Impatient Bride!!

I'm beginning to think I'm probably the most impatient bride ever. I think about our wedding every single day. What do I think about you ask? I think about my Maid of Honor & my dad calming me down right before I walk down the isle. I know I will be a bundle of emotions that day! I think about the expenses of course. Let me tell ya, its not like a fairy tale when you have the expenses left in your own hands. That being said, I think Brian & I will feel very accomplished after the wedding is all over. We actually discussed the idea of eloping! I honestly thought about it for a while and then realized I couldnt go get married without my friends & family there. After talking to our recently married friends we realized that the idea of eloping to save money is a natural thought!! I told Brian I couldnt elope and he said "Whatever you want, babe!" I'm hoping he has this attitude when the heavy planning has begun! Haha! I have picked out a beautiful gown. However, I only picked it out in a magazine. Many people have said I will end up in something completely different. I definately think about the reaction people will have when I'm all done up. I often get the chills when I see the bride walk down the isle. I can only hope to have the same impression on those who mean most to us! In September our friend Liz got married. Right when we were waiting for her to come down the isle Brian & I both teared up. If he has that reaction with a friend, I just cant wait to see his reactions during our ceremony. The vows? Be prepared to see some tears from me! Tears of happiness of course!!

We are going to start making some wedding purchases in the summer. I'm thinking... what are the small things that you forget to get until close to the wedding? Any ideas? Let me know! I believe we are going to get our wedding bands soon. I'm so excited. When we picked them out I "jokingly" told Brian I was going to wear it around the house & pretend. Ha ha! I suppose that is why he'd rathar wait till closer to the wedding to get them. Little did he know, I was serious. Ha! It was so weird picking out our wedding bands. I'm thinking he wants to wear his every day since he asked the guy what the strongest one would be. It was different to see him with a ring on. Especially on his left hand! I remember being there & looking at his hand & smiling. We have to get back there soon to get my engagement ring cleaned... And so I can see that again!!

There is not much else to say as we are still pretty far away from the date. I just wanted to write & tell everyone that Brian & I are great. The plans, as minimal as they are, are coming along nicely. I'm just trying hard to be the patient bride & keep my excitement to a minimum. Ha! Good luck with that!!
