Sadie, Sadie married lady..

that's ME! (a song from Funny Girl for those not up on their Broadway allusions)

Well folks I have gone and gotten myself married, so I guess I'm Mrs. Queenan Potato from here on out. Of course all brides will tell you their wedding was the best, but y'all know mine really was. I mean the weather was perfect, the food was fabulous, and Sweetpotato didn't pass out during the ceremony so I'm claiming success!

Now I know I told you I wasn't gonna diet and I really didn't on purpose but I have to tell you that between the stress and the nerves and the constant entertaining, I didn't have time to eat for about 5 straight days. Can you imagine? My poor body has never missed a meal and then allofa sudden it's runnin' on sweet tea and adrenalin. The day before my wedding I saw numbers on that scale that haven't appeared since college. Hell, if I could get married once a month y'all'd be callin' me Ms. Richie.

Of course now I'm a little sad, I mean I've been practicing my whole life for a day entirely about me and here it's come and gone in the blink of an eye and my coach is back to a pumpkin. I guess that's what photos are for. You know I had just the most fabulous photographer, but even he couldn't catch me in a candid moment. I don't really believe in unposed pictures, what's the point? Why on earth would you want a picture of yourself mid-sentence with your eyes closed when you could be giving your best toothy grin? Lord one time, many, many years ago I didn't realize a photo was being taken and in my younger days I wasn't the classy broad I am today, so there I was in the corner of the frame justa a pickin' my nose to beat the band. Last week at a big wedding party there it was, blown up to life size and plastered to the wall for all to see. You have to love your family that will wait 14 YEARS to embarrass the hell out of you in front of your in-laws. Well, I have learned my lesson folks, hence it will be a cold day in hell before you catch this girl off guard!

Anyhoo, we had a fabulous time and while I don't have the pictures yet, let me just say that I was absolutely beautiful. I know everybody tells the bride she looks lovely, but my guests really meant it;-)
So today I'm off on my honeymoon across the pond, and while I will be thinkin' of y'all, I probably won't be writing cause there is wine to be drunk and love to be made. I promise to give you the full report upon my return...well, maybe not the FULL report, but the PG stuff at least. So y'all go surf the net while I'm away but don't forget about Queenie, y'all come back now, ya hear?
