I cannot actually believe it is less than 4 months until I'll be Mrs. Tarcisius. For one, it's an awesome last name, secondly, I'll be a WIFE! After playing Barbies my whole childhood, including a wedding Midge with a replica of my aunt's wedding dress, it's hard to believe my turn is almost here. I mean, this is the day I've imagined from the time I've heard about weddings and understood what they are.
One question I get asked frequently is - how are wedding plans?? to which I respond - oh they're great! No idea if I'm telling the truth, but as far as I know, things seem to be coming together. Bridesmaid dress shopping is set for the weekend, we have a date to meet the caterer and florist, the registry is ALMOST done, and people have been extremely generous in their wanting to help out. So - I know it'll all come together. It's just all the little things to make the day what it is. I'm just thankful for friends who are good at decorating and willing to help me out!
I think what's the CRAZIEST is the fact that in the next 3.5 months we are going to find a place to call "home" together, I have to purchase a car, end my job well here, start a new one, and adjust to living life with another person (eventually). The wedding day seems rather tame! :)
Today I even got to try MY dress on - I can't believe how quick it came. Before they were samples, but this one's it! Hard to believe. Thankfully 2 of my best friends (who are also Bridesmaids) came along. I just couldn't believe it was actually me wearing the dress as I looked in the mirror.
Oh, and for the record, G is the best valentine who treats me just like a princess, and sacrifices for me, just the way Christ did for us. I'm a blessed girl.
I've got to say that I really enjoy reading these posts by my lovely fiancée. She means the world to me and I can't wait to be married to her, either! And the fact that the wedding's less than 4 months away is a pretty crazy thought, but a very cool one. Not that we're completely filled with idealistic, romantic notions of marital bliss (I'll admit there is some of that, for sure!). But that we get to start our lives together and embark on a journey that has God in the middle of it, and in which we'll both be daily sanctified as God works in us through each other.
