It's official. We are getting married on June 6, 2009! My bridesmaids and I went to the ceremony/reception site to check it out yesterday and it is just like the pictures showed - beautiful! I am so excited I can hardly wait until June!
About that wedding planner... Well, ever since I bought my dress and have moved forward with the planning, it seems to be getting easier. I really think I can pull it off now. I just have to remember to prioritize and not worry about the little details.
I am so excited!! I am getting married! Yay!!! :)

Wedding planning .... Woohoo!!!!
Well, not exactly. While I am excited about getting married, planning the wedding has got me really stressing out. Every time I try to plan something, I think of something else that we're gonna have to do. You know, I'm pretty good at details, but when I think about having to plan to rent chairs and decorate reception tables it makes me crazy! It's amazing what all goes into planning a wedding - and I want ours to be simple! It's amazing how much money one can spend when planning this sort of thing, too!
Which is why I've decided to check into hiring a wedding planner. When I think of my wedding day, I view it as calm, serene, and solid - not stressed out, worried about caterers and flowers and photographers and musicians, not to mention getting myself ready. I'm hoping that a planner will be within the price range that I want to spend, because having one would really ease my stress level for the next 6 months. I know I have friends who are willing to help me - and have already helped so much - but there are still things that only I am going to be able to do. I just don't feel like I should be stressed out with my own wedding. I want to look forward to that day, not dread it because there are so many things that have to be done.

And then... it just happened (Pt 2)
After settling into the idea that I -no, we - will be living in a brand new house where we can very soon begin digging in our heels, we decided to go over there last night and take some measurements. Well, actually, Mike wanted to go over there and take some measurements of where the fridge will go, so we will know not to get one that's too big or too small. And I wanted to show the house to one of my close friends who hadn't seen it yet.
After pulling into the driveway (and trying futilly to take pictures in the dark of us by the "SOLD" sign), we went to go inside. Since all the doors were locked, we had to break in a window. (I mean, we're buying it, I guess we can break in...) So as Mike got the tape measure going, I called my friend, who told me she didn't want to come look at the house yet because it was already dark outside and she wanted to see it in the daytime. I thought that was a little odd of her, since the lights are turned on in the house, but I just shrugged it off and recommenced babbling to Mike about how excited I was about the house. And then I got a huge suprise.
Standing in the living room of our new house, Mike walks up to me and pulls this beautiful ring out and asks me: "Would you be the first and last woman that I ever love?" I couldn't believe it! After wiping away my tears as I continued to hug him, he asks, "So, will you?" I had been so excited that I hadn't said anything! So I said, "Uh hunh. Yes." And that's how it happened.
