ATTENTION WORLD:
i'm engaged.
i was trying to figure out a witty, adorable, Heidi-esque way to say it, but i can't think of anything that would even remotely come close to how i'm feeling about it right now. (don't worry... i'm excited!!!)
at first, we took a lot of shit from Brian's family- they're worried about our financial situation and how we'll handle being married. They're concerned about us, and I know they only talk about it because they care, but they made both of us cry. Our first full day as an engaged couple, and we both cried the majority of the day. Seriously. Health insurance is expensive, and we need to focus on school, and paying the rent, etc, but we KNOW that stuff. We set a date for next August, but we had to cancel because Brian's brother is getting married next summer, and apparantly they were upset that we would be "stealing their thunder." Apparantly, when you get married, nothing else important can happen to anyone in the family for THE WHOLE SUMMER. So we won't be getting married until summer 2008, I guess. I was really pissed that we had to move the wedding day because we were getting married too close to their day- calling the church and telling the receptionist that we didn't need the reservation anymore made me cry like a little baby. Of course, the wait will be all the better for our financial situation, and we will be able to get the reception hall that we want (it is already booked for next year) and everything, but there is one caveat: for those of you who don't know, Brian and I are waiting to have sex until our wedding night. To people who have sex, it's not such a big deal to put off your wedding for two years. For us, it's A HUGE DEAL- especially with us living together in the fall, there is going to be some crazy temptation.
Once we told the families the news that we aren't getting married right away, they became excited for us. Now we, in turn, can be excited for ourselves.
I'M GETTING MARRIED! TO A SEXY, SMART, CREATIVE, STRONG, MUSICALLY-INCLINED MAN!!
Yes. I can finally bask in the glow from this absolutely ridiculously fabulously wonderful relationship. And the glare of the ring.
