Today marks the first official day of our wedding planning adventure. It is all finally becoming surreal and the excitement is starting to build a great deal; in eleven months, I will be married! As a little girl, I envisioned how my life would unfold and turn out, but little did I know, none of what I had envisioned would reflect my life today. With a beautiful, intelligent daughter on one side, and my best friend and companion on the other, I must say, life has turned out much better than I could have ever thought possible.
As our wedding day plans wait to be laid out on the table tonight with each family by our side, I cannot help but imagine how each and every detail will unravel itself. As far as I'm concerned, I believe I will be a breeze to work with and extremely easy to please. I know what I want and know that I am no a coordinator, ha-ha! The only wish I have is to feel like royalty as I walk down the aisle. And, truthfully, isn't that every woman's dream? When you have children, your life from there on out becomes devoted to them. Their every want, need, and desire fall on your shoulders as a parent. Feeling as though I did things backwards by having a child before I was wed, it is my goal to make this day as special as possible. To walk down the aisle in a ivory dress; elegant and stylish, with my daughter by my side for the ceremony, looking into the eyes of my soon-to-be husband...that is my perfect fairytale wedding.
As I picture how our memorable wedding day will unveil itself, I am filled with an abundance of happiness and joy. I feel so fortunate to have come to know the man I am about to marry for his honest demeanor and kind soul. Through each smile and struggle each has endured, we have both grown closer with each day that passes. We are learning that each is entitled to ones opinion, and that agreeing on everything is not normal; you must give and take. While maintaining our own individual personalities and free spirited ways, I love how we have joined forces and have come together as one unit, without having to sacrifice. Joining each idea and teaching each other along the way, this man is someone who I cannot imagine my life without.
I am SO happy for you, Heather! You deserve everything good in this world and I'm glad you have so much happiness in your life. I was just telling Mitchell today how happy I was for you that everything is just falling into place for you. SO EXCITING! You deserve a good man who will provide for you in every way you deserve. I'm not sure who the lucky fella is, but I'm sure glad you found him!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get back to GC, we totally need to hang out. :) I haven't seen you since Buff Project in HS!
Oh, Danielle! I am in much need of a true friend right now, and you're definitely it dear! You are such a strong, incredible person for going through everything you all are right now, and I admire you a great deal! I can't imagine how stressed things can get. But, with faith in the Lord and a positive attitude (which you have always had), I know you can get through anything!
ReplyDeleteLet's get together and hang out when you get back to town! I am serious, missy, we need to get together! : )
