I'm typing on my
iPad in my "Wedding Room" 4 1/2 hours before the big
moment. I figure I'll start this now even though it
won't be finished until tomorrow at the very least.
Gotta have the entry fall on the date. I just finished
my wedding vows a few minutes ago...
I. am so.
happy.
I am so
happy you came to that Starbucks.
I am so
happy you spilled your tea and I noticed
you.
I am so
happy we immediately said weren't ready to be in a
relationship and a year later we're standing
here.
I had
accepted that this type of happiness had passed me
by. In reality what passed by... created the most
appreciative man alive. No woman on this earth will
ever be more cherished or more loved than
you.
You are my
passion,
You are my
equal...
Let's. Make.
Babies.
I know it's a
little late to write your vows, but to me? That's the
whole point. Hell, I'd almost rather ad-lib them.
There's something about the moment that is so
precious. I cannot wait.
Alright, I'm
grabbing lunch and then the photographer will be here
at 2, so this may be all I write for now. I'm planning
on doing the wedding video as 3 seperate pieces. A
Before, During and After type deal. So I guess, here
is all the "Behind The
Wedding" scenes...
Oh my LORD. The
photographer? What? 2:00 - 4:45 was set aside for all
the formal pictures and pics of her dress, etc. How do
you... forget? Unreal. However... how AWESOME
was that phone call? Could you feel the 2x4 to his
stomach? Maybe it's my painful ability to empathize,
but I can't watch that without feeling bad for
him. And then what the woman who worked there said as
he walked in?!?!? HAAAAAAAA! That's the nightmare of
nightmares for a professional and he'll certainly
never forget that. He got there with seconds to spare
and the wedding started on time. Enjoy what has to be
the coolest/funniest/sweetest video I've ever
posted.
In tears, AGAIN.
Might be the hardest thing I've ever edited. More on
that in a second...
Starting this at
sunset was important to us because the view is just
gorgeous. If you have to do a wedding inside, a great
sunset view means everything. Hopefully it was
appreciated.
I like the Jewish
tradition of the father and the mother giving
away the daughter... however I hate the whole
idea of "giving away" anything. It's kinda crazy
how archaic some traditions are but I like the romance
of it all...
Now, I figured I'd
make Talya giggle with "Let's. Make. Babies.",
but I was generally embarrassed by the reaction
of everyone else. I mean, is it that strange to
say? Heh. The photographer got a great shot of
everyone laughing right as I said
it...
...and then this
stunner of Talya a few seconds later...
She is just
glowing. Look at her reading her vows...
I went to retouch
the photos... and there wasn't anything to retouch.
Whew. She even did her own makeup for the day... she's
just breathtaking. Wow. Of course it's very clear
where she gets it from...
Her mother is just
so beautiful, so loving, so happy for us... I am part
of an incredible loving support and that ceremony
showed it. Looking at these pictures, the love is
undeniable. I am so fortunate. And then suddenly, it
was done. We were married.
Mr. & Mrs.
Adam and Talya Kontras. What a shot.
I just
finished the final part of the wedding video and I
realize now that that is the video to end the
year on. I mean, my story with Talya IS 2011.
It blossomed and culminated in a wedding completely
within this calendar year and it's exactly how to end
the next entry. Join me, shall you?
