Wedding update
Yes yes, you read correctly. Kind of out of the blue, no?
Al and I have been engaged since...December 2007? I think. ^^; I'm so BAD with dates. We still argue about the date we first met so I hope I'll be better for our WEDDING date.
Anyway, yes! Update!
I left Al in charge of making the necessary calls and he took an appointement with the legal guy (clerk of the court?) March 18th at 10am. I'll probably take the morning off to avoid running to work. We need some legal papers and a witness to come with us (he thought about my dad or little brother) and the wedding will be held 40 to 60 days after that: exactly when I wanted it to be! (Either May or June).
In other words, people, I'll be a married woman by summer. I need to shop for his ring and my dress. Oh boy...
We decided to keep it very small since we don't have much money to put into it and I really want to be married before I have kids (go figure... I just do!). So no friends or uncles or cousins or aunts. I know my childhood friend is saddened by this but if I invite her, I have to invite like...3-4 of my other close friends. In order to avoid conflicts (because well there is an aunt I don't really want to see there either :P), we keep it to our immediate families. Some people are much less comprehensive than others. -_-
Seriously, I don't see WHY people make such a big deal over that. :/ It's my wedding. What's so special about it? For me, it's just a formality of something that is clear in my mind. It's an opportunity for Al's family and mine to finally meet. *shrugs* But now, I've heard from mom that some of my aunts WANT to be there, they'll pay their own food, etc. I'll have to stay firm on this and hope dad doesn't get too drunk to take lots of pictures. :P Not that it matters to me that much...
But said like that, it looks like I don't give a damn. That's not true. I can't wait for it to happen. I know it's a big event that means commitment and that I'm ready to live with the same guy until death do us apart. I'm just not that kind of girl, you know? I think the only wedding I felt girly was ladypegacorn's wedding. Seriously, I amost cried when I saw them coming in carriage. Never happened to me before! And I don't think it was the hormones! >p Anyway, I guess I'll set the tone of this small wedding after we met with the guy.
