Well, it's done. Got married on Saturday, and life is now returning to normal.
Weird.
It was great to see people -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kittenfemme, some of my cousins, friends, the usual. *grin* There were some great comments in the midst of getting things set:
On nailpolish:
My mother: "Is that No, I'm Not A Waitress?"
kittenfemme (not missing a beat): "No. It's Chick Flick Cherry."
kittenfemme on makeup: "I thought, will Willa have (whatever)? No."
(note - i was also informed exactly how hopeless i am when it comes to makeup. i feel special.)
What follows is the first batch of, well. stuff...
First off, forraventhourne, the chocolate cheesecake recipe: Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Cheesecake
Secondly, the wording bits:
The Reading
"Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck." - Chapterhouse Dune by Frank Herbert
his vows
i promise to love, honour and cherish you.
for richer or poorer,
for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
whether operating system of choice be osx, windows, or one of the various distros of unix/linux
whether our series in life converge or diverge
and on all federal holidays.
in the presence of these people staring at us,
i, ryan, take you, willa,
to be my wife, as time approaches infinity
until our water is taken from us
my vows
i promise to love, honour and cherish you.
for richer or poorer,
for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
whether your author of choice be herbert, atwood, palahnuik or helprin,
whether our paths are straight and narrow or not
and on all federal holidays.
in the presence of these people staring at us,
i, willa, take you, ryan,
to be my husband, as time approaches infinity
until we find our way out of the land of the dead.
And now, we've got some photos from my mother. I can't wait until I see what other people took, and whatbdrisco took. I'm really hoping there's one of just kittenfemme and I that someone got.
kittenfemme - the most fabulous Maid of Honor anyone could ever want. Would have gone insane without her. Seriously.
The Jack and Sally cake toppers. That's a cheesecake under there - I made six of the little buggers.
bdrisco, domnall, Shane (the best man), domnall's sister - Sonya, and me.
domnall and bdrisco
Us and various McGuire cousins.
My parents, us,domnall's mother.
squeeky_v, the ever-adorable little sister, and me.
More as they come!

My friend and I were just having a conversation about people who write their own vows, and that we thought they always come out sounding stupid and lame.
You just proved me wrong.
Lots of hugs. It sounds like you found a good partner. Good for you!
