and we're gunna have an amazingly spectacular wedding! The wedding was phenomenal and went very well. Very little went wrong. My brother and step-sister's (though from here on out I'll call her my sister) youngest fainted right after consecration, she's fine, I just think everything got to her and her body had to stop for a minute. The music was gorgeous... Mom and I sang the "Ave Maria" and supposedly it sounded fabulous. We even got a comment saying that, "If your singing didn't open up the gates of heaven, I don't know what would!" Yeah... My portion of it would not have happened if I didn't have my mom on my right and my vocal coach behind me singing along. I didn't even know that my vocal coach was going to be there at the ceremony. It was a complete but amazing surprise. I seriously felt like nothing was going to come out of my mouth when I opened it. I was soooooo nervous that I was trembling. I'm so glad I did it, and that my mom suggested that we do a duet (I know neither of us could have done the whole thing alone). It was so special for my brother and sister... it's my sister's favorite Church song. When I got up from my kneeler, my sister supposedly looked at me and watched me with a very puzzled look.. hehehe. When I got back and knelt down next to them they both had tears in their eyes. As my mom and I walked back to our spots, we got the biggest round of applause, omg, it was amazing.... but the thing that made it worth it were the tears in both my sister's eyes, and more so my brother's.

The reception was wonderful. The food, though I didn't eat much, was great... especially seeing as my brother made it all. Yes, he catered his own wedding. The music was great... the hall looked fabulous, especially when it was full of about 250 people. Yes, 250. lol... The best part of the night for me was the dance I had with my brother. We danced to a fantastically perfect song called "Brotherly Love". It's supposed to be about 2 brothers, but it is so perfect for our relationship. And what he told me towards the end of the dance broke me. Just saying that no matter what, even though he's gunna be 3 doors down instead of 3 feet...I can always come to talk to him with anything and that he loves me more than words can say... it was absolutely perfect.

It's gunna be soooo weird without my brother around the house now. But I'm sooooo happy for him and I'm so glad that he is finally happy and has a family of his own that he deserves so much. I am also glad that I now have the big sister I ALWAYS wanted. She truly is my big sister, and not just because she married my brother, but because we get along so well and know that should we ever need to talk about ANYTHING, the other is there with a listening ear and a warm hug.

So... enough of that. I'll put up some pics either right on here or link you to someplace else where they are.

As for the shows today (Sunday), they both went well. The Jrs. were great! Some of them truly surprised me with the talent they have. The Studio/Company show went very well and was awesome. All of the people who performed have such phenomenal talent, it truly is a pleasure to hear them sing. As for my song, it was ok... Everyone said it sounded great, but I know better. Even my Coach is saying I did a great job and that she's proud of me, but I just can't believe that I did a great job. I'm glad she's proud of me, don't get me wrong... but it cannot be for the way I sang. I messed up some notes, and I know it's not a big deal, but for me it is. I just want stuff to be perfect, so messing up more than one note for me means it was a so-so performance. Honestly, I don't know why I agreed to sing. I don't think I deserve to be up there with 3/4 of those performers. My vocal talent is NOTHING compared to them. Why I think I can sing, and do, is beyond me. I mean, I know I have a fair voice, but why did I think that this is what I should do. I should just stick to acting... but then again, who knows if I have true talent there too... ugh. I'm just getting down on myself, and I'm sorry you sat here and read it. Sorry I wasted your time. I just needed to get it out.

Any questions or comments you know how to get a hold of me...
