This Moment

May 17th, 2008 @ 12:33 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

Everything is so surreal. The past few days have been a complete whirlwind…wrapping up all the final details, all our friends and family members flying in, my bachelorette party on thursday, our rehearsal yesterday…A part of me can’t believe it’s all really happening smiley1019.

Eight years of friendship. Five years of dating. A year and a half-long engagement. All the planning, prepping, papercutting smiley403. And now here we are. Today, I will marry my best friend. Today, I will declare in the presence of the most special people in our lives, my love and commitment for Mr. D, my soon-to-be husband.

I had a rare hour alone yesterday, sitting in the church before our rehearsal, finishing up the final version of my vows. And in that moment, I was able to just pause, reflect, and bask in the overwhelming outpouring of love around us. Our parents, sisters, brothers, friends…they have been so loving and accommodating, going out of their way in every possible way to truly make this the most special weekend for us. I can’t describe how precious it is to have everyone here in one place.

I’m all a mix of emotions…It is all so wonderful and I am so so happy, and at the same time feeling a little bit sad that it is already going by so fast, that it’s slipping through my fingers as I try and hold on to it. If only I could pause and stay in this moment forever smiley1019. In moments like these, I am so humbled by the abundance of love and grace around us, by all the blessings. In moments like these, I remember what life, home, family, love is really all about. In moments like these, my head spins, I can’t stop smiling, and my heart can’t help but dance.

We head off on our honeymoon early tomorrow morning. I just wanted to thank all of you for your support, readership, and advice throughout the past year smiley1019. It has been an honor and a privilege to share our wedding planning and marriage preparation journey with you. Many posts to come on all of the details, including a plethora of DIY projects like our programs, table cards, place cards, and more. But for now, we’ll be off, soaking it all in smiley1019.
