I woke up Friday morning
with adrenaline coursing through my body. Pre-wedding jitters had
officially kicked in and I was ready to go-go-go. I packed up all my
things since I was staying at the hotel for the next two nights and
then leaving directly for Westchester on Sunday morning. It
was a strange feeling leaving my parents' house that morning. Even
though I technically hadn't lived there since I was 18 it was still
very surreal knowing that the next time I walked through the door I
would be a married lady.
The rehearsal wasn't until
4 PM so everyone split up. Momma Coyote, MOH D and I had to pick up a few things and then had an appointment for mani-pedis. Mr.
Coyote was in charge of checking into the hotel and transporting the
gifts for our wedding party as well as some last minute items like
our guestbook, wine box and marriage certificate. Then he was meeting
our out-of-town groomsmen so they could pick up their tuxedos.
All day I was on high
alert. I was certain that whatever went wrong that day was going to
be a sign of things to come. I was so worried about forgetting
something or being late that I just could not relax. Instead of just enjoying the moment I was
constantly checking the clock and thinking about the next thing that
needed to be done. After a while I'm pretty sure my attitude started
to rub off on my companions (sorry Mom!).
After all that worrying we did in fact make it to the hotel
with plenty of time to get ready – meanwhile Mr. Coyote and the
guys were still at the tux
shop! After Thursday's shenanigans I kinda saw this coming,
but there was nothing that could be done. The guys arrived back at the hotel around 3:45 which would have been perfect... If everyone was dressed. Instead, all the guys scurried back to their hotel rooms to change while the handful of people who were ready headed across the street to Franklin Plaza. Ready or not, it was time to start our rehearsal.
Unfortunately I don't have
any photos of this part of the day because I was too wigged out to break out the camera...
That was going to slow us down! Fortunately, I did manage to relax enough to snap some photos during the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, so stick with me!
Miss a recap?
- I babble about being married and share our wedding video.
- We finish up some last minute wedding tasks and I have complete breakdown.
