Here Comes… the Hot Mess

Ahh I’m married!!!  I have had several co-workers now come up to me and tell me I look much better, now that all the stress is over. 19 days off does the body good and as amazing as the day was, I feel like I can ‘resume normal life’  now.   Looking back, it really was the greatest five hours of my life, even if everything leading it up it was a horrendous, comedy of errors.  Here is a compiled list of all the WTF moments leading up to the day:

  • I get shingles!! Because what stressed out bride doesn’t want a painful burning rash
  • Mr. Formal where my grooms clothes are, floods the day they had to pick stuff up
  • Cat pooped on my wedding dress (Not even making that up)
  • Stung by the biggest wasp I’ve ever seen…from my own flower arrangement
  • Shuttle vendor goes out of business and takes off with all our money 4 days before the wedding
  • Gained weight (I lied to both my mom and personal trainer about this one)
  • My first sash that came in the mail was black
  • Hit by an uninsured driver the morning of my bachelorette party
    • Fast forward-get the most awkward lap dance by someone who looks exactly like my brother…in front of my mom and MIL

After everything though the day came and I walked down the aisle bawling my eyes out.  It really was the most amazing day of my life.  The only regret I had was not getting a big mac the night of and taking a picture with it in my wedding dress…instead I was partying until 4am, room hopping at the Quality Inn, barefoot and refusing to take my dress off with a bottle of champs in hand.  It was epic.

Now my house looks like a tornado came through, filled with mountains of wedding crap.  I have had a years worth of pinteresting my dream wedding and crafting my little heart and now it’s all just strewn about in my living room (along with 5lbs of pulled pork and a case of wine).

It can’t get any better.
