It’s hard to believe that my bridal shower and bachelorette weekend have both come and gone. While at first the 14-month engagement seemed to slowly pass, things have certainly picked up momentum. The last month has gone by so quickly! We’re now into the final weeks before the big day and I can’t even begin to describe the amount of emotion I am feeling.
Of course, there’s incredible happiness and joy that is overwhelming beyond belief. But I’d be lying if I said it’s all been easy. The hardest part is keeping things in perspective, realizing that the day-to-day wedding emails, to-dos, questions and comments are just… details.
A couple weeks ago, a friend gave me the best wedding advice I’ve received to date. “If there’s one thing I can tell you, don’t leave each others’ side the entire evening.” While this seems like a short and quick piece of advice, it’s in fact the exact words I needed to hear.
There’s no doubt that I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating. I can’t wait to dance the night away, drink champagne, and laugh and love with all of our friends and family. But the one thing that I’m looking forward to the most is the very moment when the doors open and I see the man I will soon call my husband standing at the front of the aisle waiting for me. Being able to look into his eyes and know that he loves me to the moon and back, promising to cherish each other for the rest of ours lives… that’s what this is all about.
So with just 16 days to go, here’s to keeping things in perspective, embracing the remaining days until I am a married lady and appreciating every single moment of this incredible love.
