A Litte Sap, Alotta Dress

I'm finding the older I get, the more sentimental I get.  It's really foreign to me.  I usually don't get too weepy over things like Valentine's Day or our anniversary.  I get a little weepy about Zoe's birth, but that's a whole other story. 

It totally took me off guard to have this strong desire to look at our wedding photos and watch our wedding video yesterday in honor of Valentine's Day.  Fortunately I have an all-too-willing daughter who LOVES watching the video.  Sometimes her and Grandma just plug it in for fun.  I, on the other hand, haven't ever watched it.  I'm not really sure why, but it hasn't been something I've ever thought, "yeah, I'll watch my wedding video!" 

I've learned a few things from yesterday that I'd like to share:

1) If you put me on the stage, any stage, for any occasion, I will become a stand-up comedienne.  Apparently I feel a need to make people laugh and enjoy themselves.  This is especially evident when I forgot what the pastor had said and had to ask him to repeat part of our vow about commitment.

2) N and I talked most of the ceremony while the people were singing.  I have no idea what, but I think I may do some dub-over work and create a conversation for us.  That might be a great 10 year anniversary present.

3) I will never forget the look on N's face when I surprised him with the recessional song being the Star Wars Theme song.  The look he had was absolutely priceless.  When I think back to our wedding, that's the first thing I remember. 

4) When I'm in full sentimental mode, it's an all-out process.  Zoe LOVES my dress and plans to wear it when she gets married.  In true princess form, she asked if we had a carriage take us to the reception for dancing.  My darling little girl, I see so much of myself in her. 

5) I'm about 5 pounds or a great corset away from fitting back into my dress.  If that's not the best Valentine's gift anyone could have, then this is:

She LOVED being in my dress and wearing my veil.  She's sending a kiss to daddy in this picture.  I have a feeling a sentimental "Butterfly Kisses" will be the next moment we have when N gets home this weekend.
