As well as being very excited, I have grown to be very stressed! An hour and a half after Tom’s proposal, we were asked for the first time (of MANY), "do you have a date picked out?" Geez louise, man, let us enjoy our engagement! I feel as though you have to pick a date for the wedding before the date is picked for the proposal!!
After much consideration (and a week and a half of thinking about it and letting everything settle in), we have decided on December 11, 2010 (we think). Yes, I know that is 12/11/10, and no, we didn’t pick it so its easy for Tom to remember. I’m still traveling until early May, and weddings – or the kind we (I want) – aren’t cheap. That date gives us plenty of time to plan and save. Also, many big things happened for us around the winter time:
- December 2, 2007: we met at Idlewild
- December 22, 2007: first high-5
- January 1, 2008: first hug lol
- January 14, 2008: first date
- January 23, 2008: we started dating
- December 24, 2009: the proposal!!
And last, 11 is a lucky number for both of us! I’m hoping I can wait patiently for that long. I also hope I don’t explode before then. Since I was supposed to leave on the 15th, I wanted to get a lot done before then. Well, change of plans – I left the 5th.
Before I left, we researched many, many churches and reception sites, visited a few, plan on visiting others, tossed the idea of running away to Vegas around a few times, and here we still sit with nothing. I know, I know... we have lots of time. But I would feel so much better with definite locations. I guess we will have to do the best we can while I am away. I plan on researching as often as I can and Tom is being a trooper and helping me (mostly to keep me sane!). There are PLENTY of places I like - I just don't like the numbers after the dollar sign.
With all of this, I just ask for your prayers. The last thing we need right now is stress. It is stressful enough for us to be apart. We really don't need to add anything unnecessary. Please just keep us in your thoughts and prayers throughout these next few months! It means so much to us!
-the future Mrs. C
