19 days to go...
Last week I was exhilerated becuase it was wedding month and now I'm like oh my crap, it's wedding month and I've got less than three weeks left. I’m really trying to enjoy the million and three things that still need to get accomplished and not stress too much since I know I’ll miss this once the big day has come and gone. It's all about taking deep breaths. Hal’s just hoping I’ll stop watching bridal shows after the wedding. I'm not making any promises.
Friday we went for our marriage license. I must have looked like a kid on Christmas, I was just so excited. The woman at the town clerk's office was supremely nice, and when she turned to Hal and asked him, "Is this your first and last marriage?", he didn't even bat an eye as he confidently said, "yes". "Wow," she said as she looked at me, "He didn't even hesitate. He's a keeper!" Yes he is!!!
The process took less than fifteen minutes and we were handed a paper that would legally bind us as husband and wife, with the help of our officiant of course. I was so happy I could've skipped to the car when we were done but I was holding Hal's hand and he's not a skipper. Standing in the middle of the hallway, Hal and I looked at each other, smiled and realized this is real. We're going to be Mr. and Mrs. very soon.
As the big day gets closer, the wedding bells in my head get louder and louder. I just can't wait!
