All Wedding, All The Time

I've been in Canada for the past 2 weeks visiting family and friends, with the main goal of designing and getting fabric for The Dress. The trip has been delightful. Full of tea, home-cooked meals, family and friends. There was a bachelorette party and bridal shower thrown in there as well. I'm going to miss tea, my friends, and - especially - my mom when I leave but I'm comforted by the fact that I will see many of my friends and my mom at my wedding in a little over 3 months. And then the lightbulb goes and I realize: HOLY CUPCAKES I'M GETTING MARRIED IN JUST OVER 3 MONTHS! I'm going to be white-dress-wearing, aisle-strutting, vow-exchanging, picture-posing, cake-cutting, first-dancing, bloomin' MARRIED. How crazy is that? Crazy cool.

A few things I'm excited for in married life:
*Our own place. It means our own bedroom, our own kitchen, our own washer and drier, our own stuff. Making meals for each other and even being able to walk around stark naked if we want!
*The Honeymoon. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, saynomore. Of course, I'm talking about getting to take a really nice vacation with someone I love...
*Developing a married life routine. Most married couples cringe at the word and I can understand why, but I am a creature of routine and some can be nice. Like having breakfast together every morning.

I've gotten some really good marriage advice while I've been here which has been both comforting and empowering. Everyone has been really nice and thoughtful as well. A few people have offered to contribute their own art as a wedding present which I think is really cool. I've always wanted to have a lot of art around my house and it's even better that I'll have some by people I know and love!

Well I must be off now to bed since I have to wake up early to drive to Toronto with my mom to look at dress fabric. Woo!
