And so, I married Mike Grean on July 8th in Stephen and Doreen Cole's yard in Verplanck. The moment I dreamed of most was just as I wanted it to be; walking arm in arm in arm with my father's nephews, VS and Stephen Cole. At that moment, I knew just who I was and where I was going. Moments later, under the grapvine, standing with Mike and the minister, Patrick Perkins, I did have a slight, surreal freak out. "Ok", I thought, looking out over the small group of close friends and family, "What the heck is this? I'm getting married? ME? Hmmmm....There's not that many people her. If I just call them all tomorrow and tell them it was all a joke, they'd forget all about it." Then, as I listened to the vows, I began to let myself feel how happy I was to be marrying this wonderful man, and I all but levitated with joy. Truth is, I don't remember much after that. Everyone raved about the food from Cole's Market, people stayed and laughed until well after dark. My face hurt from smiling...but I couldn't give you a clear account of the evening. I was just humming.
I know I ate a lot of cake. Loren at B& L Deli made it and I smashed it up a bit when I took the corner at Broadway and it slid across my hatchback, but it was still goooood! The rental place forgot to bring the plates so the neighbors ran into their homes and brought out theirs. They looked perfect in all their mismatchedness. The next day we watched the Yankees win at The Stadium. We screamed when we saw "Congratualtions Kacey and Mike Grean" appear on the scoreboard. And we cried when we heard John Sterling announce our wedding on the radio...ya think it wouldn't be such a big deal to hear my name on the radio - but it was.
The party continued a days weeks later at Bird and Bottle ....and those pictures are coming soon...
along with much more.....
