After a moment of peace with my beloved one’s final words to me, I was quickly interrupted by Mama Hot Wings. She came flying into the room carrying madness with her. I mentioned this incident once before as my wedding day low.

Let me set the stage for you.

Everyone’s calm and collected. I’m in my robe finishing up final hair and makwup. Mama Hot Wing flies in frantic that the tea ceremony had already begun. “Get dressed, NOW. Why aren’t you dressed yet?” she yells. I look at the clock. Uh, because we’re still a half an hour from our official start time. Apparently, Mama Hot Wings wasn’t convinced by my logic. So I told her to calm the F down and take a deep breath. I’m the bride, and nothing could happen if I wasn’t ready.

Then, I scurried. “L, get my ao dai. A, get my bra. R, grab my silk pants. S, grab my gold shoes. T, go check where the groom’s family actually is. Everyone, we’re getting married. Let’s get me dressed!”

Can you believe that this dress took all those hands to get me in and buttoned up? It sounds so silly, but of course it’s true.

I couldn’t help but keep thinking how crazy funny it all seemed. We had been so calm all morning. Then all of a sudden it was crazy madness in the house. The mere thought of it kept making me laugh. With each laugh, the buttons on my collar would pop undone. BM N buttons it. I laugh. Another BM buttons it. I laugh. It seriously went on for a little too long until I said, “screw it.” It was just going to be undone. And then the best part of the whole getting ready process: hugs and kisses all around. We’re getting married, folks!

And Hotties are lined up at the top of the stairs waiting for their first big entrance of the day.

This recap post really brings me back to that morning. It gets my heart racing again and I can feel the excitement of officially starting our wedding day with our tea ceremony. It’s about to begin. Can you feel the excitement?
