When I think of someone who is getting married, I always seem to wonder how long it will last.  Did they think it through?  Are they old enough?  How long have they been together?  Well now it's my turn to get married.

Even though I know that I have not only thought this through long and hard, it still makes me wonder how long it will last.  We have been together for 7.5 years now, and I love him more now than I did when we first met.  He is the only one that I can really see growing old with and being happy with.  I know that he is the one for me.  We both are well past the "honeymoon" phase in our relationship and we have both seen each other at our worst.  He loves my kids as much as I do and he makes a wonderful husband and father.  Now is the time to walk down the proverbial aisle and do the right thing with the man that I would love to have as my husband.

Now, about the wedding.  At the beginning, I wanted a small one with close friends and family, but I have found out that some of the people that I wished (though didn't expect) to come, can.  GREAT!  Some people on the other hand that I could care less whether or not if they come, were hurt when they found out they weren't going to be invited.  Since I am trying to please everyone, they are getting invited as well.  Whatever, it doesn't really matter to me.

So, I am now down to about a week and a few days until the wedding, and I am in a rush to get things done.  Money has been really tight, but what screwed me over was a mother-in-law that can't seem to take 30 minutes out of her day and look at the reception hall that she rented for us.  If she had done that when I asked her to back in May, all would be well right now and I wouldn't have to scramble for everything.  Instead, she got rude.  Sorry that it's our wedding, not hers, and I would of liked to of been able to plan better.  Anyway, once we realized that she was not going to be of any use to us, and she was more of a hindrance that anything else, I took matters into my own hands.  Now we can get the ball rolling!!  I love my soon-to-be uncle-in-law and aunt-in-law!!  They have actually helped me with all of it and has been a wonderful stress reliever to me.

With all the planning and preparations that I still have left to do, it really makes me thankful for the people that are helping me along the way.  I am so glad that I have so many good friends that are coming from all around the united states to be there for us and help us.  They are so awesome and I hope at the reception I am able to thank each and every one of them properly.

Right now though, I have to run, run, run, run to get everything done.
