After ten years of togetherness, the big day finally arrived. Rodney and I were finally getting married. We invited our closest friends and family for an intimate affair. By my side were my closest friends, some life long and some newly acquired: Sarah, Sara, Amanda, Britton, and Lauree. Rodney too had old and new friends stand up for him: Mike, Daniel, Adam, Sergio, and Buddy. We were so grateful to be surrounded by everyone who loved us.
The night before the wedding, my bridesmaids and I stayed at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center. It was nice to have one last slumber party just like we did in the fourth grade. We woke up bright and early that Sunday morning. With lots of hot coffee and mimosas (unfortunately mine were virgin) we started the beautification process. Sara and Lauree, however, enjoy several bottles of champagne- I'm not even sure there was orange juice in those mimosas.
It had been nearly 24 hours since Rodney and I had seen each other. Prior to the ceremony we were with our bridesmaids and groomsmen preparing for the big event.
The first time we saw each other that day was before signing the ketubah (Jewish marriage license). It was a good thing for me because I got the tears out before the ceremony.
Zachary was so excited to be a part of our wedding that he split is tuxedo getting out his energy. It so nice to know he will be able to carry the memory of our wedding with him throughout his life.
As I walked down the aisle with both of my parents by my side, I realized how many people have touched our lives. I was so grateful to share this milestone with each of them.
Our reception was fabulous. It would not have been a proper Coty-Morrow party without lots of dancing, lots of alcohol (although my drinks were virgin), lots of good food, and most definitely good friends.
So, that's it....our wedding. That was the day Rodney, Zachary, and I officially became the Cotys. We just couldn't wait to add to it!!
