Visions of Mimosas, Make-Up and Music: The Wedding-Day Morning

You know what wedding-day thought gets me all antsy and giddy inside!? Other than marrying my Sealman and spending lots of time with all the people I love most in this world, I am uncontrollably excited for the morning of the wedding.

This is about how I think it will go down (I'm interested to see how this vision matches up with the day's actual events but I suppose we'll have to wait quite a few months to make that comparison):

• I will spend the night in the bridal suite with my bridesmaids and will get an insufficient amount of rest. I never sleep well the night before big important days—first day of school, interviews, presentations...you name it. I can only imagine that this will be exponentially more difficult with the presence of my ladies and our established ability to chat well into the night.

• My alarm will sound and I will curse my existence for not getting more rest the night before. This awakening will be followed by a mild panic attack upon noticing some nasty bags under my eyes.

• Said bridesmaids, who will now be joined by other female family members (i.e. Mama Seal, FMIL Seal and my aunties), will assure me that my eyes look beautiful and well-rested. Eager to believe them, all will easily be forgotten and we will enjoy some breakfast and mimosas while awaiting the arrival of our hair and makeup entourage.

• While listening to a customized playlist for that very morning, our make-up and hair will git did.

• Via a trusted courier, Mr. S and I will exchange cards and gifts from our respective rooms. This will be a widely photographed occasion of which I will immediately regret once I start blubbering like a baby—Mr. Seal's cards always make me cry.

• The make-up artist will touch up the mess Mr. Seal's sentimental words made of my face.

• I will then skip to track 12 on the wedding-day playlist and my sappy tears will morph into "I'm ready to get hitched" excitement! 

Enter Bruno Mars:

• The florist will arrive with our bouquets and all will simultaneously squeal in floral merriment!

• Mama Seal will help me get into my wedding gown (which will fit absolutely perfectly).

• After three more hairspray and perfume showers, the ladies and I will head down to the lobby. When done posing for a few pictures, we'll hop on the cable car to the church where my groom awaits.

If I'm a big nerd for daydreaming about this so often then...color me some super nerdy color.

Am I the only one? Do you ever think about the morning of your wedding and how you'll spend it?


Lots of love and appreciation,

Miss Seal
