that day. I wrangled up the groomsmen at each room and notified them that they need to be ready by 11 at at my door. Fortunately, things went well and each guy got ready and started showing up at 10:50. Before that, I spent some time with my mom and grandma in a ceremony in their room. They did a prayer and my mom and I spilled some tears with a hug. She has a way to make people cry. I'm not sure how she does it. I sallied forth back to my room and met up with all the chaps. Everyone was there and looking great. Praveen showed up with the always entertaining Kaiden and we all made sure Raj was up at them. After solving the driving situation by just taking my Parent's van, we all squeezed in. Adam and Chris do what they always do and acted as the skinny ones and squeezed together in a half seat. We made our way to the church and got out. At this point, I was given the codename "Peaches" as my groomsmen formed a Secret Service style team to make sure I did not see Laura. We met up with Mary the photographer and began to get all the crazy shots outside the church. She was fantastic. We ended up being there really a lot earlier then we had to and Praveen asked Laura if there was enough time to grab some food. Him, Raj, and Kaiden (I'm sure he helped somehow) grabbed us up some cousins turkey subs. Nothing ever tasted so good. My parents and the flower girls showed up and I knew that at this point, everyone necessary was here and I no longer had to worry. I was snuck inside to take a funny photo of Laura and I holding hands but being unable to see each other. While Laura was escorted out of the room, no body bothered to tell me she was gone. So a shout out must go to Bridesmaid Julie's husband who kindly came over and told me the cost was clear and I could get out of the corner where I had been sitting Blair-witch style. As people started to fill the lobby, I walked around greeting them all and helping Mary (who in here awesome way) find people to match boutinerres. I know I could of given this to someone else, but alas, only I had the crucial face-name memory that was required. I wento the bathroom and of course this was when Praveen came back out and asked me what the hell I was doing. It was time!

I ran back out and got up with my parents. Father Barbian walked to the altar, turned around, and I saw the whites of his eyes.....

During the ceremony, I told myself to keep a smile up and found I didn't really have to try, it just came out. Laura was an absolute knock-out. I mean damn. She was so gorgeous. I think I shuddered a bit. We worked our way throught the ceremony and I found it a bit hard to lock eyes with either moms. My mom broke down and cried very early while Laura's mom showed some strong courage and restraint to hold it back. If I looked at either, it instantly made be do the look up trick to make the tears go back in. Eventually we wrapped it up (I have trouble remember the details of the ceremony). I remember walking out with Laura and going into the side room where all of our Wedding Party joined us. It was a rush. I finally got to say "my wife..." and looked for every possible combination just to have an excuse to say it.

We eventually ran through the photos and filled into the Limo. It was time to take photos and then head to the reception...and oh what a reception it was but that story will need to be for another time (tommorow). So stay tuned listeners!

On a side note, Sully is adjusting very well to his new home. We finally let him out into the living room and he is slowly getting used to it. At first he cried out for attention but now he is looking for spots to curl up. Damn that cat. I love him so.
