I have finally met the man of my dreams. Cliche, I know, but it's true. I was never actually sure that it would happen. I tried and tried to find him, but he didn't come along until I wasn't looking anymore. I had finally decided to be by myself for awhile, and live my own life, taking care of my boys and myself. Then he walked into my life. From then on, I've been 100% in love and happy. I've met the man that I've always wished I would find. I honestly can't imagine a life without him. So as relationships go, we dated and got engaged and now our wedding is in 10 days. Crazy. People keep asking us if we are nervous, and we continuosly tell them no. We always get the same response..."You will be." This is a statement that I just don't understand. I know we will both be nervous about the wedding itself, the amount of people, ect. Neither of us is nervous about the marriage. We know that we are meant for eachother and that we want nothing more than to spend our lives together, so why be nervous?
Although, I'm not nervous, I am exhausted. Wedding's are stressful. And I'm not one of those brides that thinks every aspect of my wedding has to go on without a hitch. I have kids...my life doesn't work like that! I expect there to be problems and welcome them with open arms. That's what makes a lot of weddings memorable, the unexpected. But all of the organizing and buying is what gets you so stressed out. And I don't regret for a second having an outdoor wedding, but my God it's a lot of work! Trying to remember everything you have to take with you, wondering if the food will stay cold, and if the weather will hold out at a bearable 90 degrees or if it will climb to 110 that day. So we have all of this wedding planning going on, and come to find out we arent sure if John's passport will get here in time. Which isn't such a big deal to get into Canada so we can get on our cruise, but once the cruise is over and we need to get back into the States, it causes a bit of a problem. Talk about adding some stress!
I apologize for this being a big rambling mess of words and thoughts, but this is the only way my brain seems to be working at the given time. It honestly gives me a headache to think...pathetic, I know. And Brandi, I already know that you think that this is a common accurance for me, and it is! But right now, I'm pretty sure, it's worse!
But all in all, when the day is done and all of the wedding planning is over, and our cruise has sailed with or without us, I will still be in the arms of the man of my dreams. Hopefully living happily ever after. Well mostly happy anyways! I hate to count on happily ever after, because there are days when I consider beating John!! But happy all of the time or not, we will stick together. And that's what makes a marriage work.
