[My Own Stuff] Less than 5 hours now

Rehearsals done at the hotel, all stuff bought. Things are as ready as they should be.

Last night before midnight, my aunts and my mom brushed my hair while saying auspicious things. Mostly symbolising that the marriage will last long, me having lots of kids etc etc. Wierd thing is, I hear this from Chinese dramas alot. But it's pretty informal last night though, which is good. Then my whole family had some rice balls to show their support on me leaving the family. For the groom, I heard, in the country (back then), the groom will slaughter a pig and that night eats rice balls as well.

Anyhoo, just typing as the last few hours tick away as a single person.

Am I scared, not really. Just so wierd that everyone I know will be in Limerick, in one place today!
