married

mike and shaleen are married.

the wedding was in salem today (about an hour's drive south - also the state capital) but we bridesmaids drove down yesterday for the rehearsal. things went remarkably smooth, due largely to the fact that the bride and groom were really enjoying themselves and were really relaxed. it was very sweet and lots of fun. everything went fine with 'the song'. i figured it would, but i was pretty nervous anyway. durring the ceremony the rest of the wedding party was between me and the seated guests, so i didn't really have to look at anyone. that was a little gift from God.

the reception was really fun. they fed us (and boy were we hungry by then!), gave us really yummy wine and had a dj that set up kareoke. we cut a crazy rug. it was great. now it's 12:30 am, but it's really 01:30 because of daylight savings time. i'm pooped, so i'm off to bed to rest up for my 'duvet day' tomrrow. my housemate and i are watching the dune miniseries, so i need my strength for all that viewing. it should be quite nice...i may not even get out of my pj's. oh what a lovely thought!
