We will be engaged for 15 months tomorrow...and while there's not a SET date for an "end" of the engagement in sight, it's getting closer. We will begin the search for vendors and locations this summer when he's home, and once we get his school schedule for next year (September or October), we'll be FINALLY picking a date and starting the crazy process of wedding planning. Essentially, we'll be engaged for about 20-21 months before setting a date, and we'll be married after roughly 30 months of being engaged. I am SO ready to just be married. It may be the lack of excitement from lack of wedding planning, but I'm so ready to just go to the courthouse. I'm not big on the huge celebration, I am excited (ecstatic, really) to marry my SOUL MATE. I want the vows, I want the promise, I want the feelings of nerves, excitement, butterflies, happy tears, etc.
I don't want the stress of the small details, the seating chart, the programs, invites, etc. I feel like I won't stress over the big details. Most people don't even realize something "goes wrong" during a wedding/reception unless it's pointed out. Example: My cousin got married this weekend, and they forgot to turn these lights on during the ceremony. No one knew until one of my aunts who was at the rehearsal mentioned it. To a bride (not my cousin, she was totally chill & enjoying her day), that could be a "huff & puff" moment where you are giving the stink eye to any one who will make eye contact with her and huffing & puffing around to yell at the nearest employee of the venue. No one knew, you could still see the couple and bridal party just fine (although the lights may have made it a bit better), and the important part happened: they took their vows and made a commitment to one another. That's why we were all there!!
