It’s been exactly a month and a day since I have been engaged and boy, has it been a whirl wind. I’d like to tell you all the great plans that are going on with the wedding, but to be honest, I don’t even want to think about it. I have always known that life happens a lot quicker when you are not planning it, but things just seem to be on energizer juice lately. The rundown goes like this:
The sixth, we got engaged. The seventh, we were talking bachelor and bachelorette parties. The eighth, my brother was discussing houses with us. The baby talk has always been ongoing, but now it’s just non-stop. Whenever the topic comes up, my fiancé puts his hands up like he is rooting for his favorite sports team. I am usually beside him rolling my eyes at his antics…and at the thought of having a baby right now.
Everyone assumes that I will just have everything figured out already, but the details couldn’t be the furthest thing from my mind right now. I am quickly learning that people will try to impose their ideas of what your wedding and marriage should be and I refuse to allow everyone’s expectations influence my decisions. It’s important to stay true to who we are as a couple and what makes sense to us overall. I just feel that what we decide for our wedding whether it’s a destination wedding or an intimate service at the Justice of the Peace should be our decision.
But aside from all of that, I am really enjoying being engaged. It’s nice and so special to think that someone loves me and thinks so highly of me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Not to gas it, but that is huuuuge. I can toot my own horn all day, but I have some issues. I can be a nag, I have a smart mouth, and I am selfish at times, but he is still willing to put up with me. I am smiling just writing this.
He told me now that he has proposed, our relationship feels new and I couldn’t agree more. I can’t wait to see what this journey has in store for us.
Happy Tuesday!
