Of course I will! So, it's true. It's really true. I'm getting married! I'm so excited I've even signed up for this stupid countdown thingy at the bottom there. I feel...excited, and nervous, and happy. He had been away in GP for a couple of nights and I'd picked him up from the airport. We had plans to go out immediately so we were going to go home to park the car, drop his stuff off and leave right away. I was standing in the kitchen checking messages, still in my coat and shoes. He disappeared for a minute and then came back out. He said "You know, the best part of going away is coming home to you. I want to do that for the rest of my life. In fact, will you marry me?" Then he tried to put this beautiful ring on my right hand so I directed him to the other one before saying "Yes, I will. Of course I will!". So, there's the mushy part. I was wonderful; it's still wonderful. Sadly the ring was too big so it had to be sent away to Vancouver to be sized. It's been a week and I'm so impatient to have it back. The first thing people say when you tell them you're engaged? Oh congratulations, let me see your ring! Yeah, I don't have it. Plus, it's my ring and I wants it; my precious! (did I really just write that?) At the moment the wedding is set for the 14th of October, 2006. It'll be here in Calgary and I should know the exact location in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to try my hardest to be relaxed and non-bridezilla-ish. Keep your eye on the prize, don't sweat the small stuff, etc. I can see how it'll be totally easy to get caught up in all the details and lose sight of the big picture. That's when tiny things seem to have a huge importance. I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. We shall see. Once I have my ring back then I'll start with the formal announcements to grandparents and such. I'm so excited! |
