The calm before the storm
On the Wednesday before the wedding there was nothing that we had to do until 3pm. I had a schedule starting at the crack of dawn Thursday, literally, going through midday Sunday, but Wednesday we were free. We wandered around the mall and returned a few gifts that were duplicates. We enjoyed some lunch and some ice cream (no more bridal diet at this point). And at 3pm I had a mani & pedi appointment. It was fabulously relaxing, although I had never had a manicure before so it was strange for me. I was very aware of my fingertips for a long time. After the manicure we went to get some engagement photos printed for our family members. Here is where the mistake was made. While we were waiting for the photos to be done (it only took 30 minutes), I suggested that we go to Pete’s to get a coffee and I didn’t get decaf. Ugh.
When we got home, we moved the furniture in our living room and created a dance floor to practice our dance. We had just learned the beginning and ending the night before, so we figured we should practice it. We were still practicing around 10:30pm, when my fiance finally kicked me out of the living room and up to bed. I had to get up at 4:15am the next morning to go to the flower mart. The problem? that darn coffee. I was pumped up on caffeine and could not go to sleep. I woke up every hour, worried about not getting up in time the next morning. It was a rough night.
