Wedding Bells!

Hey!
Well, it's 10:14pm on Sunday, and I am still at home (Covington home, not Athens home)-I was so tired that I fell asleep after eating (around 7:30) sitting at the counter. And I mean...face down on the counter and totally out. So, I agreed with Dad that it was better to head back to school in the morning than to try to stay awake in the dark and in the rain by myself on the road tonight. Why was I so tired? Well....

Last week, like the five before it, was packed with tests, papers, etc. Last week alone, I had three quizzes, three papers, a test, an oral exam in Spanish, typed Q&A stuff for a psych debate, and my regular classes and homework. Saturday was Henry and Dana's wedding, which Tom was in, but Friday was also Tom's initiation into Theta Xi...so he had to be in Atl for the initiation and in Augusta for the rehearsal...

On Friday, I packed up my stuff, went to classes, then drove to my parent's house. Tom was already on his way to Augusta by the time that I got there. Mom and Dad left for the rehearsal dinner, which I couldn't make it to since I was riding with Tom to make sure he stayed awake, and Tom picked me up around 7:40 or so (he had to miss the dinner also for the initiation), and we took off for Atlanta. When we got there, he and Davey headed to Theta Xi for his intitiation, while I went to Harry Potter with Robert Lee, Hetty, and their friends Kat and Kyle. That was a lot of fun-the movie is awesome. I usually see Harry Potter movies with Esther, but I thought that all the girls were gonna go see it in Augusta after the rehearsal dinner. Turns out they didn't, so I kinda feel bad, but I still had a great time with the ppl I went with! I'm just gonna go again with Esther-It's so good!! We came back, and Tom arrived not too long after..around 2:30 or 3AM. Then he and I left for Augusta. We stopped in Covington to get gas and coffee for him and some coughdrops for me, and we were both like zombies when we finally got to the hotel around 6:30am. But Tom stayed awake, so mission accomplished! =) I got in bed around 6:40, and I guess Tom did around then too. I got up around 10 the next day bc stupid check out was at 11, so Dad called and told me to wake up. That was awful. Tom had gotten up around then bc pics were at 11 for the wedding party, so he had no more sleep than me, and even less since he had not slept but about 3 hours Thursday night...gotta love fraternity hell weeks huh?

I went to see Jonathan, Lisa, Tyler, and Maddie with mom and dad, and AUUUGH! Those kids are too cute! I love 'em! =p Then we all got ready for the wedding, and headed to the church. WOW...I was sort of weirded out when Seth and Rachel got married bc he was even younger than Henry, but for some reason it was even stranger watching Henry and Dana say their vows. Henry looked very nice, and Dana...wow-she was just breath-taking-Absolutley gorgeous! Her dress was really pretty, and she had this super long train that went all the way to the floor, which you never see anymore, and I really loved it. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen looked great in the outfits picked for them. Esther looked like a friggin model! Seriously, I wish I knew how to make myself look like I just stepped out of a magazine anytime I wanted. I told Lisa that I thought she looked pretty, and she said, "Yeah, Esther always just has a glamorous look, doesn't she?" No one can deny that. lol

After the wedding, we danced until night at the recepetion, which was a lot of fun! =) It was awesome because Suzanne got Ben to dance, and Mr. Tommy and Mrs. Patti even got out there and danced. One lady that I haven't ever met kept wanting me and Tom to go dance if we ever quit for a break, and then told me I should teach Claire to dance since she wouldn't. It was kinda weird, but more funny than anything. Oh yeah, I also caught the bouquet. LOL I don't know if that was on purpose by Dana or not, but the look on Tom's face was priceless. hahaha Henry basically threw the garter at Tom, but some kid who looked about 12 jumped out and grabbed right before Tom caught it, but I don't think that upset Tom any! haha We got enough jokes from me catching the bouquet! *wink* ;)

Today, I sang in our church choir for the first time, and I woke up with half my voice, so I didn't help too much. They didn't seem to mind, so it's all good I guess. Tom came with me to get Lucy from the kennel, and it was so funny because she ran out and saw us both and ran at me then at the last second ran up to Tom then ran back towards me. Tom liked to rub in my face that she betrayed me for him, but whatever-he was a detour on the way to see her mama! =) I love my doggy! I bought her this $4 basted pig bone, and she loves it. =) I also got pics today from semiformal, so I will scan and post them and some wedding pics soon.

Alrighty, I am going to head off now. I have written yall enough to last a while. lol
Love,
Meghan
