Hi everyone!!!
Well, it's official...My sweetie and I are married!!!! Our Disney wedding was what wedding dreams are made of (well alright, we had our bumps in the road on the big day - I will let you know all about the limo, or lack there of, later in the report ) But besides the unexpected occurances that happen on everyones wedding day, it was absolutly magical. I cannot even begin to tell you the feeling I had as I stood beside the love of my life up on the alter of the Wedding Pavilion, looking out at Cinderella's Castle across the lagoon about to say my wedding vows. It was a moment in my life that I will never soon forget. It was worth every penny, every effort, and every pain-in-the-neck hastle of planning a destination wedding!! I have so much to tell (but I dont know if I can post pictures yet, or if I know how) so I will do the best I can to tell our story.
Here is goes: Thursday, August 17th, 2006
We had been looking forward to this day for almost 2 years now. That wonderful day, August 17th. Everytime I made an itinerary, it started with August 17th. Everytime I talked about my trip and when I was leaving, it started with August 17th. Everytime I got stressed at work, over the little things in life, I would say to myself, "It's ok! I am leaving for our Disney wedding and honeymoon on August 17th! I can handle this!" It was one of those mysterious dates in life that felt like it would never ever arrive.....and then one day...just when you least expect it....it does! Ready or not, packed or not, it came! It was such a surreal feeling when the day finially arrived!! The day started..umm...let me see...when was it again?! Oh right 3 IN THE MORNING! Ohh no....we were not up that early because of an early flight, no no no. I remember rolling over at 3am and Mark was looking at me through the dark with these big, sad, puppy dog eyes. In my half asleep, groggy voice, I uttered, "Oh my god what's wrong?" My poor baby answered, "I think I have an ear infection" Now for a normal guy, this would be no real big deal...but you have to understand Mark. He was born with terrible terrible ear problems. He spent the first 2-3 years of his life almost deaf. When he was a toddler, he had to go to speach because he never learned to talk properly because of all his hearing problems. Thankfully, the problem never lead to anything serious, and with the exception of the occassional, "Heh? What'd ya say??" and the pain of flying, he is a-ok! So whenever I rolled over and heard him say something about an ear infection, I knew we had to take care of this ASAP! We got right up, threw on some clothes, and headed to the emergency room. We were the only ones there, so we were seen immediatly! (Helps to have medical problems in the middle of the night! None of this mid-day stuff! You get terrible service that way! Hahahahha ) So after a quick look in Mark's ear, the doctor confirmed that he had a massive ear infection in his left ear. The doctors words of reassurance..."Well, it is definatly an ear infection. I know it hurts, especially with your past of ear troubles, but hey just think. At least your not flying on a plane anytime soon! Now that would hurt!" To which Mark and I looked at each other, laughed, and said, "Umm...we will be on a plane in 12 hours" The doctor's response? "Ha! Good luck!" So, here we were, now about 4:30am, leaving for our Disney wedding in a matter of hours, at the local 24 hour CVS picking up loads and loads of antibiotics, drops, etc to help make this flight as peaceful as possible for the groom-to-be. And as a worried bride-to-be, I couldn't help but think, "Oh man...is this a sign of things to come?" I guess we would see More to come soon!! It is going to take me a bit of time to get through this report because I teach first grade and school started this week but I will update when I can. I know how much fun I had reading everyone elses's trip reports so I definatly want to do my share to help all those future brides!! Much love to you all!
