alright, i've got a lot to write about but i'm not so sure i'll be able to remember everything, but i'll try!
saturday: woke up around 8 and got things together. mom, her mom and i went to get our nails done (i got a pedicure, mom got a manicure and a pedicure and g'ma got a manicure) at two tone nails outside our neighborhood. we made sandwiches for lunch then around 1 we finally left to get to college station. we got there around 3-ish and stopped by the apartment to give rob his pants for the rehearsal and then went to check into the hotel. TALK ABOUT NICE!! ok, i reserved a queen suite for my brothers and i and a queen room for my parents (the two were connected by one of those door things) but our bathroom was AMAZING!! too bad i didn't get to take a bath in it... we had a tv in the bathroom and the tub was REALLY nice and...oh man. i wanna go back again sometime! anyway, we got our stuff into the rooms and changed into our clothes and were late to the rehearsal. when we got to the chapel, we did the rehearsal thing but since jessica (the maid of honor) wasn't there, joann stood in in her place. joann and i started crying as soon as the stuff started...and then when we were actually running the thing from the beginning (like, walking down the aisle and everything) i started crying again but lee was such a sweetheart and kept telling me it was ok and...yeah. (thanks, lee!) oh yeah...ok, so none of the grandmothers were at the rehearsal (because they didn't really need to be there) so joann and i "sat in" as grandmothers so that the ushers could get a feel for how all of that stuff was going to go. since there are 4 g'mas and 2 of us, joann and i had to keep going up and down and back around and the minister was like, "you guys are going to have to stop this cuz you're beginning to make me seasick!" it ws funny, but i guess you had to be thre... ok, so the rehearsal went pretty well and then we walked over to rudder tower (11th floor rudder tower-the faculty club) where the rehearsal dinner was being held. TALK ABOUT FREEZING COLD IN THERE!!! goodness...i think they were trying to freeze us all to death. *sigh* whatever. ok, so the food was alright (i didn't really like the chicken but i liked everything else) and after we ate, a group of us went outside so we could warm up and...it was nice. then we went back to the hotel and the guys went bowling and...i watched the olympics in the hotel while my mom and dad went somewhere. it was fun.
sunday: i woke up around 7 because...yeah. and i went to wake up the boys, i took a shower, got dressed and we went downstairs to eat breakfast. church was at 8 but my family LEFT me when i went upstairs to get my shirt. so i went with my cousins at 10 and then came back to the hotel and my aunt, betty, did mine and my mom's hair for the wedding then we got dressed and headed over to the chapel and i was starting to cry and...yeah. the wedding was really nice, i cried almost the whole way through it. before lee and i walked down the aisle, i was really shaking and almost crying and he told me to calm down and breathe and stuff like that, so when it was our turn to go, i tried to smile long enough that the photographer could get a decent picture of us (with me smiling) then once we passed her, i couldn't keep my tears in anymre. everyone was really amazed that i held it together as well as i did because my grandmother (sitting right behind me--where i was standing) started BAWLING and it made me really want to cry, but i didn't because i was up front and didn't want to draw attention away from the bride and groom. lee kept giving me reassuring looks, though. SUCH a sweet guy! lee sat next to me at the reception, i cried during the dances, lots of pictures, it was too sweet. david and i left last night to get home so i could get going through my college stuff and...here i am. sorry for missing all the good details, but...yeah. it's been a long weekend!
JEN, WELCOME TO THE DORNIER FAMILY!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
