I looooooved reading all about your wedding day! I admire you planning this so far from home. Our wedding was an hour and a half away and everything was planned via email and facebook messages with florists/bakery/food/venue, and that was tough enough - I could have driven over there fairly easily if I needed to. Even with the weirdness you experienced, it all seemed to go pretty seamlessly, which must have been a huge relief. It all looked amazing!
Thank you!! It was a little stressful to plan a wedding from a distance sometimes, but they had it all under control in the end.
I had flashbacks with the cake thing. We had two cakes at ours, the white wedding cake, with raspberry buttercream filling that I wanted sooo badly, and a chocolate groom's cake with choc covered strawberries and ganache all over it. I think I had two bites of each and I was so disappointed b/c I was incredibly excited about those cakes!
Your cakes sound amazing!! So frustrating that brides and grooms don't usually get to enjoy the cake...
Your description of the hairdresser cracked me up - your hair turned out great despite her grouchy protestations.
Haha yeah...she was something else... But everything worked out in the end!!
Super excited for the next one and hopefully seeing you at DHS!!

Yay, me too! Do you have FB message access in the parks? That's probably the easiest way to stay in touch since I have a Canadian cell #. Closer to the time we can hopefully coordinate a meet
I can imagine how exhausted you were! I'm glad you guys were able to head back to the room and relax, nap and decompress!
The hair stylist sounds so rude! But I'm glad she did a good job and you were happy with the result!
Yeah, it was wild and exhausting, but excellent!
She was a real piece of work! But everything was fine in the end
I love your hair cut! The short hair is really flattering on you!

Glad you were able to relax and nap in between the ceremony and dinner.
Thank you!! Sometimes I already find myself getting pony tail envy, so I suspect I'll grow it out again eventually. But I really like it short, too. I couldn't believe how quickly I could blow dry it! lol
I love your socks. I too love Chapters/Indigos. I always stop in when we go to Montreal to visit the in-laws. Here we have Barnes & Nobles and I could live there too. They had reading socks the other night and I had them then I put them back, now I want to go back and get them. I love your hair cut.
Thanks! Chapters is an awesome spot! You're right, similar to Barnes & Noble—it's been a long time since I've had a chance to go there.
I must admit I haven't been to Chapters in a loooong time.
I think not since... last week.

Too long!!
psssst. This is where you're supposed to say "Oh, no, pkondz. You are incredibly handsome."
Oh yeah, of course, my bad. The handsomest. For sure.
The video clip you shared the other day was TOO cute! You're so talented! I hope you get to find other ways to keep singing while you're busy student-ing!!
Thanks so much! I'm sure I won't be able to keep away from the music opportunities for too long.
Those socks are AWESOME--so cozy looking!!
I love them! I wear them far too often!
Love your description of how the haircut went. I love how it turned out...seems like you really dodged a bullet there with Margaret Thatcher holding the scissors. She really did well for herself LOL!!
Hahah thanks! Yeah, she was really something. But she ended up doing a pretty nice job in the end.
Your hair looks amazing that short! I recently was trying to grow mine out, but cut it after about three months. Couldn't take it anymore
Thank you!! I really like it. I do find myself occasionally getting pony tail envy these days, but I'll be keeping it short for a while yet, I'm sure.
Really? Ours are only 2- one for titer, one for reading it. Do they insist on a cxr every time too?
Yeah, it's wild! We have the option of doing a 1-step (which is the same as what you have to do) or a 2-step, which is two different titres at least a week apart, and our program requires the 2-step. Blech. Glad to have it done now!
How incredibly fun is that?!
Right!? I have another engagement tonight singing carols at a retirement facility. The seniors are usually an especially appreciative audience.
Thank you!
That hair dresser seemed less than... helpful. But she did do a nice job!
I agree on both fronts. She was a piece of work! But she didn't do a half bad job, so no complaints.
Trying to get caught up after my long hiatus, but getting there.
Welcome back! It's so easy to get behind...harder to dig yourself out...
Hope the rest of your exams went well. Loving the caroling outfit. What a fun way to spend the holidays.
Thanks!! It's a pretty fun time. I'm headed out this evening for another one.
Good to see you finally got some much deserved rest. I seriously have no idea how you kept going that long. Especially with all the adrenaline. Crashing was most definitely in order.
Yeah, we were pretty wiped! But worth it
I can't believe you cut your hair within hours of getting married!!!! It looks awesome, though you were awful brave to stick through it with Margaret Thatcher. I think I would have hightailed it out of there for fear of leaving with a teased up hair helmet
Haha yeah, it was a bit of a bold move! But fun! I'm surprised I didn't just hightail it out of there when I met the hairdresser though...
Thank you!
