Olivia's Mom had come early to our house while I was hemming the new pair of pants I bought for the ceremony. I thought I had done a good job. I was proud of the effort.
She offered to iron them. When she saw what i had done, it was horrible you could see the hem from a mile away. She said she would never forgive me. It was like instant lava in my chest. I had thoughts of every girlfriends mom eve. there was no escaping that misery ever but then Olivia told her mom to back off and even lectured her that I was amazing and that she wouldn't tolerate that attitude toward me.
She is my wife now!
It almost didn't happen though.
When me and Olivia filled out our marriage licence we neglected to read everything carefully and skipped a part that said we needed to pick up our licence 24 hours prior to the ceremony.
Today should have been hell, but it wasnt we waited in line and waiting rooms and messed things up and had hundreds of photos taken, all with me looking dumpy and wrinkly, and we laughed and had a great time.
I had a buddy from work standing in line for us and Olivia got stuck in traffic I got off the subway thinking the city hall stop on the R meant THE city hall but of course it wasnt.
Murphy and his god forsaken law were in attendance all day.
But again I wouldn't trade a moment of it.
I am married to a wonderful woman I love her so much and am so happy.
Been drinking most of the day so I am sure this makes no sense.
I needed to write and say how great I feel.
So in the imortal words of Tony the Tiger and 400 words later, "I feel great."
