First day

Here are some photos from our wedding-wedding:





People keep asking what was my most favorite thing about the day. I keep avoiding answering the question because it is a difficult question to have to answer. But...if I have to...

Towards the very end of the evening, most guests had already left. Ina and Mike were still there and so were the parents. Several other people too...finishing up their last drink for the evening. The waiters were putting things away and what was left of all the decorations were some candles at the bar and most people seemed not to notice us anymore. Kyle and I danced to Bright Eyes' First Day of My Life.

Bright Eyes: First Day Of My Life

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

That dance is my favorite thing from that day.
The happiest I have been in my entire life.
