The night before the wedding was absolutely delightful. In Vagu, it's tradition to spend the day before your wedding with friends and the night with your family. I was sad that most of my family couldn't come, they couldn't leave North Korea. I have a few family members from South Korea, so they were able to come. My mom's side of family don't talk to us, so only Annie was there.

I invited almost everyone I fought with in the war and a few of my new friends. We went to a bar first, and we're all allowed to drink. Carol got so shitfaced that he threw up all over the place. James was so embarrassed.

We went to a buffet after we picked up Marcel from the castle. Charles said in America, people stack up their plates and eat all that food without stopping! We wanted to try that, all forty-six of us. I couldn't eat all that much, so I only ate half my fruit before getting sick. I've never seen White eat so much. He told me back in Columbia, he won a pie eating contest in under twenty seconds. I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing that, yeah. He ate a whole steak in under a minute. Charles was American, so of course he won. It was kinda gross seeing everyone eat like that, but it was funny when Marcel ate ice cream in five seconds.

After that, they had a party for me. I was a little nervous, considering what happened the last time there was a party for me, but it was super fun. We drank, sang our heads off, dances, ate, just thinking about it makes me smile. I got to play the piano there. I want to say I got better, but I still missed a few keys.

I didn't get home until eight. All my siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and parents were there. A few of them I've seen maybe once before then, but the rest was the first time I met them. I couldn't eat anything after the buffet, but my aunties gave me a wedding dessert, forgot what's it called, though. I was happy to meet my cousins. Apparently, I'm the oldest out of all of them.  We watched The Little Princess, and dad started crying a lot. I didn't want to cry, but I'm a big baby and did. It was a sweet moment, though. We watched Mama Mia, and mom started crying, so we ended up watching Korean movies my preteen cousins wanted to watch. They were so bad it was funny. Why is it so dramatic?

After the movie, me and my siblings followed a tradition where we passed a dress around and sang an old timey song from the 30s. Whoever has the dress last will be the next to get married. It landed on Haruki. I could honestly see it! Him and his girlfriend, who I got to meet later on, would be soo cute married! We played a few more wedding games, one was with a shoe.

I laid with my parents like I did when I came back. I was like really tired, so I fell before they did. That was a good day.

[RESUME]

Lloyd gave this to me, so I get to gossip now. 

So before our wedding night, me and my family got last-minute things done and had so much fun. I couldn't stop looking at my suit. It made me look so cool. I also couldn't stop thinking of what my new husband would wear. I was so excited.

I had a lot of family come over. Many of them I haven't seen since my transition, but they all said I looked happier and very handsome. Some of them were in contact with my mother. I was surprised by how much I actually still cared about her. From what I was told, she's a drug addict now. They didn't tell me what, maybe crack because she's stupid.

Anyway, we went to a fancy restaurant that night. We spoke, we laughed, and we ate. I had a really good steak. Marcel couldn't eat, he said he ate a lot with Lloyd. I remember being the only one who ate rice. It's crazy how I didn't even know what rice was growing up. We don't care about that much in France. Since getting with Lloydie, though, I've been eating rice anytime he cooked. I really like his cooking, but I cook better. I'm a chief.

That's pretty much all from me. Here, Lloydie.

[BACKGROUND NOISE]

Thanks, baby. Alright, now, that's it.
