Tired. Here, Look – Wedding Pictures!
Ah, Thanksgiving. Does anyone else get so tired after having people over and then cooking an elaborate meal for said people? Then the next day systematically eating all of the remaining pie and sweet potatoes?
After hosting my first major holiday, I decided to take Friday off. I sat in my pajamas all day, read my Storm of Swords and watched TV with Mike. We never just take days off like that, and I reveled in the glory of having no responsibilities and time to do whatever I felt like. Which was nothing.
Friday turned into Saturday.
Saturday turned into Sunday.
Sunday I finally got back (halfway, at least) into a semblance of a routine, including, *gasp,* a workout. But in reality, the only things I managed to accomplish on this holiday weekend was moving the furniture back into place after dismantling the temporary tables, single-handedly finishing off the last of the pumpkin pie, and finally, FINALLY sorting through my wedding photos.
Going through wedding pictures sounds like no big deal, right? Just shuffle through them and pick the ones where you don’t look like you’re sniffing glue and you’re golden.
Or so I thought.
I was married on September 10, 2011. In other words, it has taken me over a YEAR to go through these. This is partly due to my procrastinating techniques, which I have honed and mastered over the years.
It’s also because there are over 800 of these bad boys. It’s intimidating, to say the least.
So because I’m still so very, very tired and I worked incredibly hard to overcome the natural urge to procrastinate further, here are some of the photos for your viewing pleasure.
Please don’t make me do anything else today.
Side note: at first half of these pictures were of the cupcakes, but I pruned them back because even I thought it was a little excessive.

Nat,
Just wanted you to know that your pies were a hit with Mike! Better than ‘Marie C.s’!
As for being exhausted, I didn’t have an excuse except it was perhaps that big, bad, turkey you made! SCRUMPTIOUS!

Thank you! It was SO MUCH FUN!!

You look so beautiful! And happy. And by the way–what completely awesome shoes. (I’m more of a shoe person than a cupcake person.)
Natalie the Singingfool
I am a shoe person, too. I searched for weeks on ebay to find just the perfect ones to go with my dress. THAT is satisfying – finding the perfect shoes at a fraction of the cost.

You are a beautiful lady! And what a handsome groom you have! Love these pictures, thank you for sharing them. 🙂
Natalie the Singingfool
Thank you! Yes, I caught myself a keeper.

I always cry at weddings….and wedding pictures! It looked like such a beautiful day!!
Natalie the Singingfool
I do too! And it was a beautiful day! Even though I wasn’t lying about the rain the morning of the wedding. I just think it was a good luck omen.

Excellent choice in dresses… and dessert!

I’m not really here because I haven’t made it this far in your posts yet and also, you know how much I hate love and all BUT! I saw “Wedding pictures” and my stalker bell went off so I had to come peek and – remember, I hate love – I was all, “Awww! What pretty pictures!” until I saw the picture of you about to bite your husband and then I felt like the world was normal again.
Heh heh heh
Your first major holiday? As in “of the year” or “ever”? Because if this was your first ever: Congratulations! The fact that you can write today is a huge testimony to your strength and will to get out of bed and I applaud you because, dude! Hosting holidays IS EXHAUSTING!
Natalie the Singingfool
Thank you for stalking. 😉 And the one where I’m biting Mike is probably closest to reality…
Yes, first holiday EVER. I’m finally a grown up.
Man, it’s so tiring being a grown up.

More cupcakes! More cupcakes!!
But in all seriousness, you looked gorgeous, and the wedding looked absolutely beautiful! I loved your peacock “tail” too.
