Last Post.

Last post as an unmarried woman, that is. I felt it might be nice to do a post about the night before in anticipation of the day-of.

It's all about burning the midnight oil here at the C. household. Mom is in the kitchen making streudelkuchen from my grandmother's recipe, Dad's watching late night television on BBC about the early constructs of India, and I'm sitting in my temporary room writing it all down.

The only things I am truly worried about tomorrow are not messing up the vows and making sure H. and I don't mess up the rest of the ceremony. He was a little uneasy about the super quick run-through that we were given. I feel that - in the presence of family and friends and love all around - everyone will laugh with us if we mess something up. Nothing about the reception makes me anxious, even though there's a few more things to do tomorrow morning.

The photographer is willing to stay with H. and I after the reception tomorrow, seeing as how our whole shindig will probably last about 6.5 hours. Sort of makes you wonder where all the time goes, doesn't it? So after he and I have had a bite to eat for dinner, I'm taking suggestions for where we go to take newlywed photos in the setting sunlight. I might want to go back to that fire station to get an After shot for the Before we captured during our engagement photoshoot.

In twelve hours, four minutes, and twenty seconds, I will be on my way to a beautiful marriage to the man I want live out the rest of my days with. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is something wonderful to dream about. Goodnight, and God bless.
