Wedding Wednesday

The plans are chugging along, so there’s really not much for me to talk about there. The reception is booked, and the deposit has been paid. My dress has been ordered. I ordered these shoes yesterday. (I figure that gives me plenty of time to make sure they’re what I want…plus, I know that I love the shoes, so chances are I’ll wear them regardless.)

Things I haven’t really thought about yet…colors. We’re not doing the full-on “wedding party” thing, instead involving our friends and family in other ways. I love them dearly, but I really don’t see any need to ask them to buy matching dresses. We are going to involve my goddaughter and Rand’s nephews…so Brandy will need a dress, and I need a coordinating color anyway. I’ve considered going with red…or maybe a mauve-y or rose-y color. I dunno…I just want it to look good with the dress. And then there’s flowers. Lots to think about, of course, but I’m not really freaking out. I’m just kind of taking it as it comes.

I got to thinking about this post, written way back in February 2006, prompting many people to ask if there was news they didn’t know about. No, no news. Just the random meanderings of my brain…recalling the past and musing about the future. I ended that post with this:

I couldn’t care less about being a princess for a day. What I do care about is being his wife…his love…his partner…for a lifetime.

I’m glad to know that now, with the ring on my finger and the plans steadily moving forward, that this hasn’t changed. There was a small amount of freaking out while we were trying to find a place and set a date…but once that was done, I calmed down considerably. And now, every now and then, I look at Rand and think to myself, “We’re getting married.” (Sometimes I even say it out loud…I’m such a dork.)

And I smile.

Well said, milady. And you both are very fortunate...so you are abso-fraggin-lutely NOT a "dork" to say out loud what gives you such joy. When *is* the wedding again, BTW?

I fully embrace my dorkiness. ;) The wedding is next July.

My best friend said to me, just before we began the walk down the aisle:

"Remember, whatever happens, at the end of it, you'll still be married. I could fall down, and you'll still be married. *You* could fall down, and you'll still be married!"

And you're not a dork! Or only in the good way. We got a huge kick out of calling each other "bride" and "groom" and giggled every time we said it-- until afterward, when we spent over a year giggling every time we said "husband" and "wife". :)

By the way, that's an adorable icon, and that's a wonderful photo. That was actually the very one that stood out to me out of the set it was in, when I first saw it. It makes me think of everything I love about my own loves. It really captures something indescribable.

Kudos for both the icon and the photo go to Debbie! :)

And I smile with you, lots :)) I so understand that "dorky" sentiment ;-)
I hope it will continue for you guys long long years.
Every now and then, Steve and I look at each other and do the inner happydance and say "hee. we're really married" ... and we say it with the same bouncy happiness than before when we were at your stage.
You guys are great together.
