So I know we had planned on getting married on December 18th, but because of the justice of the peace registry schedule we ended up with a date for December 19th. My dad supposed to fly in on Dec. 17th, the day behind me but due to weather delays in Chicago he missed his connecting flight in London. He was put on a flight which was re-scheduled 2 days later to get into Freetown on the 19th at 7pm, 6 hours after we would have been married. So my dad called on the 18th at 8 or 9 at night and asked if there was any way we could reschedule the wedding. As it happens we were able to reschedule for the 23rd, praise God. So we did finally get married almost a week late, but it did happen and we have so many pictures to prove it. I will try and post some later this week or when I get home on Jan. 6th.
Finding time to post here with finishing wedding plans, arranging transport and paying for internet has limited what I had hoped to do on this blog, but fear not, I will make up for it eventually. For now it is enough that we survived the ceremony, reception and I am now Mrs. Gee Paytoe Gbayee...

When did December Happen?
Is it seriously December? I have this huge OMG feeling of excitement and a little stress and just general craziness.
There is so much to do and get done; I must admit my list looks very different from Gee's list. My list includes getting 7 days of sub plans written, finishing 4 commissions, cleaning my classroom for my bridal shower, packing, repacking, altering my dress, and a whole host of other little misc items that need to be figured out. Gee's list includes getting the suit jackets finished by the tailor, checking into our marriage license, planning our reception, graduating from college (he walks on the 6th), getting a bed (long story), painting, shopping and many other things I am sure I have left out. Who knew such a simple Justice of the Peace wedding needed so much planning. I am so glad we are doing it this way; as much as I would love to have all my friends and family there, I knew if we had a wedding in the US it would have been huge. I would much rather have a reception when we are both in the US when it is not all the pressure of getting married, but rather a big celebration.
The stress of finishing everything is growing, but I know it will all work out in the end. It always does. 13 more days until I leave, I guess I should get back to finishing some things on my list...
