My Wedding

I'm assuming some of you are probably a little shocked by my recent announcement that I had finally married my boyfriend of 3 years, Donnie. Don't worry, you weren't the only one.

In July, Donnie and I decided that we were done waiting. We had been engaged a year and five months by this time. We are poor and we knew that if we waited until we had the money to have the wedding we wanted (okay, the wedding I wanted) we were going to be waiting a long time. That's when we decided, let's get married this year and then save up for the wedding we wanted (the one I wanted), that way there is no pressure. We're already married. We can take our time and not worry about it.

With this in mind we went ahead with our original date of September 1st and moved it up to 2011 rather than 2012. The rest is, as they say, history.

So we did it, we had a wedding at the courthouse with a judge. We had a little reception at a church just down the street from the courthouse. We ate and laughed. Kid and L.E.D. wrote on my new (well, new to me) van. And we honeymooned at a hotel for a couple days.

Unfortunately we both got a little sick. I blame it on the excitement and too much sugar. We spent most of our honeymoon eating (food is good!) and watching cartoons. We particularly enjoyed the random Spongebob Squarepants marathon they were having. We talked and we snuggled. We marveled at our new married status.

It may not have been the honeymoon we both originally envisioned, but it was good enough, because we spent it together. In the end that is really all that matters.

So, thank you, readers and family and friends. Thanks to all those that stood up with us as we made this decision.

Here's to a lifetime with the man I love.
