The whirlwind is almost over...
Where to begin....
The last couple of months have brought Shaun and I the closest we've ever been. Long talks have really helped relinquish any doubts I've had about our relationship...more importantly they've helped me with any doubts I had about relationships with men period. There were a couple of times where I thought that maybe I was being unfair to him because I was second guessing the stability of our friendship/relationship but, turns out he had some of the same fears I did and instead of fighting, we're talking. I haven't been perfect but I've been completely honest and he's accepted my faults and we're moving on. There is no one that knows as much about me as Shaun and he loves me just the same and vice versa and that's the best feeling in the world.
Onto the wedding stuff:
We have had the best luck, EVER. My dress fits, finally. Our groom's/bride's people are mostly paying for their own stuff (which wasn't the case in the begginning). My dress alterations were free, our photographer is charging us half price, Dad & Helen paid for our honeymoon and ceremony site. Mom paid for our flowers. Shaun's mom is paying for the catering. Shaun's grandparents just sent us a check for $1,000. All of my closest family is able to make it, as well as some happily unexpected members of Shaun's family. My friends have been super supportive.
TWO WEEKS TO GO!
And then we come home from the honeymoon and start packing for the move! Good bye, Shithole Stead!
