Girard and I got engaged on July 22nd of this year after dating for about four months! ...Now before anyone gets their panties in a wad... NO, we aren't rushing into things. YES, we know what we're doing! YES, we are happy and we love each other! Oh...and NO, I'm not pregnant! Gosh....some people.... *rolls eyes*!!! How rude! Seriously...some people should guzzle down a happy pill every morning! Perhaps then, their entire existence wouldn't be about bringing other people down or trying to "rain on someone else's parade".... With that said....if you don't have anything nice to say, please just do me (and everyone else for that matter) a favor and 'save it for the birds'!!! :)
For as long as I can remember...I have wanted a December wedding! Christmas time is my absolute FAVORITE time of year! Everyone is happy and cheerful! The lights, the music, the shopping spirit, the decorations.....how could anyone not LOVE it?! Of course, I love it from the religious aspect too! So, it only made sense that I get on the ball and start planning!
I am beyond siked to be marrying my best friend! I will be forever in debt to Girard...(and not in a money kind of way!) Anyone who remotely knows me....knows that in 2009 my life was turned upside down, changing me forever... Then in 2010, I was told that I had "cheated death twice"...surviving two blood clots. I was on a phyical and emotional rollercoaster from hell. I was -in and out- of therapy and taking six pills a day to try and make me...ME again. Turns out...the medicine I needed doesn't come in pill form! Falling in love with Girard was like breathing air back into my soul. He ....saved me. So, for that reason alone...I owe him everything! He "gets" me, he accepts me, he loves me (even on my moody days!), and if I wanted the moon...I think he would do everything in his power to try and give it to me! To be his wife is an honor...and I never want to lose site of that fact....afterall, that is the only thing that matters in the end!
We have 108 days to go!! December 3rd is the special day! For the most part, I have stayed calm, cool, and collected! :) I am bound and determined not to earn the dreadful "Bridezilla" title! I want to focus on enjoying this time and trying to have fun with the planning! My creative side is working overtime!!! I have a notebook that literally travels with me everywhere I go now! Any thought, idea, or note that enters my brain is then inked on paper within minutes! It has been my lifesaver because I have hit information overload a time or two already! As of today...obviously we have set the date...decided on the venue (caterer included), booked the cake baker (Kitti's Kakes) and photographer (Windy Peak Photography), and hired a wedding planner...my friend, Miss Jennifer Walker! One by one, we are knocking things off the to-do list....but we still have a ways to go! No stress, Judith...NO STRESS!!!!!!!!!
