I’m looking forward to the wedding—it better turn out good! I have such high hopes for it. A part of me wants the excitement to go on and on, the other part wants it to be allover. That’s just a small part though. This wedding is all I can think of and talk about. It’s getting to my head!

Dear Janice
,
I t’s Courtney’s wedding day eve. I think I’m as nervous as he is. I take that back. He’s a wreck! I’m quarter way to a wreck.
The rehearsal went well. I hope tomorrow will go on the same pace. I’m at Michelle’s house right now as are all the other bridesmaids. Michelle is sleeping and the rest of us are watching t.v. It’s 12:30 in the morning!
I don’t think Michelle is really sleeping. She’s probably just lying and thinking.

Dear Janice

I n only a few hours my brother will say his I dos. I can’t help but be nervous. I’m in Brooklyn at the moment. The rehearsals went on really well. I’m walking with Michelle’s cousin Chris. He’s 23 but he’s my height. The way we walk is he puts his hand over mine and we go down the aisle. When we reach the end we turn to each other. He bows and I curtsy. It’s really cute.
Well, it’s like 12:30 a.m. and this house is packed! Michelle’s relatives from all over the place are here. I don’t know where I’ll sleep. I guess right here on the couch. All the bridesmaids are here except one who lives close by. The plan for tomorrow is at 5:00 a.m. we will get up and go get our hair fixed at the hairdresser, after that we’ll go fix things up at the reception hall. After that we’ll come back to the house and get dressed. The limos will come pick us up and we’ll be off to the church. I wonder what Courtney is feeling right now. He must be so nervous! He’s that type that gets really jumpy. Michelle is calm now but I guarantee she’ll be a mess of nerves tomorrow.
My cousins, aunt, and grandparents came in from Canada earlier today. I wish I was up in the Bronx with Ann. I want to spend as much time as I can with her. She was at the rehearsals watching and giving me tips. I think I’ll make her my maid of honor at my wedding which I calculate will be8 years from now. I want to get married at 20 or even 21. I want to have a huge wedding with 500 guests. So I suppose I would have to become a millionaire between now and age 20. It’s not impossible, if everything fails there’s always the good old lottery. Well, I’ll write to you tomorrow after the big event. Tonight I’m going to pray it’ll turn out good. I’m so nervous.

I t’s all over. The wedding bells have rung. The service was a lot of things but most of all, long! So many things seemed to come before the minister said “I now pronounce you man and wife.” My feet were killing me, I felt like going out and sitting in the audience. Being a bridesmaid isn’t all the glamour it seems to be. I gave out so many fake smiles to so many cameras today, I think I’ll never smile again. Those were the not so good parts but everything else was just great. Michelle looked gorgeous. Courtney looked handsome. They took their vows and now they are man and wife. Another Hunter is added to the family tree. I’m really happy for them.
I was so nervous at first walking down the aisle but about halfway down I heard my grandmother calling to me and cheering me on and I felt better. Everyone was there andthey all looked good. It’s so nice that they turned up. Some travelled from as far as Canada and England. (By the way, today was the first time I rode in a limo and hopefully not the last. It was really nice.) About the reception … it was fun. My mom made her toast and she did really well. Dave did too. I think what he said was, “I’d just like to say I’m really happy for my brother,” then finished with, “That’s it.” He was never a master when it came to words but, come on! However, I
