So, in 2021, I got married. I honestly don't think my diabetes got in the way that much during the ceremony or reception except for one thing: my omnipod and phone (which had my CGM data on it).
My wedding dress had no pockets to put these things in. What did I do? My friend, and the altar server for the wedding, David, was made responsible for it! I remember, before the first dance, I handed my phone and Omnipod to him and said "Could you put these on the head table for me?" as I was whisked away to the dancefloor.
If my first child had been a boy, I was planning on naming him David! (I ended up having a girl, but she and David adore each other as if she knows who she would have been otherwise.)
The wedding was perfect and the day was perfect, even when imperfections happened. It was more perfect because of the imperfections! So this is to any T1D who is worried that diabetes will ruin your big day, that on that particular day, I didn't even remember that I had it.
