As I sit here in our honeymoon hotel room for the last hour or so until we must head home, I’m planning. I always do this when I’ve been away for a few weeks because I have been unintentionally slacking off on my work and I’m always super excited to jump back in! On my list of things to do is promoting our fall tour, reminding people about the beautiful new music video I posted a week or two ago, making my personal Facebook profile personal again, making crafts to sell on tour, and getting a drastic, long time coming haircut. But here’s a blog about our wedding. It’s not the whole thing but I’ll vlog a bit post-haircut and again when I have the video from the day.

It was everything I knew it would end up being whenever I was upset about whatever family drama kept coming out of it. Seriously the best day of my life. I woke up dizzy and headachy but I didn’t care because I was so happy. Happy to marry the guy I love, happy to see all of our wonderful friends and family, happy to wear this kind of ridiculously perfect dress, and happy to dance my ass off after filling myself with insane amounts of delicious food. And it was perfect.

I worried a lot before the day actually came upon us. I worried that people would feel left out if I said anything about the wedding publicly. I worried that people would get annoyed if I posted too much. I worried that people who weren’t invited would ask to be invited anyway, and they did. I worried about our privacy and the feelings of those who weren’t included and so many other little things that come with having a group of wonderful people we don’t really know who support us and our music. I worried that certain choices we made wouldn’t go over with our more traditional family members and not all of them did. But I think I did okay and the night was the best and now I’m married to this amazing guy who I love so much.

I guess the moral of the story is to do what you want and be who you are, and that your wedding day is the best possible time to do both of those things. It’ll be worth all of the worrying about what people will think.
