One more month

So here I stand approximately one month (ok, so it's more like 6 weeks) away from my wedding day. I can't believe it's almost here. When we got engaged a year ago it seemed like such a long time, but man, has the time flown by! I guess that happens when you're busy planning a wedding, working and keeping up with life.
I'm so excited that this long awaited day is about to be here. All the hard work and planning we've been doing for so long is about to pay off to a beautiful day of celebration with family and friends and then a wonderful, much needed and deserved honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean. I think that's what I'm most looking forward to. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the wedding and all that goes into getting ready for the big day - like having my hair and makeup done, getting my nails done, having my bridal brunch that morning, laughing and having fun with my bridesmaids, mom and other close family that will be part of that special time, putting on the beautiful dress I have always dreamed of and walking down the aisle to my future husband, becoming Mrs. Matthew Fisher, living it up at the reception and then being whisked away to our hotel for the night. Ok, I'm getting teary-eyed as I type all that - so yes, you can say I'm looking forward to all of that. At the same time, I'm so ready to be on that cruise - to be able to sit back and relax and not worry about one thing - not have to plan anything, prepare anything, think about anything!!! We can just relax and enjoy the scenery and enjoy being married, being husband and wife!! The time to enjoy the fruits of our labor!! I can just see it now - right there at our fingertips!!!
I have enjoyed planning my wedding. It has had it's ups and downs along the way, but that's normal. I have had moments where I have been stressed and even said something to the effect of "why didn't we just elope?", but at the same time, I have really enjoyed it. I've had fun looking at all the different options and picking the ones we like the best or mean the most to us and will make OUR day special and memorable for us. We are also thankful, that given the state of the economy, we have both remained employed and been able to take care of everything financially. That is one thing we said from day one is Lord, please let us remain employed and be able to pay for everything. And God has heard our prayers and is answering them and for that, we are truly thankful. We are also thankful for all the help from our parents, siblings, best friends and everyone else who has or is helping to make our special day come true. We couldn't have (and wouldn't have wanted) done it without all of you!!!
Wow, I'm getting married - in just over a month!!!!! :-)
