The wedding was PERFECT!!! (Warning - very long post)
Apart from getting to bed after midnight Friday night then having to get up at 5am it was a awesome day ;o) All the bridesmaids stayed at Claudia’s Friday night so none of us would be late for the wedding. Someone’s alarm went off at 5am & then I was wide awake, it felt like Christmas day & I couldn’t help but bounce around. It was just a tad exciting! We had to be at the hairdressers at 7.30am so our hair & make up could be done, meet the photographer at 10.30, then be at the ceremony at 12.30 - we got there closer to 1 as the cars were a little late… but it was all good.
I was on such a high yesterday! Claudia was so beautiful, she’s such a gorgeous girl, both inside & out, she looked absolutely stunning! At the other Mass/wedding ceremonies that I’ve been to (I hate to admit it but…) I’ve gotten a little bored. Yesterday I was sitting up the front doing the bridesmaid thing & just couldn’t stop smiling at the happy couple; everything flowed & seemed just right.
I have to get this out of the way before I go on. Porsches – I LOVE THEM!!! Ok maybe it’s cause they go really fast & the music was pumping, but still, they’re fantastic :o)
We had 3 red Porsches for the bridal party, all convertibles & a white Mercedes for the bridal couple. My first words when they came to pick us up were ‘will this mess up our hair?’ Their response – ‘no it’ll be fine’. All I can say to that is HA! But I tell you its worth it, the hair was salvageable & still looked good for the photos, so I was happy. I figured that I spent ‘my’ wedding day worrying about my hair when I was been driven to the ceremony, I even made them stop & put the top up… Yesterday I decided to just sit back & enjoy the ride. It was fantastic, I loved it. At one stage when we were going into the city I swear we were going between 130–160 km p/h. In a convertible it feels pretty dam fast & gives you such a rush, not to mention that the stereo was seriously going off. I think my hands were in the air & we were dancing in our seats just about the whole way there :o) Oh & not to mention the screaming at the top of my lungs (not that you could hear it though cause the music was so loud).
We had photos near Luna Park with the Sydney Harbour Bridge & Oprah House in the back ground then went to Observatory Hill which also has a stunning view over Sydney. It was a lot of fun. By about 5pm I was starting to lose my hype a little but then we got back in the cars to go to the reception, the music started again & I got my second wind
It’s funny how you forget to eat. We had breakfast at 6ish that morning & by the time we ate at the reception it was about 6.30. I’m not a seafood fan but I was so hungry that I ate octopus... It tasted ok but I just can’t get over the tentacles… I just couldn’t bring myself to peel the prawns; they’re looking at you for goodness sake! One of the other bridesmaids did it for me but they still tasted the same as the last time I tried them & I still don’t like them. Then it was time for the oyster… Umm, yuck! It’s slimy & it tastes like you’ve swallowed a mouth full of sea water :o)
The reception was great. I got a little drunk but had the best time; we pretty much danced all night. My feet are still sore today. I can’t wait to see the wedding video & photos. The photographer puts the photos on line so I’ll be able to check them out, soon hopefully! Don’t think I’m going to get to see the video though :o(
Seeing my ex yesterday wasn’t even an issue. When I first saw him & his girl standing outside the church after the reception I got a bit shaky then I went up to some other friends standing near them & hi, then said hi to my ex & his girl & gave them both a kiss on the cheek, it was all good. I was still a bit nervous about seeing them at the reception but wasn’t really bothered like I thought I would be. I don’t have any feelings for him anymore, I haven’t been kidding myself. I am well & truly over him!!!
After I’d had a few drinks at the reception I decided to go & say hello to some of ‘our’ friends & they were siting at the same table as my ex & his girl. So I went over to their table, his girl got up & walked away, I had a chat to our friends then went & sat in her seat & had a chat with my ex. He was nervous, he’s got this laugh he does when he’s not sure of himself, I spose I was nervous too cause I wasn’t sure if he’d actually talk to me or not. Anyway, I asked him how the new house was going etc & found out that they’re painting. Told him what I’d been up too, he wished me luck for my trip etc, we talked about his parents. It was nice. Just by been able to sit down & have a chat with him I now feel like I can close that chapter. After the reception I was standing outside waving the bridal couple off with some of the other bridesmaids & a few other guests & my ex actually came over to me to say good-bye (his girl behind him). I said good bye etc to him & did the kiss on the cheek thing & the same to his girl. It was just really good to get that out of the way, show that there’re no hard feelings & all that.
I think that his girl was quite insecure about it all though. The guys were saying that they’d had a few domestics during the night… I know I shouldn’t be mean but I can’t help but smile. It’s funny every time I looked over in their direction it didn’t look like they were having fun then when they were dancing they wouldn’t dance with the same group of friends that I was dancing with & she always had her arm around him (even on the fast songs) doing the he’s mine thing, it made me laugh. She’s welcome to him (NOT said in a mean bitchy way). Basically I was there to have a good time with Claudia & I did!
It was hard saying good bye to Claudia, I was fine the whole night, no tears & I even got through the good bye ok. That was until one of our other friends who’s also going overseas said good bye & he started to cry, that got me going… Basically I had tears running down my cheeks & was kinda sobbing – umm, I don’t do crying, dam that boy!
It was great spending this afternoon with Eve, I love you honey! I’m going to miss you. What am I saying, I miss you already. It’s been strange not seeing or at least emailing or talking to you on a daily basis for the last 3 weeks. I just want to say don’t ever think I’m to busy for you, K! Dam it, tears in my eyes again. Must be an eye infection…
I’ve said this to Claudia already but it goes for you & Char too. You’re friends for a reason, a season or a LIFETIME. No matter where I am I want to know what’s going on in your lives. I really treasure your friendship & it’s just hit me how much I’m going to miss you. Yes, dam it, tears are rolling down my cheeks… have to go get tissues.
