Count down to being a MRS: Where has the time gone?'

As the end of April approaches, I cannot help but realise that I am getting married soon. Like real soon. Like seriously...May is next week and the month after that is??? Exactly! I'm getting married REAL soon!

I'm having mixed emotions as the big day approaches. Not the cold feet kind - I definitely want to get married to my Boo. And also not the am I not ready kind - we've had premarital counselling, couples bible studies, working through books on marriage, we pray together, have devotions together, discussed at length all the things we need to know about each other before taking this step. Getting married is something we've put in the work for because we want it to be a success, and we know it will come with it's challenges - dude! we're taking this stuff seriously - IF YOU FAIL TO PREPARE, PREPARE TO FAIL! Now I'm not saying we're experts, or we have unrealistic expectations, but I'm not worried - God has us covered!

What the emotions are linked to is the 'OH MY DAYS I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! If you haven't been there, I'm sorry but that's the best explanation I can give lol!

It's exciting and emotional. I'm nervous. I'm buzzing...I'm all over the place - but it's all positive.

We had a wedding party get together at my place last Sunday. The Mum-in-law cooked us a great lunch and most of our gorgeous wedding party turned up. It was jokes and really nice to see everyone together getting to know each other so it's not awkward on the day. After our bellies were filled, we decided to go through the processional steps. Our trusty musician sat on a beanbag with a keyboard on his lap playing our songs. The original idea was to borrow the aisle of my church down the road but because we got off to a late start we had to make do with going through one side of the living room, down the corridor through the kitchen back through the other entrance to the living room. We made it work trust me. I have to give props to the MIL and a good friend of mine helping to organise us and by the third attempt it was looking good.

This was where I started getting emotional - even though I weren't in my dress, we weren't at the church but in my living room, watching the wedding party do the walk just made me realise we our rehearsing for a wedding. MY wedding! It's crazy y'all! but I thank God!

So with 45 days to go and counting, I am getting married! Go Nai!

Countdown to being a MRS: 2 months to go

Today is the 8th of April....
Do you know what that means?
2 months, TWO months II months from now I will be walking down the aisle towards one tall dark and handsome piece of awesomeness also known as my boo.
Wedding planning is going well I believe. Put it this way...I have my dress, shoes and special undies ;), we know when and where we're having it and people are likely to turn up...so yeah I think it's going well.

I've been asked if I'm stressed. I've said no. If I am, I am so not aware of it lol.
This journey has been so much fun. From finding the dress and wishing to wear it all the time and then realising putting that thing on is a two man job so it will stay locked away for now, to getting all on this 'crafts-ting' cutting, sticking, curling and glittering the life out of things...place looks like tinkerbell's been here. I've been wearing this glitter everywhere and wouldn't be surprised if I haven't eaten some of it. Though I was informed by one of my lovely bridesmaids that eating glitter will turn you into a unicorn...so I'll stick to food lol.

All in all, the journey is fun but I really want it to come around now so I can see the end result of all the preparation and hard work that has been put it by Sid and I and my wonderful helpers, and of course start our journey of marriage to my gift from God.

It's great and exciting and scary but awesome at the same time...though my dreams are really showing the deeper levels of anxiety I must have towards this wedding stuff. 2 dreams in under 2 weeks all relating to the wedding day and all showing things going wrong; either I'm not ready or vital components are missing such as my parents, the photographer and decent singing...

However.....our day will be fine because whatever happens will happen but I'm a leave it all in God's hands.

Yes.....2 months and counting!!
