I cannot believe that we are so close.
At this exact moment we are sitting, 10 days...yes I said DAYS away from Tim and my wedding and thank the Lord for that!!
Stress levels have been overall, good. Well managed. Well actually I had a momentary stress-fest for all of 10 minutes today while talking to Tim on the phone.
To be completely honest I'm not finding the load particularly difficult. I have returned to Forster, N.S.W., been here since Sunday with the intention of spending one week racing around like a mad thing finalising everything, and then spending the 2nd week, the lead-up to the wedding just relaxing and trying not to stress at all.
So far, so good. I
have been racing around like a mad thing. Mum, Dad and Kate are at work, so I've found myself with very little, to no possibility of distraction and to be honest, enjoying the ability to potter off to see the florist, the photographer, the cake lady, and the reception manager Pete in the pre-organised times which suit me perfectly.
So why then the stress related blow-out today, I hear you ask. To risk sounding like a complete sap, it was because I was stuck talking to Tim on my mobile while knowing that he was sitting in his ute, stuck in Melbourne traffic over 1000 kms away and that there was no chance I would get to see him until thursday next week. Basically I miss him and to be perfectly honest, the reason I can be bothered with all the hoo-haa and fuss is because the prize is finally in sight...getting to start married life with my beautiful Tim.
10 days, can you believe it?! a week and a half and finally I'll be a married woman. But better than that, I'll be Tims wife!
Bec you asked what the wedding is going to look like. Without making the whole thing sound completely daggy, due to my inability to describe it the way it deserves [the photo's of the day will do a far greater job than my vocab ever will...don't worry, I'll post some ;) ]
In my opinion, it's going to be gorgeous. simple and uncluttered. Think; black lace; peacock feathers; blue iris's; accoustic guitar; self written vows; crystal glasses lit by tea candles. We've opted for classic elements with the hope that we'll look back in 10 years and still really love it.
I realise that I really haven't given much away. But I shall give you a hint of excitement and tell you to follow this link
Here, click on the song "Forever". The song is gorgeous, now try to imagine it stripped back so that all that is left is an accoustic guitar and beautiful male voice for the whole song. Now try and imagine where on earth I would decide to use that ;)
All shall be revealed in less than 2 weeks. Oh I am cruel :P
For all of you who are planning weddings of your own, I do hope that it is all going splendidly, and that you have enjoyed it as thoroughly as I know I have.
Alas, I have a list of "to-do's" calling. I look forward to posting pics and filling you in on all the details.
You know what? I really am so excited, I cannot wait for the 6th of October to be here! Though more than that I cannot wait for Timmy and I to make it all official and start this wonderful, challenging and growing, once in a great lifetime experience, called marriage. I adore this incredible man of God, named Timothy. I love him and I choose to love him, for the rest of my life.
