DC Part IV: The Wedding

This is the final chapter in our DC trip. The wedding was for one of Johnny's friends from high school, and it was an all-day affair. Because of Sally, Johnny attended solo, and then I drove to the reception that night (in downtown DC traffic!). Johnny's aunt and uncle were so kind to offer to watch Sally for us. I had been planning to bring her along, but after getting to the formal dinner and reception, I realized it would have been a nightmare if she'd been there. So thank goodness for them!

It was kind of a romantic getaway for the two of us for a few hours, which was really fun. Johnny looked so very handsome in his tux, and just the simple act of dancing together was simply perfection. We also loved getting our specialty non-alcoholic drinks (ha!) from the bartender and then taking them outside on a balcony and enjoying some peace and quiet together. It was really the perfect night.

Until I ruined it. Of course. I started to get a headache at the beginning of the night, and as the night progressed, it turned into a constant throbbing, and the loud music wasn't making it much better. By the time we left, it was an all-out migraine. Johnny had to pull over, and I threw up in some bushes on the side of the road. How ironic that I was the one throwing up at the end of the night when I hadn't had even one sip of alcohol. Whatever. And then I threw up again in a Chick-fil-a cup in the car. TMI? Yes, sorry. When we got home to Mike and Jill (Johnny's aunt and uncle), I took a few Excedrin and put a rice sock on my head until it went away, which it did. I rarely get migraines, and I swear I only get them in humid weather. But of course I had to get one that night. Still, those few hours alone with Johnny before the throwing up fiasco were blissful. I love my guy so very, very much.
