25 years ago at 9:00 a.m. I stepped outside the door of my crummy little apartment in Paradise Bay in my wedding gown.
There was no one to gossip with as I got ready, no one to help me do my hair or makeup. My friends were 8 hours away at home and could not come to the wedding on such short notice nor did we have money to help them to come. We had nothing and we won our wedding as part of a radio station promotion where we got married with 25 other couples.
The internet was not yet accessible. I had just graduated college and lost the only computer access I had, not being able to afford a computer on my own. Although my sister would end up buying me one. My first one as a matter of fact.
Whatever music I listen to getting ready that day was listen to on a CD boombox. However if Lana Del Rey had been around back then her music would have scored that morning perfectly.
I'd had my hair done at a stylist the day before and willed myself to sleep in one position and not move all night so to not mess it up.
Out of everything that day I remember that morning the best. It was so quiet and still. Walking through it, I felt absolutely beautiful.
I kept hoping someone would stick their head out, see me pass, and maybe say good luck. There are a few times in my life that I have felt beautiful but that was definitely one of them and I really wanted to be seen. To be witnessed. But I walked through the apartment complex completely unnoticed by anyone except my husband to be.
My sisters and aunt had made the trip across the state to watch me get married, piled in a borrowed Corvette with FEAR THIS stenciled across the headlights.
At the ceremony I was singled out to speak to reporter, probably because I had my septum pierced. And to this day I kick myself for not taking that opportunity to ask any perspective employers to give me a job because I had just graduated and really needed one. I don't even know if it ever aired. But for years afterwards I kicked myself for not taking the opportunity like any good gen xer to beg for employment.
The night before I had stayed up listening to Cowgirl in the Sand by Neil Young over and over again, listening for the line "old enough now to change your name . . ."
Was I old enough? Was I ready?
I took that leap of faith regardless, and here we are.
25 years is simultaneously a lifetime in yesterday.
