one more year
One year from now I'll be Mrs. Rachel Hanson.
So my question is, how is my life going to change? They say you can't really prepare yourself for the difference between single life and married life. (At least that's what I've gleaned from books, movies, and my main source of information about the world, television.) They say that after you're married your life changes in fundamental ways you probably could never have predicted. But the thing is, I'm not really single, am I? I guess I consider myself "single." I am technically not married, but John and I have been living together for almost a year, we pool our salaries to pay the bills, we make important decisions together, we're a team. (Fubar, you can stop gagging now.) I'm somewhere between single and married now. Quasi-married? Partially hitched? Individually challenged? Either way, I don't think much will change once we get the official paperwork and throw a big party. I'm not expecting to feel different.
Which is probably why it'll hit me like a brick wall, I won't see it coming. And I don't think I can do anything about it, can I? I don't really know what to think. I'm excited to get married, I feel ready for it. Of course I'm looking forward to the big party part of it, but I am genuinely looking forward to being a wife and having a husband. Our life is gonna be awesome, I just know it.
One more year of being Rachel Berman. . .

As an aside, we have Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH reserved for the wedding ceremony. It's becoming increasingly evident that October 7th will be too chilly for a 5PM outdoor wedding. And that makes me sad . . .
Our back up plan is to have the ceremony in the hotel where the reception will be held, but I really REALLY want an outdoor ceremony.
Thoughts? Solutions? Suggestions?
