That’s a bit more than 3 months and to be honest, although our plans are nowhere close to being complete; there are days when I’m very ready to be married to him. We really solidified our relationship by buying a house and we have started the big steps in mingling our finances which doesn’t seem like the passionate stuff that love and marriage is made from but I think it’s part of the foundation that we need to ensure that we have the trust and commitment that have shaped our ideas of marriage, these two things that we have seen growing up in our parent’s marriage.
Last week was my parent’s anniversary, 33 years, and Matt’s parents celebrated their 30th year this year as well. We know we are lucky to have parents that have committed to each other for the long haul and we both know that they did not have easy roads. It’s great to see both sets act as teams and serve as guidance for what we do want and value in a relationship. Their relationships have shaped ours.
In terms of sealing our wedding date and starting our marriage, that’s really what we know that September 7th is about, starting our marriage and celebrating that. We’ve looked at venues, picked out DJ’s, picked out cupcakes, and made decisions in a manner that are reflective the marriage that we want and the relationship that we have. We’ve made them authentic to us and in a manner that reflects the respect for each other. Sure, sometimes it’s a compromise, I will not have a chicken dance and Matt wants to start the grand march in a particular way but as we set our plans in motion, we are doing it together. We ask help when we need it but we are listening to each other and that’s what brings a smile to my face and makes me tick off the days. It won't be about the dress and the cake it will be about Amanda and Matt.
We had our Dickinson engagement pics taken and as we get closer, I’ll share pics that we had taken.
