Mr. & Mrs. Adam Carlson
By the time I actually get the professional photos up which we don�t have yet it is going to be SO anti-climactic! The photos we got from my friend Marc are simply incredible but I didn’t want to post any more photos till I actually wrote something I have the photos from the various people that manned both my parents and my camera as well. All the photos will be on my flickr eventually.
We leave on Sunday for the ‘moon’ I can not believe how busy this week has been I have had no time for nothing.
There were what I am sure are the expected last minute dramas that come up before the wedding from realizing I had left two very important people off the corsage list, having my eye cut and bruised by the bitch who did my eyebrow, lip and chin threading, she TOTALLY missed most of my chin too. [I got ALL my money back on that one] to my girlfriend/make up artist and hair almost not making it in from Calgary to my Aunt showing up, God only knows when.
I got the giggles the night before trying to fall asleep I took half a sleeping pill but it did not go down right and I could taste it in my mouth but wasn’t falling asleep. Little did Gus know it was my last night as an unmarried woman because she was meowing all over for Adam to come home. And yes Dr. York this does mean Gus is a legitimate child now.
I got up at 6:40am. Getting ready felt like I feel before I run a race the only difference being most ten kilometer, half and full marathons start early, anywhere between 7 and 8 and I had to wait out that feeling of I’m going to barf I’m going to pass out till 4:30pm. Those feelings came and went though I was ok at times and just went with the madness that is getting a bride to the ceremony. Though really I think Niki G was ready to knock me out if I smudged my nails one more time. Four women plus myself could not find the ‘hook’ that I would need for my train and we were convinced that they had sewn up the hole for it, we got in the limo and my dad found it in 2 seconds he said “give me that dress” and BAM the train holder appeared, we busted out the champagne.
The ceremony was fantastic. Holy shit for real man, like I knew I was going to go either crying mess or laughing ME. I was convinced I was going to be the crying mess. Turned out we were both laughing and giggling US.
Our Vows:
i promise to love, honour and cherish you to the max.
for richer or poorer,
for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
and on all federal holidays.
in the presence of these people staring at us,
i, your name, take you, other your name,
to be my wife/husband, forever and ever, and ever,
until we die to death.
The Ring Vow:
take this off at your own peril
The JP at the rehearsal asked if we were seriously going to say that ring vow and umm yeah we wrote it. I was concerned Adam’s family was going to assume I wrote it but Adam did and he wrote the full vows. It got back to us there had been debate among the guests as to which one or if both of us had written them but although I had input privileges they are all Adam. We had also planned on doing our secret hand shake which is not so secret anymore, known now as the SHS before the kiss, we told only the MOH and BM the photographer and the JP- no one else. The SHS went off without a hitch and then we kissed turned around and walked back out to KISS, I Was Made for Loving You. My MOH had walked up to Billy Idol, White Wedding it was AWESOME! All the music the guests heard playing at the ceremony was later given as a CD favor we made and apparently people like it!
I’m dying to see the professional shots. I can’t wait for them!! I can’t, I have to, I can’t!
Considering how fantastic some of the shots Marc got [these are all his] the wait is going to seem like forever!
Edit: All the photos we have received thus far are now on my flickr.
