Hitched!

So Jer and I finally got married.

Recovering from a wedding weekend, even if it was a really small wedding, is almost as stressful as planning the damn thing in the first place. Our place is slowly returning to its normal, pre-‘Hurricane Wedding’ state, and we’re slowing getting things cleaned out. We also finally opened our wedding presents (!!) this weekend, and finally got all the boxes and wrapping paper out of the apartment.

I’ve never seen so much packaging in my life, not even when I was helping my friend out at his ebay business and he was moving plenty of inventory daily. I’m surprised at how much stuff we got, although I feel rather guilty about how much money people spent on us. We actually got the iPod mini we put on our Amazon registry as a “droooool yeah right!” kind of thing…. (!!!!!). I’m still not entirely comfortable with the notion of a registry, but we got a lot of items we really needed for the apartment (like… silverware.. and glasses… and wine…), so I guess it worked out ok…?

So married life is a lot like engaged life, except now I get to talk about “my husband” instead of “my fiance.” I’m definitely not used to that yet. It’s weird hearing that term coming out of my mouth in reference to a significant other. My exposure to women who refer to their “husbands” generally comes from my hearing my parents’ friends discussing their lives. It’s not a term I feel comfortable owning yet, but I guess I will soon enough.

Okie, time to go home. sorry for the short and sporadic updates… just no time…

  1. Good god, this day finally happened! Me and Jo had made bets and looks like I’m out a bowl of Pho. (Damn it Pearl, couldn’t you have waited like…one more year?) Anyhow hallo, I’m still amazed you are link #1 for ‘Pearlescent’. Those be mad skillz.

  2. meta tag skillz! meta tag. And congrats on the big day, my sis is getting married soon and I don’t envy all the driving, shopping, begging, bargaining, mood swings, telephoning, weeping, etc she been doing in just the first months of planning. But boy, did she ever have the most contented smile on her face when she tried on that dress though. (Wonder if it was the dress or how skinny that corset made her look. *laugh*)
