Two Years Ago Today
September 22nd, 2008 @ 4:50 pm by Mrs. Lovebird
Mr. Lovebird and I got engaged exactly two years ago today in Cancun. Wow…. that seems like a whole lifetime ago. It was two years ago today that Mr. Lovebird and I took the “plunge” and started a new chapter in our lives. And I sit here today, in awe of how much our life has changed since then… literally in awe… the excitement, the tragedy, the obstacles and triumphs…. basically all the joys and crap life likes to throw our way sometimes. And 11 weeks ago, THAT day finally came…
It’s actually kind of funny if you think about it. The way I see it, this whole engagement and marriage thing is really something! (See, I don’t even have the words to describe it!). The guy usually spends a lot of time and energy planning the perfect proposal, down to the little details of the when, the where and the bling, scheming, planning, hoping something or someone doesn’t spoil his plan, pondering to himself… will she say, “yes”, will she cry, will I cry?, will I get nervous….
I bet when Mr. Lovebird proposed, he wasn’t thinking, okay and now we begin the wedding planning. I honestly don’t remember what my first thought was. Oh wait I do - we have it on tape. But I’m sure my mind probably jumped to some wedding related detail. Now fess up…who else is guilty of that?
I’m sorry if my thoughts are all over the place today, although it is somewhat fitting of how this day was for me two years ago. Today, I’m just grateful. Grateful to Mr. Lovebird for planning the perfect proposal (that I in no way saw coming), and for starting our journey towards becoming man and wife. Grateful that he is and will always be there for me. Grateful to have him in my life, now and forever….
If wedding planning ever gets you down, just remember no matter how the day goes, in the end what’s important is that you are marrying the one you love. When you see your honey today, give him or her a great big and kiss because they have chosen you to be their “one”, because you never know what tomorrow will bring… just because. 
Do we have anything special planned for tonight? Not at the moment. We’ll just probably cuddle up and watch our engagement video. How quickly time flies.
Do you ever get that tingly feeling inside when the date you got engaged rolls around? What about your honey are you grateful for?

What an amazing story! I still remember my engagement more than 9 years ago on Jan 2nd in Napa.
My FI and I have been together for almost 5 1/2 years and we still talk about how lucky we are to have found each other. I’m grateful that we’ve stuck by each other even when things were far from easy.
Congrats on the anniversary of your engagement! Btw, I heart that pic of you guys on the beach - so beautiful!
