It is late Saturday evening. As I am going through the photos of my wedding day, clicking “copy and paste” to the “BLOG” folder, all the glimpses of my wedding day come together. I am thinking to myself that the best day of my life went by so quickly… I never believed or really understood what it meant when someone would say that the wedding day is just one big blur… It is so true! You prepare this whole time and vroooom… it’s gone.
The week of the wedding was filled with love from the family and friends– from making our Norwegian cake to picking up the dress. It was so nice to spend a little time with our families. Although I wish I had a little bit more time with each!
The day of the wedding was relaxing and fun! The morning was spent with bridesmaids getting ready. It still didn’t hit me that I was getting married until the moment I was standing behind the door to the ballroom next to the buffet. I remember that I started to feel really nervous and started to cry… I was getting those white spots in my eyes… mouth felt dry…body felt cold. I heard music playing. Bridesmaids with groomsman started to walk… then it was me. Whew! I think I walked way too fast.. basically ran to the alter…haha. Here he was. My husband. Gosh, honestly the best moment… knowing that in a second I will be his wife, his forever and only! Marriage is truly the best gift of life.
The reception was so much fun! My bridesmaids planned some fun wedding games– the shoe game, blindfold game, and finally drawing game! So much laughter and so much joy. The first dance was cute… I could not stop giggling! Then came the tradition of the Norwegian wedding cake- a bride and a groom together lift the first “ring” layer and how many rings stick to it that is how many kids we will have! Ours had 9!
The night ended with sparklers!!
JUST MARRIED!
