"stupid old lady"

So I thought I would share a few funny moments from the night before and day of the wedding...
Omar now calls me "stupid old lady" - it is a running joke in the Spilsbury household
"stupid" is sometimes understandable
"lady" of course
but "old" - i never considered myself THAT old...
"Stupid Old Lady" Incident #1
It began at the airport when I went Friday night before I was married at like 11:30 to pick up my good friend Sarah. Well a guy hits Omar's car while I was driving through the arrival part of the airport. It had been pouring down rain and I was just thinking "you have got to be kidding me - this is something I don't need to deal with hours away from getting married. The guy made no moves to show that he had recognized that he had hit me. I get out of the car...and walk to him. He rolls down his window and I tell him that he hits me. He proceeds to let out a loud, flavorful amount of bad language and calls me "stupid old lady" about 20 times. At the same time some other people drive by and ask if I need help. The guy cuts around and drives off - I was able to get his license number while the lovely airport attendant proceeds to do his job of moving me along with the whistle (ubelievable). Luckly there was no damage that I could tell.
"Stupid Old Lady" Incident #2
The following day on the way to the temple - we are starving and realize that most likely we would not be eating for the rest of the day. We stop at Burger King really quickly. Omar runs inside to get the food and I sit in the car. Some people come out to get in the car next to us. I notice that the car is parked extremely close to us. Note - that we are parked in the middle of our lines. The lady proceeds to open her door towards Omar's and hits it. I mouth through the window for her to be careful. She then starts cussing me out and calling me "stupid old lady" about 15 times and proceeds to slam the door hard against omar's. If I hadn't been on the way to get sealed in the temple and had my hair and make-up done, I would have gone out there (she could have taken me though). Interesting how Satan can work against you at the last moments. How these people all KNEW to call me "stupid old lady" I will be forever baffled.
The Ring Exchange
In the temple Omar and I exchanged rings. A few people may have noticed that I put his ring on the wrong finger. We died laughing and non-chalantly moved it to the correct hand. So hilarious since everytime he held my hand before that it would be the right hand and he would ask where my ring was - i had to constantly remind him it was on the other hand.
The Veil
So sad day! I bought this beautiful veil to go with my dress and I don't have one picture with it! I forgot to put it on with my bridal pictures and then with the excitement of the day I never put it on. I have never worn my veil and I can't even return that expensive sucker. A few people mentioned to me later that they wondered where it was (including Omar), but didn't want to say anything to me about it - I had it with me the whole time, just plum forgot.

Oh my gosh, you've become a blogging FIEND since you got married! You looked so absolutely stunning in your wedding pictures! I'm so happy for you Kate! Did you guys honeymoon anywhere? Waiting? Are you moving? Oh, and the deli slicer cracks me up. The look on Omar's face is one of extreme seriousness. Smooches!
