Two years and one day ago
Some things I remember:
- Requesting that the best man wear a tuxedo t-shirt.
- Getting a massage from a guy at the Mandalay Spa.
- Wondering why my mother couldn’t be on time for lunch.
- Wishing my dad could have been there.
- Feeling overwhelmed as we pulled up to the chapel and saw dozens of people who love us and want the best for us.
- Almost collapsing from nervousness while “Elvis” sang “Fools Rush In” but being saved at the last moment by Maid of Honor Joel making faces at me.
- Taking some time just the two of us between the wedding and buffet to lose $20 at the MGM Grand.
- Only drinking half of a Bloody Maria during the reception because I was too busy moving from table to table talking to people.
- Justin and Joel pimping me into singing that 867-5309 song at the post-reception karaoke bash.
- Being “stuck” to the woman who makes me laugh, who makes me want to be a better person, who loves me and who helps me love myself.
Here is what she remembers.
