September 3rd was our Rehearsal and Dinner. The shirts I had made for our bachelor/ette parties and for the rehearsal, and I'm so happy I did.
September 4th I became Mrs. EW. Wow, it still doesn't seem like it all happened. Everyone told me to try to remember many moments, and I really did try, however, it still seemed like a blur. The wedding went really well. However, I did find out that EW had a toothache and had to call the emergency dentist and get antibiotics and vicodin to help with the pain. I did not find this out until after the wedding, and after pictures were taken. Which, it was probably a good thing. He was pretty miserable, but he was a little trooper.
The reception was also great, and I'm so happy so many people were able to celebrate with us. The wedding night however didn't go as planned. I know what you are thinking, but get your minds out of the gutter!
Our wedding night went something like this: EW was laying in bed while I was opening cards. I looked at him and he just didn't look right. I put my hand to his head and he was burning up. Of course I freak. Then he starts convulsing. Great! So I continue to freak. I call my mom to bring some meds. She says to call my Aunt who works in a hospital (actually she works for the CDC) anyway, she says he should take some advil or tylenol. And no, this is not yet ER worthy (That's where I was going next if his fever didn't break). Thankfully, Mr. and Mrs. W (EW's parents) had some tylenol and all was good. I did end up playing nurse the rest of the night, administering pills and cold compresses.
So all in all it was an amazing weekend, and we have a great story to tell the kids not only about how we met, but the wedding night as well. Looking back, I wouldn't have had it any other way. No regrets, because that's just the way things were supposed to be!
I obviously have more pictures, but this is a good rundown of the Rehearsal and Wedding. The Reception will have to be another post!
