My Wedding: A Photodocumentary

For those of you who weren't in attendance, or those of you who just want to relive it (and who wouldn't?), here you go!

From my bachelorette party, thrown by the illustrious matron of honor/"best woman," Aimee Lewis....



Yes, that is a cup shaped like a gigantic penis, and yes I am drinking out of it. I was a good sport about this bachelorette thing, let me tell you.



The scary man at the karaoke bar who was trying to tell me that the key to a successful marriage is something along the lines of being able to stand in the bathroom while the other one takes a poop. He was a strange, strange man.



Singing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" with Stefanie. We also all sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a group (Dana: "Who's Queen, and why are they singing about killing someone?")



Let us not forget the penis-shaped jello shots that awaited us when we returned to Aimee's house.



Or the lingerie.



Getting my hair done the morning of the wedding.



The finished product. :)



Don't really know what I was trying to talk about, but I hope I gave up on it quickly.



Dana fixing my shoe!



The Guys.



The girls.



I emerge from the bathroom.



It was extremely sunny that day. I got a sunburn even!



The Magic Moment, or the Point of No Return--as you will. ;)



Actually I got lots of kisses!



Ryan and Kevin are very close indeed.....



Dancing with my dad to "So Happy Together" by the Turtles.



Ryan's friends doing their choreographed number....(somewhere there exists a picture of my reaction to this, but I can't find it right now)



Dancing together. :)



The Euphonics performing at the reception.



The fathers, apparently discussing my dowry or what continents they would like to take over....???



Got a serenade from all the Phi Mu Alphas in the room. :)



Wheee! Being married is awesome!!

I'm a thief!

I stole this stuff from John. But since he stole it from someone else, I guess that makes it more like freeware than stealing.

A - AGE: 25.75
B - BAND LISTENED TO MOST RECENTLY: Actually it was Sara Mangus's compilation CD, which had a lot of stuff on it.
C- CRUSH: I think I'll always have a thing for Tobey Maguire.
D - DOG's NAME: Don't have one, but I do have two cats named Willow and Joey.
E - EASIEST PERSON TO TALK TO: Probably Sara, if you're talking girlfriends (Ryan, of course, ranks very high as well).
F - FAVORITE BAND: All time? Geez, um....Queen probably.
G - GUMMY: gotta go with the worms.
H - HOMETOWN: Lansing, MI, with a stint in Albion, MI, followed by taking up residence in Portage, MI.
I - INSTRUMENT: I play the piano, the guitar, and the flute all very badly, but I do sing decently well.
J - JUICE: orange.
K - KIDS: None as of yet. We are pretty much in agreement that our first daughter will probably be named Ella Joy, but we're still struggling on guy's names. Last we tried to figure that out, he ended up being named "Ming Xiao," after the Ming Dynasty (that's pronounced Ming di-Nasty) Chinese restaurant we were passing at the time. Needless to say, we'll keep looking.
L - LONGEST CAR RIDE: Lansing to Mystic, CT when I was 15; Orlando to Grand Rapids, MI when I was 18.
M - MOM'S NAME: Marcia Ann
N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: One (half) bro.
O - ONE WISH: That all my friends find happiness for themselves in whatever fields they most desire it (career, relationships, etc.).
P - PHOBIA(S): Needles. I absolutely cannot stand them. And by extension, stupid loser doctors and nurses who tell me "it doesn't hurt." I want to punch them in the eye when they say that.
Q - QUOTE: "What you resist, persists. What you look at goes away."
R - REASON TO SMILE: I wake up to a very handsome man who loves me every day~I don't have to go to a stupid job~I have time to write and read now~I have great people in my life~the list is endless....
S - SEXIEST FEATURE: Shouldn't you really be asking someone else this? Okay, in my opinion, my eyes. Then maybe my boobs (they aren't sexy to me, but I am of the understanding that the opposite sex finds them appealing).
T - TIME YOU WAKE UP: 9:00 a.m.
U - UNKNOWN FACT ABOUT ME: I had to think about this one a lot! The truth is there are very few. Okay, here goes: I once got kicked out the fountain at Epcot when I was playing in it with a few other people.
V - VEGETABLE YOU HATE: zucchini
W - WORST HABIT(S): Being a slob, not returning phone calls promptly
X - X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: Let's see.....teeth, chest x-ray in 6th grade when I had pneumonia, arm x-ray when I broke my wrist (also in 6th grade), my big toe when I was a senior in college because it was suspected broken, and 2 ultrasounds the year after college to determine the cause of some mystery chronic pelvic pain I was having.
Y - YUCKY FOOD: I'm a texture eater....I don't like food that's slimy or squishy or has stuff squirt out of it when you eat it (like jelly donuts).
Z - ZODIAC SIGN: Gemini

And the question for you today, also stolen from John is, if you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would your first thought be? (this ought to be interesting)
