I want to remember yesterday in waves.
Wave after wave of seeing my friends, at the airport, at the rehearsal, at the dinner,
Of picking up the AD & husband from the airport (on time!!!) with the mother.
Of the AD & I running v.late to pick up the RP
Of the harried calls from boy because he couldn't find his clothes
& how we got slighted ticked off we each other
Of the deep sense of calm that came over me for tomorrow I was going to marry him and knowing that I needed to learn to not yell so much at him for he truly is my one
Of the slightly crinkled shirt the busy busy boy wore because he couldn't find the shirt I was supposed to have ironed :)
Of the million calls back & forth between redhead & I for directions
Of the joy on seeing the RP unchanged
Of the yellow dress the M.L wore when she came running into the club at the rehearsal
It was as if time had stood still and the intervening years had never happened.
The rehearsal - didn't go by without a hitch.
There were delays, and more, and missing people but throughout it all, i was smiling ear to ear looking around this room filled with my past and my future.
The dinner was late but I remember laughter, my dad's jokes, his egging M.L on to drink, the shared jokes about 'add on' ceremonies, my beautiful mother sitting next to me, the boy moving table from table, making sure all our friends were taken care of, and being the perfect host, while I sat with M.L and laughed.
Later, we all headed back to the new place, where the friends and I took over the bed and traded stories, and laughed at ourselves in old pictures.
I was so happy!
And today,
No matter how it rains, or how delayed we get, or how much negativity I think may spew from my crazy uncle, i will be floating on a cloud above it all, waiting for that walk with my father down the aisle to join my boy!
