Til Death Do Us Part?

One of my best friends is getting married, so I can't help but think of weddings lately. I told her how excited I am to get married to Dan someday, and she responded with lots of excitement as well. I got to see her in her wedding dress a few days ago, and she looked beautiful. Trying on my bridesmaid dress, seeing her with her gown and vail on...I just couldn't be any happier for her.

Then last night approached and I ended up scrap-booking with another close friend. In my free time, I've been scrap-booking pictures of Dan and I for our house that we will have together someday. Then she and I got on the topic of weddings. Her and her boyfriend haven't been together nearly as long as Dan and I, but are very in love and are talking about engagement. Love is a crazy little thing isn't it? Anywho, she showed me some dresses that she liked and so on.

When I got home last night, weddings were all I could think about. Not necessarily hoping to get married asap, just excited for when the day does come. I decided to kill some time by looking at dresses online. Two words: Maggie Sottero. My goodness...walking down the aisle in any of her dresses would be a dream come true. They are so unbelievably perfect :)

As if wedding stuff wasn't on my mind enough as it is, I got a text from an old friend saying, "I just had a dream that I was at the cutest wedding ever, and it was yours and Dan's!"




As I was throwing the ball for the dogs this morning, I couldn't help but day dream about my wedding someday. Funny thing is...all I could think about was Dan. I wasn't picturing what my dress would look like, where it'd be, what colors I'd have....All I was picturing was the handsome face of the man that I love smiling back at me. Also, I couldn't help but visioning coming home to
our house, and knowing that I get to stay with him there for as long as I'd like. How exciting is that?! Knowing that someday we will devote our entire lives to each other is a feeling like no other. Probably sounds crazy for me to talk this openly about it, but I'm in love. I am so in love that I want the world to know. I'm not embarrassed by it, or anything of that such. I know millions of women would kill to have a guy like him. He's sweet, selfless, caring, sexy, athletic, determined, motivated, romantic, and driven to get what he wants out of life. He tells me every single day that he cannot wait to marry me. I truly am a lucky girl :)

So...wedding bells in the near future? Who knows. Maybe it's just a strange series of coincidences, or maybe it's a sign that our future together is just around the corner. Either way, I am in love. And I will settle with that :)

  2. WEll we all know I can't wait, but I know when the time is right, it will happen. I'm so thankful for a man like Dan and it sure makes all the difference in the world when I think about letting you go in that way. Besides, I know he'll share ;) He's sweet like that! I won't be losing a daughter, I'll be gaining a son. =)
