Big news!

27 01 2008

I’m getting married.  It’s still not registering when I say it.  I just can’t believe that my life is working out like this.  What on earth did I do to deserve marrying the guy of my dreams?  Sure, there’s stress, and some things don’t work out the way I’d hoped, but nothing could have prepared me for this blessing. 

We’re getting married with views of the mountains in front of us and our families behind us.  We’re going to have a commitment ceremony later in front of our friends, because they matter too. 

 I’ve been a nervous wreck worrying about the dress (evidently most people have more than 5 months of wedding planning, and just ordering a dress takes 4 months!) and worrying about the logistics of it all.  Of course I want it to be perfect.  Of course I want to look beautiful in the perfect dress.  Things like that can make me crazy.  We decided yesterday, that it WON’T be perfect.  We’ll have Mother Nature to contend with, as well as one of the busiest places and months the Smokies have.  But you know what?  He is.  And we are.  And that is all that matters!

I’m really happy for you Carmelita!! Wheeeee!!! I’m sure it will be a wonderful wedding. Are you including your dog-kids in your ceremony? We thought about it at ours, but settled for putting pretty flower necklaces on them and leaving them in a small kennel behind the tent. They did go on the honeymoon with us however. Congratulations!!
