Hi,
I really am not doing this on purpose, updating every three to four months, but because I keep putting off planning for my wedding every chance I get, I end up feeling like my days have been passing by way too quickly
Unfortunately, I was not able to blog when we finally confirmed a date with the church. September 23rd. There is a pretty amazing story about this. Sean and I had a hard time finding a church to marry in in Vegas, but we finally found one and we learned through its website that it's the only catholic church that marries couples that are not members of the church in all of vegas, so naturally it was the *one* heheh. You think it wouldn't be so hard to marry in a house of God, but nothing was going to stop me :D. So on the church's website, we found out that weddings are only done on Saturdays and to our dismay, September 23rd would not be possible. Months after we were finally ready to contact the church, at that point we didn't mind whatever Saturday was available as long as it could be in September. Finally, my fiancé calls me one morning at work and tells me that not only was he able to request a date on a Friday, he surprises me and tells me he was able to reserve the 23rd. I can not begin to even describe how I felt that morning, I was so happy and excited but also grateful. My fiancé and I believed it was meant to be on the 23rd and I knew who was responsible for making it possible...Him.
From then on, we have been working on finding venues and as I've mentioned I've been putting off everything else like contacting the person that I'm thinking will work with me to create the perfect wedding dress. But it is back in motion once again. Please don't mistake my laziness for not being ready, but planning has never come naturally to me. I've never planned anything in my life and suddenly I am, and I'm so overwhelmed by the process and choosing everything that will be in it. My fiancé is finally realizing that I truly can not do this alone and thankfully, he has been understanding and willing to help me at every step he can. Because of it I'm a happy fiancee :). One more thing I must add, planning is probably not the hardest thing but budgeting. Learning how expensive weddings can be was one of the hardest task for Sean and I. But we finally have a budget which I will not disclose but lets just say, I've been working hard to save for our goal. -_-
To be honest, I'm very nervous and I blame it as the biggest reason for why I'm lacking much progress with planning. I'm terrified because I've never been the center of anything, and just imagining walking down that aisle with so many people not only makes my stomach turn but I sometimes can't even sleep well at night and I have to stop thinking about it to feel better. But this past weekend, I've learned to feel a tad bit better. One, we will surrounded by family and friends who want nothing but to witness us happy on our special day. But my greatest strength... is that I know Sean will be there to hold my hand through it all, and from that day he will be holding my hand forever...
I'll save the story of our recent engagement retreat in another blog. But for now, I think I'll stop here. Thank you Lord for everything these past months and weeks and days.
