Gemini Girl

Friday was my 4th Wedding Anniversary… you know, if you dont count The Titanic. 

Things I remember about that day:

1. It was a  BEAUTIFUL September day.

2. Being hit on by a guy in the car right next to us as my fave cousin and I made our way to the hair salon. She screamed out the window “She’s getting married today” and he yelled “Mazal Tov”!

3. Taking a beauty salon break with my cousin

4. Putting my dress on and hoping that I didnt gain weight since the last fitting. It fit like a glove.

5. Once nervousness set in, I started singing “Yummy Yummy yummy.. I got love in my tummy” over and over again like a crazy person.

6. Walking out of the dressing room and everyone gasping because my dress was beautiful and unlike the current style that they had going on at the time (aka slutty)

7. Not having my bouquet come out the way I wanted (the lacey part) so my cousin B used scissors and thread to do exactly what I wanted with it.

8. My husband to be (technically husband) walking in and not have his jaw drop or compliment me regarding the beauty that was me at that moment. The wow moment was lost on him apparently.

9.  On the way to the photo shoot, we stopped by to grab a bagel (since I hadn’t eaten all day) and SPECIFICALLY asking my husband to get me a cheese and tomato bagel.

Then I asked him to repeat the order back to me.

He proceeds to come out and hand me a pesto smeared bagel that I almost threw at his head. I didn’t eat it because it was going to make me burp pesto and that wasn’t a moment I needed under my huppa (btw he refused to go in and get me another one. Had the nerve to tel me to go in, umm yeah-  like i was going to go in and wait in line in my wedding dress.)

10.Getting to the wedding hall and hanging out in our bridal/groom suite. We had our own personal waiter who brought us champagne, a wedding coordinator that wanted to make sure we were happy… ahh, the good life.

11.  Seeing my sister in law in her aqua blue shimmer dress almost caused  me to go blind with horror:

 

12. The music started playing and they called my husband to walk down the aisle. His dad and mom’s sister (his mom died when he was 10) walked him down the aisle. Touching moment for all.

 

13. They called for me to walk down the aisle and I was so nervous. My parents were on either side of me and we walked. I remember them walking so slowly and all I could remember was saying to them “hurry up”

14. After we were married and he broke the glass, noticing that my cousin was absent from congratulating us (i later found him having relations with his girlfriend in my bridal suite- on my veil).

15. Our first dance as husband and wife was Bryan Adams Unplugged version of “Heaven” (because I would listen to it as a kid when I would crush on my husband- for those of you who dont know, I had a crush on my husband from the age of 10)

16. Our second slow dance song was supposed to be Mariah Carey’s  “All I’ve Ever Wanted”- but instead the guy played “When A man Loves A Woman” by MICHAEL BOLTON. I shot him death arrows with my eyes – if looks could kill he would have been dead. FYI he decided to cut the song before it even ended so in middle of people slow dancing, pop music came on. Very subtle.

17. Being told my the photographer to smile with my teeth.. several times (even under my huppa)- I grabbed the guy and told him that he better not ask me that again. That I DO NOT smile with teeth in photos.

18. Finding out that when I was doing the food testing at the hall prior to the wedding, I checked off the wrong box for the fish I wanted. The fish that was served was so spicy that people were shooting lightning from their asses for 3 days.

19. Being caught wearing white platform sneakers under my long dress ( for comfort and height) – didn’t think anyone would see them. My cousin saw them and said to me “this isnt a gym class- this is your wedding”  – bitch I want to be comfortable on MY wedding day.

20. My cousin B helping me pee. I could not pull up my garter belt for the life of me. She may or may not have gotten pee on her from the experience. Now that’s love.

21. This:

All in all- I wish I could go back to that day.

 Happy Anniversary Husband O-Mine.
