Another day in planning and I'm pleased. I am going to visit a couple of places this week, and hopefully they will be what i envisioned for my wedding day.
I know that this is going to be a magical event for me and my husband-to-be. We've been talking a lot about our marriage as opposed to the wedding day. I think we're both so siked to be entering a period in our lives where we'll finally be on our own. It'll be us against the world.
We've decided not to have children for a few years so that we could have fun, while we're young, instead of using our youthful years raising a family. Everyone around us seem to be so happy like it's their wedding day too. I'm glad that so many people are happy that we're together. I've heard from several of my friends and family that they think he's the best thing that's happened to me, as far as men in my life. His friends and family say the same about me. His mother is the most excited, I think.
I can't say it enough, but I love him so much, and I am so ready to be Mrs. HIM. LOL God is going to bless our union and we're going to live such a wonderful life together...I know older people who've been married for a while are probably thinking that I'm so naiive, but I'm not. I really believe that God brought us together, and with Him, we'll have a successful marriage. Besides, we've had rough times, but they've been fewer than the great times we've shared.
Ahhh, love!...........

Another Day of Planning
Last night, I couldn't sleep, because I was thinking about planning. Although I have a planner, I've been doing a lot of things on my own. It's always been hard for me to relinquish all control.
For the last two mornings, I've been hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock, thinking, in my sleep, that everytime I hit the button I was counting plates and deciding on menu items for my guests.
Anyhow, I was stressing, trying to find venues that I can afford. It was getting horrible. So I stopped and prayed. I figured God could do a much better job at this than I can. And He came through. I did a search for venues and sent several emails to the ones I liked the most. I went to bed, and the next day, my inbox was full of replies. I was relieved to finally see some really nice places with affordable menus and rental fees.
Everything is gonna be all right. (Exhale)

ENGAGED!!!!!!
It's been a while, because I've been extremely busy. A few days before New Year's Day, my boyfriend of two years proposed to me, while we were on stage singing a duet. The song was Til the End of Time sang by Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. It was so perfect. It just so happened to be at the place we met, doing what we love.
I am so excited about starting my new life with the man that I love so much.
Planning
The planning has already begun. People keep telling me that I don't have much time, and that's driving me crazy. I don't have much in my budget to plan with, but I am still hopeful of finding the perfect venues for my big day. I've been planning for about three weeks, and I wasted no time finding my dress. I've heard that it's never too early to do that.
It was the 4th dress I tried on, and it was perfect and beautiful. I looked in the mirror and smiled as my mother and wedding planner gasped. Then, the tears started rolling down my cheeks. I knew it was THE ONE! Women from all over the store came over to admire the dress. Their comments and smiles gave me the confirmation I needed.
One woman, looking on from a distance, made her way over to me, as I walked back into the dressing room, and said, "I like the one you tried on before that one...if you're taking suggestions." I smiled and kept walking, assuming she was jealous. Is that how we think around this time??? LOL Later, I thought, maybe she really did like the other one, but why would she even say anything after she saw me cry and all the other people adoring me in the dress?
I went back for another fitting, and THE dress was on a mannequin in the front of the store. The consultant told me that they put it there, after seeing me in it. I was flattered.
Right now, there is still a lot to take care of before I will feel a little relaxed.
