Jitters, excitement, melancholy, anxiety, anticipation. There are probably not enough adjectives to sum up the crazy bundle of emotions I felt during my five day long wedding week.
We flew from Toronto to Edmonton, as that’s where the wedding and all the various other events were taking place and I recall feeling a lump in my throat as the plane took off from the center of the universe. A few days before I was to leave, I remember looking around my bedroom and old photo albums full of childhood memories and tears just streamed down my face and I didn’t even realize until something cold struck my thumb. Super dramatic lol but everything around me seemed preciously sentimental and it’s so very difficult to put in to words how challenging it was to entertain the notion of celebrating one of my most special days away from a place I call home. Let’s not even go to the emotions I felt every time I thought about my parents and my small but amazing extended family; truckloads of tissues will be required.
The silver lining, though, was that all my friends and my family were coming together after a long time to be a part of this, putting their lives on hold and I eagerly looked forward to seeing them all again and celebrate the week long madness, AKA, my wedding!
