4 DAYS TO GO!

Wow. we are 4 days away from the biggest day of my life to date. I am surprisingly feeling kinda calm about everything.
 Lizz and Saryn arrived last night, which makes me feel like the wedding is really here! Although, I am feeling calm, I still haven't been sleeping too well which makes for long days....

I feel like I have planned this wedding inside and out and when it comes down to it, everything is going to happen the way its supposed to, and most of the time, you can't plan special moments like that.

At the end of the day, I hope it all comes together. I can't really visualize it yet, which is probably a good thing. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner are tonight and maybe I will feel a little more stressed after that, but right now I am ok.

I must say though, the institution of marriage is very intimidating. Everywhere I turn I see marriages falling apart. Its scary knowing that I am volunteering to jump into that. Derrick and I have beat the odds many times through out our relationship, so this will be another that we will beat. I love him so much and I truly cannot wait to spend my life with him.

Alrighty, off to go get pedicures, then go to the courthouse for the marriage license, the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner tonight!

3 1/2 weeks to go!

We are so close now. I can't even handle it! I have so many emotions going through my mind constantly: anxious, nervous, excited, stressed, overwhelmed, happiness. I can't wait for all this planning and preparation to come together to create the wedding that we have dreamt of. I am so ready to put on that dress and walk down the isle to Derrick, where we will start our lives as husband and wife. He is my everything and the perfect man for me.

I don't feel like there is to much left to do. A few decorations are waiting to be made, centerpieces need to be finished up and a few more items need to be bought. I am ready, let's do this!

Here is a sneak preview of some fun that is going to be happening at the wedding:
