February 9th 2013

On the morning of February 9th,2013 I woke up knowing that today really was the first day of the rest of my life. Today I would be marrying The love of my life,  The man of my dreams, My most greatest friend, and the greatest father I've ever known. My children's Daddy. The plan was to all meet at the church at 12:30 to begin setting everything up for our big  day. So that we could have everything done and ready to go so that we would be able to begin the rest of our life at 6:30 but as you would know in the life of Diana, and probably in the life of any bride beginning our wedding on time was definitely not in the cards.
We didn't have very long as far as preparation  was concerned.  Only a few short weeks before our beautiful  wedding day.  I spent the days taking care of sick little babies,
hospital visits and endless trips  to the pediatricians which began to take its tole on me both physically as well as emotionally and I landed myself in the hospital as well,   With a trip to the E.R. where they had to stop my heart I was told I had and episode of sinus Tachycardia and a panic attack and that I needed to keep myself stress free. So as many moments as possible were stolen  as I have loved  hanging out with my amazing friend Kelly George, She has been a long time friend of mine for several year's now. our friendship has blossomed throughout the years and she has grown to be one of my best friends. I am so grateful to Kelly!  For without her we truly could not have pulled off having such a beautiful wedding and I will forever be grateful to her for so many things 1 of which included standing right beside me, as my matron of honor my wedding.  It's funny because it feels as if only a few short months ago we were both expecting me with Izzabella and her with her sweet Twin Boys.
   So as I was saying I don't think there's any wedding that goes off without any glitches. Mine was a time issue (who me time an issue never) haha anyway we were in the bottom of our last 2 hours I was freaking out because I hadn't even begin to put my dress on do my hair or my makeup. We had been waiting on my mother and I was getting a little frustrated and starting to freak out a little bit that wouldn't be able to pull getting ready off in time my friends wisked me away. I'm literally telling you 1 was doing my hair and 1 was doing my makeup at the exact same time but somehow they manage to pull it off. I will never forget when I walked out of the nursery room, that is where we picked to get ready because we figured it would be a good place with my children. That way mommy could get ready and they could play. Anyway my heart was pounding as I stepped out of that room, and I was overcome and flooded with emotion I knew that at any moment my dad would take me by the arm, and lead me down the hall to where my amazing handsome soon to be husband was standing. It was hard to stop the tears that were swelling in my eyes. I'll never forget any of this moment I was so happy. I still am so happy. Today I married my best friend the love of my life and became Diana Duke.
