I DO!

Well, I'm a married woman now!

I really don't even know where to begin. I'm completely overwhelmed. I feel so incredibly blessed by all the beautiful, strong, kind, generous people in my life.

This glorious event, even with all the complications, was truly perfect. Many people have said to me throughout this process that the universe is clearly aligned in my favor right now, and I can't help but believe it. But I feel that there is another force at work as well. For the last two weeks, this project has filled me with passion, inspiration, dedication, and a whole lot of joy, and I've been doing my best to share these feelings with all of the amazing people around me; I think a lot of the success of this evening was simply a matter of reciprocation. Joy is clearly contagious. There are so many things that could have gone wrong today, and they didn't, simply because there was too much of a positive charge around the whole thing. Of course there are a million lessons to be learned from this process, but the one I'm most connected to at the moment is this:

Our lives are the lives we create for ourselves.

I promise to write more tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to meditating on the occassion and really savoring each memory in my mind... after the dust has settled and I can think straight again. But for now there are more important things to do. And when I say "more important things," I obviously mean "partying."
