Are we there yet?

"Are we there yet?" is quite possibly the most annoying and possibly most blood boiling question a child can ask you on a long car ride. As the adult you say "we are almost there" about 10 times before finally snapping and saying "stop asking me! We will get there when we get there!".

For once, instead of being the driver, I am that child in the car. I know there is an end in sight, but just can not take the waiting anymore. After over a year and a half of being engaged, that is my question I ask myself everyday. "Are we there yet?!?!" and the answer is "we are almost there".  There is less than 4 months left till our wedding day.

Don't misunderstand me, I am so incredibly excited to get married to my soul mate after 8 years of dating. I could not be more thrilled for December 17th. However is it wrong that sometimes I feel that I can't wait for it all to be over? I can not wait for my wedding day to be finished and begin our life as a married couple. I am tired of the drama that comes along with weddings. Family drama, friend drama, money drama...is this really what it is all about? Everyone always tells the bride "Your wedding day is about you and your husband, nothing else matters, don't let anything get to you." Well that is alot easier said than done. In theory, yes the wedding should be exactly what you and your finacee want but let's be real here, it never happens that way.

Large events such as Weddings or funerals bring out the best and worst in everyone. I am thankful for all the people in my life right now that understand that this wedding is for Ken and I, and will accept whatever decisions we make without complaint. As for everyone else, if you don't like it, tough.

As our day approaches there are still many things that we need to accomplish. In the beginning I was so overly proactive and ahead of schedule with everything. Now, I feel like I have started procrastinating. As of now invitations must be ordered, the floral arrangments must be ordered, tuxes must be picked out, bridesmaid's shoes as well as my own must be chosen, and more importantly our honeymoon must be booked!
