I don't understand how some couples can wisk themselves away on a romantic honeymoon the day (or even a few days) after they get married. Or is that just another cultural myth? Even though the wedding is over there's still rentals to return, an unwanted dress to get cleaned, gifts to open, and many thank you cards to write.
Matt and I spent most of the today lounging around in the apartment. We're both still a bit worn down from the past couple of days. Right after we dropped our bags on the floor we both rushed to our respective pets. Sophie and my betta (which still needs a name) are doing fine, but Matt was dissapointed to find that his two guppies were still alive. He's hoping that they'll destroy each other so he can start over again with non-violent fish.
I don't really feel any different than before we were married. During the whole ceremony, I was fine... if anything uncomfortable from being on my feet all day in a heavy dress and heels. The hotel wedding coordinator commented that I was the calmest bride that she has ever seen. I think that's pretty remarkable since we saw about four different weddings (not counting our own) going on that weekend alone. It's a happy occasion and you're surrounded by friends and family, I'm really not sure what there is to be nervous about.
During the reception his best man was having fun refering to me as Matt's wife. He'd keep turning to Matt and asking him, "So how's your wife?" And I have to admit that I'm having a bit of fun calling Matt my hubby.
Much fun was had and much laughter was shared, but if we ever renew our vows, next time we're doing it right: Vegas, Elvis, and a red dress.
