The Captain and I were married yesterday . . . now I can finally relax. It was a beautiful and spiritual wedding ceremony at my mom's house in the presence of immediate family and long time friends who are considered family. We wrote our own vows and my Aunt Sandra read the blessings. My brother came well stocked with champagne and the toasts went on for a while . . . very special and touching!
The theme was tropical . . . everyone was dressed in mainly hawaiian shirts . . . the wedding cake was so cute, complete with palm trees and colorful flip flops that are refrigerator magnets.
Although I quit drinking liquor a year or so ago, when I arrived at my mom's house, I had to have a drink to calm down a bit. My legs were shaking so badly . . . being the center of attention makes me very nervous. Having to speak in front of a group is a form of torture. But I made sure that the vows I wrote were short and sweet.
All in all, it was a very special day, one of the most beautiful days of my life. It was really awesome to see those friends and family I hadn't seen in a while . . . and the most awesome is being The Captain's wife!
Isn't that special? Although it is still a tropical storm at the moment, the impending Hurricane Irene is lurking around the corner, waiting around for just the right time to ruin our wedding.
Prayer warriors are badly needed . . . the storm just has to go somewhere else like way off into the Atlantic Ocean or the Caribbean mountains have to tear it up to nothing!
One thing I really hate is being the center of attention . . . it makes me so nervous. The wedding jitters have gotten to me very badly and I've been sick for the past week or so. It gets better and then comes back.
Maybe this is a sign that we should just run off and make it legal . . . we already have the marriage license.
This is my first week participating in the blog hop/meme Fawk You Friday . . . a weekly venting session!
The good news is TGIF . . . the weekend is almost here . . . now for the venting :)
Fawk you politics . . . I'm sick of all the bickering and propaganda! The world economy is in trouble . . . at this point just find a way to get along and FIX IT . . .
Fawk you stress . . . you are on my last nerve!
Fawk you sinus problems . . . I seriously need to get some stuff done and you are keeping me from feeling well enough to do it . . .
Fawk you to the stuff that needs to be done . . . where is that magic wand?
Fawk you to the awful cold or flu that my mom has . . . it scares me when she gets so sick . . .
Fawk you to having my days and nights mixed up!!
Fawk you wedding plans . . . I'm ready to get married at the court house like I wanted to do to begin with!
Fawk you if you are offended by my post . . . I needed to vent!

Got big plans for the weekend?
The Captain and I are definitely going to Busch Gardens this weekend so we can start building up our endurance for a walking marathon we will be participating in benefitting diabetes research. It feels good to know that not only will we be doing the healthy thing for ourselves, we will be doing good for others.
Have an awesome Friday!
