I love how I’ve been having all of these moments lately where I feel the closeness of the wedding date approaching. The reality of the upcoming marriage is really sinking in. I mentioned in my post about mailing our invitations that I had some excitement and a realization that I was, in fact, getting married. This is officially happening, people!

Just the other day, Mr. Deviled Egg gave me another one of those “this is really happening moments” when he said the words “my wife” in one of our phone conversations. (Talking about me, of course!)

Cue the excitement! Cue the butterflies!

Here’s the back-story on how this conversation came about.

Mr. DE’s older brother just got engaged a week or two ago (Exciting, huh!?!) and set a date for June, a month after our wedding. It looks like the logistics of their wedding will require an overnight stay at a hotel following the rehearsal, as the location is over an hour from home and the ceremony starts in the morning.

Because my current situation has me living an hour from Mr. DE, my first thought was maybe I could just drive from my house to their wedding in the morning since I won’t have to be there early for pictures, as Mr. DE would. (He’s the best man!) Mr. DE quickly mentioned how I should be staying with him because, as he put it, “I would like to have my wife with me.” The conversation continued for a couple more seconds, but I was still hung up on the “MY WIFE” part, and didn’t hear what else he was saying. The “I’m getting married” butterflies were a-flutter in my stomach.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I am going to be his wife! It’s amazing how those words create a flood of excitement and emotions. We are so close to being married and starting our life together. I can taste it! I’ll confess that hearing him say those words kind of made me tear up a little. This is all just so exciting! At the time of his brother’s wedding, we’ll already have been married for a month!

What moments have given you the “I’m getting married” butterflies?
