The toughest part of planning a wedding, a one day event, is not getting to think and discuss and plan a marriage. There have been some highlights the past few months with more focus on the marriage than the 1-day wedding, but I would have liked many, many more of them! The Pre-Cana day was pretty awesome, in that we got to spend an entire day focused on each other and us talking about everything from communication to kids to the families we came from. Moving in together has been pretty fantastic too as it has helped to iron out little stuff like finances (ha, little!), living styles, chores, etc. before the wedding. I was asked by two different people in the last week how it felt to live with Nick and my answer was and still is, the best.  

Tonight, I read a post from A Practical Wedding. The blogger is getting married shortly after I am, and I think she says it very well on what I want to be focused on for the next 27 days. It’s hard not to fall into this trap, and worry that our wedding isn’t enough, doesn’t have enough, isn’t “us” enough and especially after yesterday’s visit to St. Charles!! But in the end, we’ll be married (yay!!!!) while surrounded by our families and friends and that’s perfect to me.
