one year ago today…i got my hair done, slid into a white dress, sipped champagne, prayed for sun, re-read my vows, united with frank for the first time, snapped hundreds of photos, felt drops of rain in the field, wondered when the rabbi was going to show up, reapplied my lipstick, signed the ketubah, bawled at the first note of “in a sentimental mood,” walked down the aisle (still bawling), listened to the most beautiful vows ever written, said “i do,” kissed my groom, relaxed in the silo with my husband, learned we made the new york times, attended our cocktail hour (trying not to miss a single appetizer), dined on phenomenal food, listened to beautiful words by friends and family, bussed back to the castle, bribed the bartender to stay open, smiled and smiled and smiled.
