In the Moment: Walking Out to a Standing Ovation

After we broke the glasses (and I stopped giggling) and we kissed,  it was time for our recessional. "I've Gotta a Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas was perfect. It summed up everything I was feeling at the moment we turned and looked out at all of our friends and family.

Next we'll share a toast with our wedding party. If you're just joining, here's our story so far:

• The girls came over to our place to get ready.
• I shared my dress with the girls for a real first look.
• We bungled our first look.
• Highlighted my dress and how it almost didn't happen.
• We enjoyed some down time.
• cubes and I took our turn in the spotlight for our portraits.
• The bridespeople get herded for photos.
• Socks captured!
• The groomspeople get herded for photos.
• The wedding party struck a pose.
• I get veiled.
• The best man and Diva of Honor signed our marriage license.
• In turn, our witnesses, cubes and I, and our rabbi signed our ketubah.
• Family congratulated us while we waited for ceremony time.
• Then the chuppah was readied.
• The Rabbi and the chuppah proceeded down the aisle.
• Our grandmothers, cubes' attendants, and cubes walked down the aisle.
• The girls went next, and then it was my turn and I walked down the aisle with my parents.
• Once we were both at the chuppah, it was time to get married!
• We each stepped on a glass.
• We kissed.
