Wedding Day!!!

Going to make this short for now, since I've been up for over 24 hours straight.  The wedding ceremony went GREAT.  My station was there, but somehow the rival station caught wind as well and snuck on the train, no idea how!!  Anyway, this is the story they did on us, which is pretty cute.  https://www.wdio.com/article/stories/S3117313.shtml?cat=10335

Highlights??  1) After we got there and were dressed I was waiting for my mom to arrive.  I called her and was talking with her on the phone when I saw my sister, who had told me it was impossible for her to make it.  Ran over and hugged her and started crying ... then a couple minutes later my co-workers were telling me I needed to get in front of the camera for the live interview.  Still on the phone with my mom, crying, I had to pull myself together and look halfway intelligent to be on TV.  Yikes!  I managed.  =) 2) During our vows a couple times we (mostly me) messed up.  Best one was when I said I will laugh AT you in times of joy instead of WITH.  Haha.  3) Immediately following our vows, when we were supposed to kiss, the train went through a tunnel and it went almost completely dark.  It looked like it was planned, it was so cool! 

In the end, I'm now a married woman, and so happy we were able to do it before the baby came!

  • @herbabymama - And just think, that was only one ceremony!  Duluth had another midnight ceremony.  We went to see it. 

    Thanks everyone for the congratulations!  I'm sure the baby will get an earful with all of the stories we have to tell from this year.  What an amazing time. 

    @ATXmommas - The whole thing was basically planned in a couple of weeks.  The guy that officiated runs the Depot, and I also work with him on occasion when we need a fill-in.  He said he could do it, but it's one of those "I'm not counting 100% on that until it's done" so when we met with him and the bookings lady, she said we could do it in one of three places, and the 12:30 train sounded the coolest!  Some of the family I invited (all were family except reporters, train staff, and two friend who we invited to witness) were invited literally two days before.
