I'm getting married next Saturday to a woman that I love and have a ton of fun with.
Awesome! Enjoy the day and congrats. I remember you mentioning the engagement.
Thanks! We got engaged last November, October 5th is the big day. Looking forward to it. :) Though I've realized something funny about leading up to the date. The media always focuses on people getting cold feet and having second thoughts or getting nervous about that. I couldn't give any less shit about getting married, as in the legal sense, we're both totally okay with that. But man am I tired and stressing over the planning of the event itself. I just want it to be over.
That is a pretty common theme regarding marriage. I was the same way, I wasn't concerned with whether or not I wanted to get married but I sure as hell was tired of planning it and having my entire world revolve around one day and night. My favorite moments were when we actually got married and at the hotel that night. -Not for the reasons you may think, though that was in there too, but really just to be alone as husband and wife for the first time, that was cool. Plus Michael Stipe from REM was staying there and I got to meet him in an elevator. I figured that was a good sign. I'm sure everyone has already told you this, but the best advice is to take moments alone and be present. Also, many times it seems people have to spend too much time talking with people they rarely see or will rarely see again, don't do that. Spend your time with the people that are the most important to you and will be for many years to come. Have fun!
