How long until the wedding?

It has been almost a year since I started this blog and life has sure gotten in the way. I have been engaged for a year and 3 months and it has flown by. The start of wedding plans officially is underway. I never realized how stressful these plans are. I have been going to my hair dresser for every homecoming, prom, coloring, and hair cut for 4 years. I made my appointments and got a call yesterday saying she wasn't able to do my wedding but someone else from the shop could.

If anyone knows me, my hair and makeup on those type of days is important. I almost flipped. It didn't help that she got married in December and she was saying, "Samantha it is just hair. In the big scheme of things its not that big of a deal." All I really wanted to say was B**** Please.

      Please don't tell me what will be important and what won't.
It's hard enough with having 4 out of 6 bridesmaids out of state and having a deadline on when they all had to buy them. (But being the lovely friends and family that I have, they all went and bought them!)
Even though I took the rest of the year off from school, there seems to never be enough time for all these plans. In between Work, Work, Work, having my car in the shop, and having to clean the house to show it, I have only an ounce of time to keep my sanity and get stuff done.

When I shut my eyes at night I can finally envision the doors opening and walking down the aisle. Whenever my mother talks about decorations, I keep telling her I need pictures. I can't imagine what it will look like because I don't care. Put some flowers here, Put some bows there. But I want that moment where I look up and see Dylan's eyes and nothing seems to matter. I get chills just thinking about that connection when we both know what is going on and the equation will equal marriage.

I talked to him about that moment in the car last night and he gave me the look I envisioned. He got teary eyed and said I can't wait. I am trying to stay grounded and not be what people call Bridezilla. I am very particular about some pieces of the wedding but in the end I know that he will be waiting and it was all worth the stress.

If only it would come sooner...
