Saturday

This morning the scales said 194lbs

Today I drove to Peterborough for the wedding dress fitting. It went very well. I also shopped for the accessory jewllery.

I had a good day, Mom and Lisa joined me as we did wedding stuff. Then Dad Mom and I went out to dinner before I drove 2 hours back home.

I'm glad the dress fits and even needs to be taken in!!

I am looking forward to the wedding day. I see it as a big celebration, a party with friends and family. I'm not really attached to the wedding "stuff" - just the celebration part! I'm fairly realistic in knowing it's only one day - that on Sunday I will wake up and everything will be the same. I've watched some of those bridal shows on TV where the Bride dreamily describes the wedding as a turning point in life, that some magical fairy dust will create this wonderful life and all will be different once married. I love Chris very much, and I am already happy. I expect life's journey will have some bumps in the road we will work through. I know that marriage is a partnership - and the only one responsible for "changing my life" is me. (sorry no knight in shining armour syndrome here - though Chris would be cute in armour - but probably would scratch the furnature - smile). For me the wedding is a celebration of what we've already built and a great excuse to share time with friends and family who don't get in the same room very often to have some fun!

Namaste
