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!
