I AM GETTING MARRIED LATER TODAY.

i am exhausted, excited, kind of grubby and will likely lie in bed tossing for a bit before finally conking out.  i hurt my back, started my period, and also figured out an awesome way to curl my hair.  i was both astonished by the kindness of my people and annoyed with them at different times of the day.  i can see now why people throw weddings: you cram a lot of problem solving, interpersonal relationship stuff, stress and emotions all in a short period of time and it's like a crash course in "are you ready to spend forever with this person?"  it's awesome and overwhelming and has made me weepy more times than i care to admit.  i'm thrilled to finally be here, at the day all this work was for, and kind of sad that soon it will be over.

in the end, i get to go home with the man i love, and so no matter what happens later today, it will be worth it.  schmoop.
