Night before the wedding!

July 29, 2005

Tomorrow is our wedding! Our rehearsal dinner takes place tonight, an hour and a half from now. I can’t believe it’s here already!

I don’t have much time to write, but I wanted to say that we’ve been having a wonderful week. It’s just so great to have my family and friends here with me in this small town in England. All of my aunts and uncles are here, as well as a cousin, my brother and his family, and of course my parents. Four of my friends and their dates/family are here, too, which has been fantastic. In the daytime, I have been taking care of wedding preparations, and in the evenings we all head to the restaurants or pubs. Today I walked around with Mike and friends of mine from high school and college. We went to the cathedral and castle, and then to the pub for some pints. I finished all my wedding preparation yesterday, so today I have been able to just enjoy time with all my guests. It has been great! I love having this time to spread out the wedding celebrations and enjoy being with everyone!

Well I have to go now and make myself pretty for the rehearsal dinner. I will try to post more this weekend if I can.

Hello from London

Hello from my favorite (huge) internet cafe in Kensington. We’ve had a great day today! Thursday wasn’t so great. Here is a long summary of the events of the last couple days.

Amazing gift

We got the most amazing wedding gift from my aunt today. She has been working since October to compile our family histories, in written stories, audio recordings, and photographs. She has worked with members of both sides of my family and Mike’s family to collect written stories and other contributions. She laid out all the contents into two huge and beautiful bound volumes. It has stories in our relatives’ own words about their families, childhoods, and memories. The audio CD even includes a recording of my grandfather talking about his dad. My grandfather died ten years ago.

I burst into tears. It is the most precious and perfect gift anyone could ever give us. I can’t believe how much work she and the rest of our families have put into it. I am choking up now, just thinking about it. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude that I don’t know what to say.

I’m controlled by a dog that’s smarter than me

My dog is looking up at me all adorably. This is what she is saying to me right now:

“Please please take me to Kinkos with you. I don’t care that it’s 90 degrees and therefore too hot for a dog to wait in the car. I’ll try very hard not to bake. I just want to go with you so bad. I love the Kinkos parking lot. Take me. I promise not to chew up your seat belts this time. Pretty please. Just look how cute I am. You know you can’t say no to this face.”

The sad thing is that I’m actually trying to figure how if there is a shady place outside of the Kinkos where I could tie her up while I’m inside. I’m such a pathetic pushover.
