I just got married yesterday and I thought I was going to be alone upstairs with a computer watching Benny & Joon and listening to music while everyone else is chatting and visiting. But no I stayed downstairs and enjoyed seeing who was there and I enjoyed seeing my old friend from elementary school. People kept taking lots of pictures and I was like a model there and everyone kept taking pictures of me and my new husband with our family members and relatives and my old friend. I was surprised I handled all this but then after the wedding, my eyes were killing me because I was tired. I don't know if it was from all the people or not sleeping very good at night but I rested at the house my parents and my relatives are staying at my mom and dad rented for a few days. My husband was surprised too I went through all that.

Boy four hours seemed like it was all day than four hours.

Congratulations :D!
Well, today I went to a friend's house and had terrible apprehensions(I didn't really want to go but tbh, I didn't want to offend her) but I actually managed to keep a conversation going, etc.
Obviously not very much, but I was still surprised it went as well as I thought.

Writing from The Davenport in Spokane with their wi-fi I am staying at. Thank god it's free.


My bf was my fiance but I never called him it, only a few times. We never proposed or anything, we just decided to start planning our wedding last fall and I have mentioned about it here a few times. I had to do most of the planning because my bf didn't know how and my mother helped by finding a caterer for me and a minister and she ordered the flowers, and my aunt found a place to fix the wedding dress. I did the inventions on my own and the wedding cake by finding a place near us that does them and my bf and I picked them out together. But he did find the tuxedo place on his own and rented four suits, one for my dad which he will pay back for and my brother in law and my dad in law and one for himself. My dad will be dropping them back off tomorrow.


Anyways I don't tell everything about myself online, not even all my problems because then I feel like an attention whore and a whiner. I have seen people who do those things by complaining about every single problem they have or they do it all the time, and they get treated badly for it and get called names like whiners or being told all they do is complain or moan, etc. and I don't want to be that kind of person.

Congratulations!!

Weddings (when they are yours) are just simply surreal. Everything is going by so fast, and it's so incredibly exhausting. It's a whirlwind of people and experiences. In short, there is nothing routine about it. Still, it was an absolutely awesome experience! Certainly it was one of the best days of my life.

You're lucky if you don't both end up sick by the end of it (literally). I was hoarse on my wedding day, and my wife got stricken with the cold several days later while we were in Portland.

yes i know what u mean, what happens and the stuff that i say online is only like a slice of my life, like that one day that person argued with me saying by how i type and what i say means im not autistic, i was like r u serious, online is nothing like i am in real life, i think that goes for a lot of ppl though, but for me its weird, u talk to via online and meet me via life, its a whole different side, one lady whom met me was amazed how low functioning i seemed, and amazed i could even have a bf after we emailed each other she spurted it out that she thought i was more high functionin due to how articulate my posts seemed, but def wasnt the case when she met me. Anyways congrats again, think its still amazing either way you had to do most of the pllanning to even get married its such a great achievement hehe!

We were married here in Portland. I wanted the wedding in Spokane in Riverfront Park on the floating stage and use Ferguson's Cafe as our caterers and my family and I all hang out in one of the picnic area covers and then mt bf and I spend the night in The Davenport. But the problem was, my bf's family is poor and he wanted them there at the wedding. We didn't want to pay for their train tickets and for their hotel stays because it would have cost a lot of money and I sure didn't want my parents pay that much, maybe several thousand dollars so we decided to have it in our hometown for the convenience. Then I decided lets have a honeymoon in Spokane since we couldn't do it there. We will stay at The Davenport. But the honeymoon suite was $649 night and I thought forget it and did a regular king room for $189 a night. I wanted to do five days but didn't want to spend more money so I did four days instead. Had a minor problem checking in but luckily I had a credit card (I just got one to make my life easier so I build up my credit score) because they have a 50 dollar deposit per person per day so it was 400 more dollars. Plus my debit card wouldn't go through because of a 1,000 dollar limit so I used my other card. They don't have their guests pay for their stay until they check out and my credit card won't get charged if we leave the room in good shape.

Mazel Tov, Spokane_Girl ! !! !

:D :cheers: :bounce: :sunny: :flower:

I missed this thread, it was almost 4 months ago, omg!

Members should title their important news "Extra! Extra!" as I do, so others can have the opportunity to congratulate them, because I felt that I hadn't been invited to the wedding party thread. :( :shrug:

What I liked the most about my wedding was feeling like a model, with the photographer going after me all the time. And the 5 hours passed like 5 minutes for me, that was amazing.
