crossing the state, but really not leaving home
What a busy but eventful day. Actually, make that a busy and eventful week. We've been busy with wedding preparations. The date has been set - July 23. The invitations have been sent also, at least most of them. We'll check our list again tonight or tomorrow to see if we're missing anybody. In the frenzy of all things, it's very easy to forget something or someone. Hopefully all our double checks will prevent that. My mom is taking care of the caterer. She knows this chef in England who owns a restaurant there. He's flying in next week so that we can talk about the menu. We're both excited about that. Her mom is taking care of the florists and we both have full confidence in her.
This day like I said has been very eventful, not only because it's a day closer to our wedding but because it's our 3 month anniversary. *smiles* Time goes by quickly when you're with someone you love. Well, as my surprise for her, I secretly talked to her father on the phone. It was a man to man talk if you could say that. It was a very long talk too. Our conversation wasn't boring or quiet. In fact, we talked for a whole 2 hours. He asked me a lot of questions. I'm not complaining since by the fact that I called him, I should've expected him to ask me things. We ended the conversation on a good note though. He understood that I really love his daughter and that I'd do anything for her. He knew that I called him to really ask for his permission to marry his little angel. Not that I needed to because we would have gotten married anyway, but because I wanted to and because I knew that it was the right thing to do. We talked and we bonded. It was a great moment. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
A couple of hours ago, my future father-in-law and his family arrived here at LA. That was my surprise to her. I knew it meant a lot to her that her father agree with us being together. I really appreciated how she said yes to having an early wedding despite her dad's disapproval. I knew she was doing it for me, for us and that made me happy, really happy. But I also wanted her to be happy and I want her wedding day to be memorable and I knew it wouldn't be without her dad's blessing. So now as I write this, my family and her family are all out in the living room, looking at catalogs, punching numbers in the calculator, talking to each other, just bonding together. I can also see her from where I'm sitting and I can't help but smile as I see her smile herself. She's happy and I'm glad. I plan to make her happy for the rest of my life. I love you honey. Happy aniv baby. <33
