I know I haven’t really been blogging about it (so much to do, not much time to say), but I am happy to announce the wedding day is just one day away! I have now reached the point where two things have happened:
1) My brain is mush. I’m not stressed, but I cannot, for the life of me, remember anything. I put something next to my purse to take with me to my Sweetie. I forget it. I manage to actually LOAD something into my car to give to my Sweetie. I forget about it and drive back home with the same box. All I have to say is – it’s a good thing most of my lists are already written. Advice to brides: Write your lists well in advance. Or buy a good wedding planning book. Don’t rely on your own brain the week of your wedding. It mushifies. Really.
and
2) It doesn’t really matter. Not the things I forget. Not the nails I break. Not the rain that is currently falling. Most everything is taken care of. We have planned well. Things will happen. At the end of the day, we will be married. And in the end, that’s what really matters. I love him so much my heart may burst. He loves me and has put up with my wedding micro-managing for months. We are going to PARTY with our good friends and family from all over the world. Literally – people are coming in from England, from Switzerland, from Ohio and North Carolina, from Texas even. These people are happy to share our big day with us, and I wouldn’t spoil one minute of that by worrying too much about anything. Now…….if I can just stick to that through Saturday, I will be very happy. heh heh
We’ll be happy no matter. It took us both a long time to find the right person for a lasting marriage. We are proud to stand in front of our loved ones and say so. How much better can you get??
Wow, I didn’t know your wedding day was here already. Congratulation! And even if something goes wrong, it will make for great stories to remember in years to come. After the dust settles, you should post a pic for us all to enjoy. Congrats again!
I am so happy for you! Best wishes to both of you, on your happy day and for the rest of your lives together!
My motto is “this too shall pass” – and that applies to the angst associated with this wedding. Like many other difficult but worthwhile things in life – you will remember the day for how wonderful it was – not for any little nitpicky issues that might come up. (Though I have put in a special request that it be totally perfect for you).
There is just nothing quite like being a bride. There are so many days to be a wife, and only one to be bride–make the most of it!
Happy wedding day!!! Hope it is beautiful, peaceful, and full of love.
