Getting Ready
Wedding Day - 26 September 2000 - Tuesday
Andy & I arose to the most glorious of days. The sun was
lapping the Alps, to cast a morning shadow on the peaks outside our
balcony. 
The air was as crisp as a sword.
Salzburg was seen this
clear morning off in the distance from the Gersberg Alm.
I opted to forego the breakfast with the families and tended to the
"beautification" of a bride the day of her wedding. Andy
joined everyone for breakfast. I only felt a "time"
crunch, but no signs of being nervous for my big day. 
While I
spent my time "preparing" my hair, face, body - Andy was busy
handling all of the details. Details that ranged from dealing with
the emotions of our parents to getting the bags of ice for our
champagne. Needless to say, that poor man should have dropped over
before the ceremony even began!
Well at this point, my dress was on, the hair was done and my
"face was complete". Andy entered our room in his
tuxedo, which was my first glimpse of my husband to be. This
vision was the inspiration that I would need, not just for today, but
for the rest of my life.
To see that tall, statuesque man all in black with his tuffs of gray
hair complimenting his soft brown eyes will be a vision that I will
correlate to gentleness, kindness, strength, love and adornment.
My eyes filled with tears as my I felt that I was the luckiest person
alive. We embraced each other as if we had not seen the other in
months. This was going to be the happiest day in my life.
Our door was open, and
my Dad knocked to come in and wish his
daughter good luck. I think he was somewhat dumbfounded as what to
say when he saw me. He told me that I looked beautiful and that he
loved me.
It looked like all was on schedule to leave the hotel at
9:30am. My future groom walked me down the stairs, arm and arm
where we were greeted by his mom, who was at the bottom of the stairs taking
pictures.
Everyone looked beautiful. We all met in the lobby and were on
our way to the Mirabell Palace.
