Serves Me Right & Other News

Ladies - Murphy's Law and fate have conspired against me!

Yesterday was my rehearsal and RD. All my worry over FH getting hurt playing softball on Tuesday came to naught, however, FH's comments about falling down stairs and getting hurt have come true. But he's not the one who got hurt!! I AM!!!

I was showing the photographer the lay of the land and was up on the third floor of the house where the ceremony is and I missed a step - while wearing 4 INCH heels!! So, my left ankle (which I have broken, torn ligaments and generally completely screwed up previously) is now causing me no end of pain, and causing me to limp miserably!!

In other news - the rehearsal eventually went smoothly - I don't know what I would have done without my DOC Francesca. Despite some irritations, she kept me from totally losing it and going off the deep end. SHE IS FABULOUS!!!!!

My OOT BP made it, and FH was missing one guy, who is completely MIA and I'm worried he won't make it for the wedding.

RD was fun and entertaining until it was time to surprise FH with the groom's cake. He had left the RD!!! My mother was at one end of the table talking about the cake that was supposed to be a surprise, I flipped out b/c I thought FH had gone to the men's room and would be right back, only to discover he had LEFT!! His sister took her kids home, so he didn't even get to say goodbye. I had to hand out his gifts, and he never bothered to write out a thank-you card for his guys!

He eventually returned, but then refused to sit for his surprise. I had to yell at him to plant his arse in a chair so they could bring out the cake, but I didn't get the opportunity to say anything nice or sweet etc. I don't have the pictures yet, but FH and I met playing pool, so I had a cake with a pool table on it made that said:
Darlene & Jay
Better than an Eight on the Break!

It made FH cry!!! And was very very yummy!!! As was the entire dinner. I'll add pics when I get them!

Dar, I am so sorry that you hurt yourself. On your wedding day you will be so full of adrenaline that I am sure that you won't even feel it, if it even still hurts by then. I cannot believe your day is almost here. I am so happy for you both Try to relax from this point on. This is the last few moments of being engaged. Enjoy every minute of it!!!

Oh Darlene!!!!!!!!! Stay off you foot for the next 2 days and I mean that missy!!!!! As Jaime wrote - you'll be so full of adrenaline on Sunday, you won't notice anything or feel anything - just enjoy your time in the spot light and have fun and relax over the next few days!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry you got hurt. I'm sure Jaime is right though. You won't even feel it on Sunday! Sounds like everything is really coming together. I am so happy for you and Jay and can't wait to see guys!

I hope you are feeling better Darlene!! Take some aleve!
I love your story about the Groom's cake, its classic! I know all these things seem awful now, but you are going to have so many great wedding stories to tell!!!
You will have a beautiful day on Sunday, I'll be thinking of you and Jay!!!

Oh no Darlene! I'm sorry about your foot. Please try to rest it as much as possible...although I'm sure that is easier said then done with less than two days to go!

Glad FH liked the groom's cake! Will be thinking of you on Sunday!

I'm so sorry Darlene. Go take a nap and rest that ankle.

Aww, Darlene, I'm so sorry you got hurt!! It seems like you've had so much aggravation planning this wedding (well, I guess we all did, right? LOL), but I can tell you that your day will be MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see how stunning you are going to look!!!!!

So sorry you got hurt.

Baby that ankle. It needs to be OK for your day.

i know you've had a lot of aggravation lately... but someday, you will look back and laugh at it all; you'll have some great stories to tell!!! baby that ankle as much as possible over the next day or so... and i'm sure the other girls are right, you won't even feel it on your wedding day!!
