    I felt… incredibly grateful and moved the day of my wedding.  I thought I would be a bundle of nerves. Instead, I was led through the day with laughter, tenderness, and mindfulness of the day's significance…by some of the dearest people in my life.

    I woke up beside my best friend, “A,” who came from the States for my wedding. She was my MOH and I consider her my sister.

    It was quite early, and she was still asleep. I quietly grabbed my laptop and opened the weather channel website in fear of rain. Then I scrolled down my facebook feed and absolutely died laughing! It was 5am and my close friend and hairstylist “M” had just returned from a club and posted pictures from his night out. One of the pictures was this:

    I forgot about the potential rain for once and broke out laughing.
    How on earth would he be able to be at my house in 6 hours ready to do our hair??

    It turns out most of my friends who came for the wedding all went out for a very late and very wild night! I hoped they had the energy for yet another wild night at the wedding reception! We Greeks keep dancing until the morning!

    M arrived on time and was in a good mood, telling us hilarious stories from the club. Apparently several friends who shall remain nameless took turns dancing in the club’s cage- LOL) M got started on A’s hair and soon after the rest of my friends arrived. Here are some highlights of the day:

    Yes even with my hair frizzed up like that I still managed to give orders!! lol

    A half hour before everyone was scheduled to leave, the house really filled up! Grandmothers, aunts, uncles and cousins were everywhere! It was a very intense time because although I had been quite calm all day, I started to get very tense and nervous. I cry SO easily. I cry at everything. I had kept it together all day (just a tear here and there), but now my makeup was on and the stakes were high!

    Then my father first saw me all ready in my dress…he started to cry. Well…there was no hope for me anymore. I started crying and my friends gathered round me trying to make me laugh and calm down.  

    My parents and I were in the car and on our way to the church…

    When I saw the first pic (before reading anything) I was thinking... that's a really odd place/way to get ready for the wedding.

     

    We need more pictures!!!

    Bring on the pics lady!!! I know you had a big, fabulous, Greek wedding and that your dress is to die for. One pic of you getting your hair done will not slake my thirst for stalking your recaps :)

     @KatNYC2011:  How's London treating you?

    @MrsCarnival:  Very well... we're actually leaving in about an hour for our honeymoon in Africa, I can't wait!

    Other than a dismal job market for me, London has been good so far and I've been meeting people through a riding/social club I joined so that's good as well.

    @LGenz:  Thanks! We will.

    I'm getting my last "fix" in before I go "off the grid" for 2+ weeks.
