rkoldLook, Rachel's sappy LJ post with lots of cuts for those who don't want to read it lol.
So I survived the wedding, and the most interesting aspect, which I should note is NOT typical for ultra-orthodox weddings. The groom's sisters and mother were wearing what looked like.. umm.. well.. bridal gowns. When I first walked in and saw one sister I thought the hall was holding two weddings that evening! It's not just that their dresses were off-white, they had ballgown skirts, lots of lace, and well, they looked like bridal gowns.
There was a wall of shrubbery separating the dance floor and the band attempted to make us all go deaf. We left at 11 and dessert had not yet been served. o_O However if dessert was anything like the main course, it was most definitely skipable. The appetizers were OK but.. well I wouldn't have *MY* overpriced event there.
The highlight, when the groom's fratboy friend grabbed my brother's hands and lead him onto the dance floor.
I am so thankful for my husband, more so than anything else, and today was a prime example of why. At 8:00 am, EMS appeared at the door with my dolls and he went to get them in his boxers. lol (And he looked mighty cute too!) Then, he called me today so I would not miss my chance to enjoy the chocolate fountain at Synagogue. If that's not love, I don't know what is.
I'm also thankful for my cats, who keep my bed warm and fill our house with shed fur.
I'm thankful for my family, who live near me mostly and I get to see them a lot.
I'm thankful for my friends, who sometimes shake me when I am being indecisive, cheer me up when sad, and think of me.
I'm thankful for YuuYuu because it amuses me so much.
I'm thankful for my house.
I'm thankful I am going to Japan soon.
I'm thankful my husband turned on the heat. lol
I'm thankful my husband and I are healthy.
I'm thankful for all my possessions.
I'm thankful for the internet and wireless.
I'm thankful for roller coasters.
and
I'm thankful for chocolate fountains.
Who got her two MSD FCS boys and her Sato One Off today, why I did!!!! Much love to a particular friend who loaned me her address and sent them to me.
I will take more, but a few for now..

For those curious, I have Japan dates! Because I am using miles, I've had to change my dates. ^^;; December 15 I leave the US for Kansai flying Business Class *sighs happily* and on the 4 or 5 I leave Narita (Business Class wait list) for NY. I'm so thankful I got Business Class one way, and hopefully will get it coming back. Business Class is so much nicer on long flights, plus I get a plug!
