OMG !! Did you hear Q got married!!!

A little while ago I yelled at Amber for deleting our earlier blog posts when she decided to tidy things up. I *cough* very calmly explained to her that a blog worked like a journal and you could look back and reflect on previous posts. Wow… I should have actually listened to what I was saying as I have just revisited my last post which was really not that long ago, yet so much has changed. In particular my comment "I have learnt that IF I ever go the SL relationship road again blah blah blah"…..ummm I have and big time. Yes people for those who don't already know on 6 March 2009 at 5am SLT…. I married Mitch in a lovely ceremony written and officiated at by Amber.

In true Q&A style we were so organised that I actually found myself on the day at a loss because I had nothing to keep me occupied. Although in true wedding style something had to go wrong at the last minute and after all Amber's hard work at selecting just the right music, her PC decided to give up the ghost an hour before the ceremony, whereupon she commandeered the family laptop proceeded to frantically download music and programs but alas the stream still refused to work. All the while, mind you periodically calling first on the phone and then in IM a nervous (that would be me) bride and speaking very calmly and saying everything would be fine and of course it was, the radio station that Amber selected played just the right selection of music at the right time.

Although as I did explain to Amber later, I had complete faith in her organising something with the music and the nerves really had nothing to do with that. Yes I knew I wanted to do this, I knew I wanted to commit to this relationship yet for some strange reason (who knows why) I never thought that my reactions to waiting to walk down to be married would be the same as in FL but they were, I remember waiting in my room, and making my AV pace back and forth and thinking how silly that was. But you know it wasn't silly at all, what it was, is what SL is an expression of what you are feeling inside and at that moment the pacing expressed visually my nervousness. I remained nervous until I tp'd down behind the trees to wait to walk down and I could read the chat… and of course Zen was being his usual daggy self and all I could do was laugh.

I know there were some lovely wishes from those there, but honestly I only know from later reading the chat log, from the moment I set foot on the red carpet and then was walked down the aisle by Della and right through the ceremony all I could focus on was Mitch and I and what Amber was saying, everything else was totally in the background. Again, a surprise to me who usually manages to multitask quite well, but again as it would be in FL, the ceremony was about Mitch and I, my mind and all my feelings were focused on him, so there was no room for anything else.

The place looked amazing thanks to Amber's wonderful decorating skills, everyone who could make the unusual time we had the wedding looked just stunning and well as always they are some of the best people around and Mitch and I thank them so much for being there for us and sharing our wedding with us and we also thank everyone who although unable to attend sent us their lovely thoughts and words.
