I had a vision of love, and it was all that you've given to me...

Right about now, I’m starting to understand that quote from My Best Friend’s Wedding when Michael says, “You commit to a wedding, then it seems like this momentum and you forget that you chose it.” I feel like we were standing still, soaking it up, for about a week after the engagement, then the ball started rolling. Now I’m just surrounded by all these decisions that have to be made and people telling me when they need me to make them. Add my first full-time job to that. At least the hard part is out of the way. I have my venues and my date locked down and I’ve ordered my dress. And oh, how I love this dress. As soon as I put it on, I knew it was the one against which all other potential dresses would be measured. I was right. Everything I tried on after that just didn’t compare. That’s the way it should feel when you find your wedding dress. You should never have to talk yourself into something. You just know, like you knew about the groom.

Now, all I have left is the fun stuff (bridesmaids' gifts, cake, DJ etc.) and I’m really looking forward to that. I’ve hired an amazing planner and she’ll be there to take care of the grunt work, so that I can enjoy the process. She’ll keep me from over-thinking myself into a trademark Tiffany stress frenzy. It's all coming together and it's going to be beautiful.

When I get overwhelmed by all of the chaos, I step back and think about the reason I’m here. I think about that moment when he asked me to marry him and how my heart felt like it was going to burst. I think about our first date and the way I feel when I lay next to him with my head on his chest. I think about what it will be like to come home to each other every day and build a life together. I'm here because of a thousand little moments behind us and ahead of us. I am more than ok with enduring a little stress to celebrate that.
