my big fat wedding

So i have been trying for a week to write about my wedding! I finally have some down time so here it goes!
Thursday night me and my girls went out and got our nails done. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing. Friday everyone went over my parents house and my dad made waaay too much food! it seems as though everyone had a pretty good time. Eric spilled his beer all over miss daisy, so she stinks and is sticky! lol. Then after everyone left me and ian and my cousins said behind and played mario party for a few hrs. We had a good time. I then ran around doing a ton of shit with my mom untill like 10pm. I went to bed at 1130 (way later than i would have LIKED to go). but i fell right asleep. The alarm went off at sometime around 530 i think. i ate some toast and said good bye to daniel. i picked up my mom and nicole and we went and got our hair done. By this time im neither excited or nervous. Just tired! lol (go figure im the one that stayed home and I was tired). I got back to my moms house @ like 815 and started to do my makeup. at like 825 the door bell rings! it was the photog! a HALF HOUR early! im not even DRESSED! neither is my mom or nicole. And my dad and ian have been working on it. lol. So we rush to get my makeup on and then we go to get the dress on. That wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. it only took like 10 mins to lace me up and get my shoes on. Everything from there is a blur. The rest of the girls at this point got to my moms house and we all had some pix. Then we got in the limo and got to benjamins a little early. We sat in the limo and waited until most people were inside. We got up stairs and im just itching to get going. everyone keeps saying how pretty i look and damn i did feel pretty! Every last detail was perfect. Im waiting up at the top of the stairs and my dad is freeking out a bit sipping water and acting strange. The coordinator gives me a tissue, that i told her i wouldnt need. lol. (really im such a boy). I walk down the isle and the first thing i see is dan bawling, which made me start to cry. (thanks). Then my dad wispered in my ear that he loves me and hes very proud of me. Made me cry harder. I ended up giving my tissue to dan, he looked like he needed it. The ceremony was nice and once i got the cry out and looked out into the crowd i was much more relaxed. We siad our vows, lit the unity candle and then it was over! we went out (on the hottest day of the yr- no lie) to go get pix. that was a lot of fun. and i can not wait to see those!!! we came back and found out there was minimal drama, but i will not get into that because damn it, its my day and NO ONE will taint these memories. =) Everyone had a great time. the food was awesome! and the portions were huge. the cake was the BEST cake i have ever had. Dans moms family welcomed me to the family and told me how much they like me and how nice dan is (duh) =0). We danced our first dance then i danced with my dad, which made me cry. dan danced with his gramma, which i honestly didnt see cuz i was talking to my mom and aunt (oppps!) i went around and saw people and all of the wedding party and our friends had a GREAT time dancing. I danced with ian which was funny cuz we were acting stupid. Dan looked so cute all dressed up and it was nice to see people. Then towards the end of the day, my dj announces that my dad has a surprise for me! HE SANG! haha. it was so sweet I cried AGAIN. (so much for NOT needing the tissue). then dans family left, and we did our last dance and everyone circled around us. The day went by SO fast!! and it was so perfect. i look back and i have to smile, i never realized how many people cared about us and were happy for us. We got home and the first thing we did was open gifts! we did really well! Then we took off for The cape. The cape was perfect. it was nice and warm and sunny all weekend and dan and i laughed a ton. It was so perfect just to hang out with him and laugh and be silly. We went to the beach, Shopped, and ate at villagio. Then we went out for drinks @ british beer company. We also on our last day, drove up to the light house and that was nice too.
Over all my wedding was perfect, my parents really care alot about us and I'm very lucky to have dan. I can't believe Its all over! But it was perfect and i couldnt have asked for anything more.

I'm so happy for you! I'm glad you had a great ceremony and honeymoon. Wish I could've been there! (The ceremony, not the honeymoon, hee.)
