About Mrs. D'orsay

Here We Go!

August 28th, 2009 @ 8:24 am by Mrs. D'orsay

It’s time. After 8 months of blogging with you, my day is here. People have been asking me all week if I’m nervous, and I can’t figure out what they mean. Nervous about my marriage? Nope. Nervous that the centerpieces won’t be just right? Yes.

Such is life, though. Friends and family keep saying what’s important will be done, and what isn’t—isn’t important. HELLOOOOO? Don’t they know it’s ALL important. ;) It’s been an interesting week of combining cultures, explaining customs, crafting, and hoping for the best. But you know what? The best is yet to come, because later today, Mr. D and I are getting married!

I keep waiting for the nerves to come and I wonder if I’ll get them right before I head down the aisle, like when I danced all the time and suddenly had to pee right before I went on stage. Let’s hope I’m not thinking about the restroom during the ceremony.

Thank you all so much for being such a source of inspiration. For having fun with me during BeeTVs, for fixing my problems when I came frantically asking for help, and for every comment you’ve ever made. It all means the world to me. I have tons of posts to share with you that I haven’t gotten around to finishing yet, so you’ll be getting a bunch of “time traveling” posts from me. Thanks again, my wedding (and let’s face it, life) wouldn’t be the same without all of you!

See you “on the other side”!

<3

Miss D’orsay

congrats! and I totally know about needing to pee before going on stage. I am a bellydancer and that always happens to me right before going on stage. I hope it doesn’t happen on the wedding day because I won’t have time to take off my dress and all those undergarments to go to the bathroom!
