I booked a venue today!!!!!! No - I''m not officially engaged yet - No ring on my finger, but SO and I have been talking about getting married for about a year now and it went from "well we might as well research some places" to "I might as well email the place to see how the dates are booking up" to "When do you want to get married?" to "I might as well go see the venue" to "IM GOING TO PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN!". I''m so excited I feel like I could just walk out into the street and shout I''m getting MARRIIEEEEDD!! I dont even care that he hasnt gotten down on one knee and presented me with a ring - I wish I could explain the feeling better through text. We are getting married July 3 2010 no ifs ands or buts! Its the 4 year anniversary of the day we met and SO and I could not be more content with the date - not too close not too far. For those of you who dont know, my SO is in the navy and has been on deployment since October so I''m doing all of this w/o him
Its not behind his back, we''ve talked about everything from our save the dates to the menu in emails. I went to the venue with two of my future bridesmaids who were more then happy to come along for the tour and we took lots of pictures to choose which site we want to hold the reception and ceremony (there are a couple at the one venue) In a way it keeps me closer to him, planning all this out, without him physically being here. Ah! I''m just on cloud 9 right now I didnt realize how real everything would seem without an official engagement. I cant wait to tell people - I told one of my coworkers tonight at an event we both had to attend, I called my best friend and told her on the way home from the venue, and I''m going to tell my brother when he gets home tomorrow. I know everyone is expecting us to get married - but planning it backwards might be a little bit of a surprise, in a good way. I just cant keep it inside ''til SO gets back and were officially engaged! I want to share it with everyone in my life including my fellow PSers
I never thought I''d be in this position, it never even crossed my mind to do the planning and booking prior to the engagement - I suppose no LIW plans it that way - but it doesnt feel wrong in anyway and I just cant wait for the next year and a half and all it has in store for SO and I. Thanks for sharing in my excitement
