My very first thought when I wake up this morning: there are 365 days to go until our wedding. "At this time, in one year from now, I will be waking up, getting ready to have my hair and makeup done so I can walk down the aisle to marry the love of my life." I am excited. I smile and sit up. Then I start to laugh, but quietly because Greg and Suzy are still asleep. We are on vacation with my family and the bed in our small room is positioned in front of a mirror. I can only see myself from the waist up but I am wearing white. I have fallen asleep in a white tank top with lace on it and I wonder if I did that subconsciously.
Greg and I have been engaged for almost 8 months and we are just now hitting the one year mark. 20 months is a very long time - much longer than I anticipated. We are the type of people who like to... obsess, for lack of a better word. Obsession has a negative connotation to it but, for us, it's more about excitement. For me, it is also about eliminating as much stress as possible given that I am prone to it. Within the first four months of being engaged we had booked our location, taken care of the food and cake (well, who was cooking and baking, we haven't done the tastings), and found our officiant, dj, and photographer. I have also purchased my wedding dress. Then, suddenly, there really wasn't anything else to do. The past few months have been boring and I have been anticipating this day because it now becomes acceptable again to obsess over what will be one of the happiest days of my life. I can go back to thinking about flowers, colors, tuxedos, and music. What better way to commemorate this than with a blog?
