The Wedding (contd)

D Day!!!
Boy what a day it was. Even today if you ask me the minute details of that day, i can’t tell you. It was like i was doped or something. I was sooooo zonked out. i had blanked out. There was this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was getting married, moving out of my house, becoming a part of a new family and most of all, like Monica from F.R.I.E.N.D.S says “I was going to live with a boy!!” I couldn’t focus. I just put all my energy and thoughts into looking good because it was the only area my mind would allow me to concentrate on.
I have to mention “The Gang”. They were just great. They were they from 7 am till the end. They are simply the best pals in the entire world. They came at 6.30, just to do my face. And who can forget the reception; my gals made me look like a dream. I couldn’t believe it when it was me when i looked in the mirror!
Throughout the reception and the wedding, i was just blank. Blank and nervous. But when THE MOMENT arrived, the moment when that yellow thread would go around my neck. My heart started doing the “dubdubdubdudb” thingy again. That’s when i woke up. Man the panic, “that throat closing, you can’t breathe feeling”. Tears were threatening to fall. I just mutely followed the directions of the “vadhiyar” and before you know it, the thread was around my neck. The moment it went around my neck, the whole world seemed to stop functioning. It seemed like everything around me was slowing down to freeze. It was just me and him. And that’s when i felt it – that unmistakeable unshakeable feeling that THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE ONE!!! The moment i had been waiting for, it felt so right!!!! At that second i knew, all would be well, in fact it would be heaven. Trust me guys, since then, till date it has been heaven. It might sound clichéd, even unbelievable maybe but it’s been a wonderful seven months. Some days we do work hard to make things work but hell that’s to be expected, right??? I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to spend my life with. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter and welcoming family. Finally in my long life of 23 years (;) ;) ) i am at a happy place. :D :D :D :D
