So over the weekend...
I got married!!!
Wow...
I told you these last months have been crazy, right?
And it's nice to get it done before finals...
(Honeymooning will wait until after that)
It was a small wedding, big reception, easier that way, I think, and this, then, is the dress I wore...one of my sisters reads this blog this girl writes on paper dolls (http://www.joechip.net/liana/) and over spring break, I happened to be reading over her shoulder --bad habit, yes, I know! and I saw this outfit and liked it...and when the proposal came through, I immediately thought of that dress. My mother complained for awhile, but I'm stubborn, and why do they insist on white when everyone looks fat that way? So, enjoy my purple dress...or the paper-doll version.
I don't really feel like sharing the real thing, sorry! :)
However, in honor of the blessed occasion, I will share a piece I wrote on a napkin at the reception --note to my fellow writers planning weddings, make sure you have a small notebook included in your emergency supplies!!
Dancing Barefoot in a Purple Dress
Music sways me back and forth
My mind is in a spin
Round and round, laughter rings out
I've reached the fairy-tale fin
Time might stop for now and yet
I couldn't say a word
This bubbling feeling is not champagne
It almost seems absurd
Keeping time in 3 and 4
Someone offers a seat
But I just glide across the floor
Dancing with barefeet
I wish everyone else could be as happy as I...
