Wow, my computer has been blowing up since we posted our engagement on face-book. Its so great to receive all the love from family and friends.
Preston was so excited to share the news that he posted it before I was ready so I had to do a little but of damage control but no real harm done.
My friends have been amazing. We're so blessed . ( did I say that already?) I have more offers for help than I have tasks to be completed. Now that's a nice problem to have.
Yesterday I completed most of the tasks on my list:
1. Called my church to book an officiant—turns out that must complete pre-marital counselling. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Well, not really though. When we first started dating, we signed up for marriage counselling but it was painfully obvious to us ( at least to me) that we ( I ) was no where ready for marriage—using the word ‘baggage’ would be an understatement. So for over the last year we both got to work on ourselves ( with support from our churches) to prepare ourselves for our ‘perfect partner’.
2. Did not find my divorce certificate- gotta keep looking
3. Told my ex-boyfriend that I was getting married—that was easier than I thought-
4. Completed the guest list
5. Worked on the invitations with the designer
6. Shopped for envelopes for the invitations ( the ones that were supposed to be emailed)
7. And made our big face-book announcement
My clients have been so amazing Barb and Hope give me all these great ideas for my dress ( soon to be revealed) and how to decorate ceremony hall and the reception hall.
I had lunch with my Maid of Honour even though I did not ask her yet ( hehehe). She was kinda hinting but I played along. I will tell/ask her tonight.
Our goal for this evening is to send out a 'save the date' email. Oh, and look for my divorce papers.......
