The Final Countdown to the Beginning of the Rest of my Life that is....my wedding Day!!! I got engaged last March (2008) in Mammoth on our annual Winter "Hilzek" Family Vacation. Despite the fact that we had been together 7 1/2 years at that point and we had looked at rings and talked about getting engaged I was completely shocked!!! I TOTALLY did not expect it to happen at all at that point which made it perfect! I am a self proclaimed 'hater' of surprises but I LOVED that one and was so glad that I was surprised (it actually gave me a little change of heart about surprises, but shhh...don't tell anyone). So surprised and shocked, in fact, that the 1st thing out of my mouth...technically the 1st several things out of my mouth...were the words "shut up" and "I can't believe you are doing this...RIGHT NOW!!!" Both of which I repeated several times before I said 'Yes'....or 'let me see the ring'...or 'put it on my finger already'...we aren't really sure which...it was kind of a blur after the million shut ups I uttered. Just to be sure, though, my Fiance has asked me several hundreds times..."Will You Marry" and I have Replied Every Time..."Yes"!
Anyway....I cannot believe how fast the last year has gone by or how truly time consuming planning a wedding really is, especially when you are working full-time and have a fairly active social life. I have done all of the planning myself with the help of my wonderful and most amazing mom, fiance, and close friends. The planning process has been so much fun though! In the beginning, I wasn't exactly sure how I envisioned my wedding but as I started planning, chose the venue, chose vendors, found the bridesmaids dresses, etc it all just sort of came together and it is Perfect...or it will be Perfect...I hope :)
The one thing I have heard from numerous people is "Your wedding night is going to fly by" which is the one thing I am NOT looking forward to!! And, I am not doubting any of them....I had my Coed Shower...it flew by, Bridal Shower...it flew by, and Bachelorette Weekend...it flew by. After each event I have been left saying...."It went by so fast" and "Can we do it again?" Which I am sure I will be proclaiming as soon as my new husband and I leave the reception and head to our hotel room. He has already been warned by both me and my mom to expect some water works that night and on our honeymoon...what can I say, I tend to be slightly emotional sometimes and once I start crying it is really hard to get me to stop.
12 Days and Counting till the the Happiest Day of My Life! I still have quite a bit to finish up and get organized but I am staying on track...for the most part anyway. I am just sooooo looking forward to becoming a Mrs!
ps. I am hoping to start blogging more regularly
