Hello, World!

Well, it's officially been two weeks. Two weeks since I managed to breathlessly utter a couple of unrehearsed words to the question my boyfriend so proudly proposed. Will you marry me? he grinned. Of course, I so simply replied, after several seconds of stunned silence.

Days later I would think, Ugh, what an idiot. :: Yes! I mean, yes, of course! :: Gah, I mean really, who says, Of course? How dopey. Maybe I should have planned out my response a little more, just in case my boyfriend got around to getting down on one knee, because while I've seen all the romantic movies and read all the romance novels, it still manages to feel brand new and different when it's happening right in front of your eyes.

So even though the flawless evening trembled ever so slightly with my not-so-smooth babble, it slowly began to sink in that... I'M ENGAGED!! I'M GETTING MARRIED!! TO A REAL PERSON!! SOMEONE ACTUALLY WANTS TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIFE WITH ME!! MEEEEE!!

Ok, Whoa there. Down girl. Breathe, deep breaths. Taaaake it easy, sheesh, you have no idea what's ahead of you.

And truthfully, when I say no idea, I mean no earthly clue. I have not dreamed of my special day since girlhood, I have no idea what the difference is between Strasbourg and Kensington silver patterns, and I'm clueless when it comes to choosing my bridesmaids or selecting the perfect dress or deciding which flowers to adorn every inch of my yet undetermined wedding venue. When it comes to weddings, I'm (gulp) a dead woman. Hold me.

But, I've found my man, that I'm sure of, the man I want to be with forever, and that's more than enough to keep me going in this head-first plunge through the sometimes scary-sounding land of weddings.

And so, in the spirit of the amazing, unknown, wonderful, and anxious events that are about to transpire following our incredible engagement weekend, I decided to create this blog to document my possible morphism from champion-for-single-girls to bridezilla-deluxe. Well, hopefully we won't go that far, but it'll be a fun and probably quite amusing journey any way you slice it.

I mean really: I'm getting mar-ried. This is something you won't want to miss.
