If you’re reading this, it means I’m currently in a Mazda somewhere on I-70, eating Swedish Fish or licorice, singing along to the Eagles with my almost-husband. If we’re not singing, we’re likely debating the nuances of a Jon Stewart rant or wondering aloud what the Kitty is doing. We’re going places.

We have a packed four days ahead of us — first meeting with our officiant, my one and only hair trial, reuniting with friends we haven’t seen in months or years, and the last minute details every couple deals with before their wedding. While the stress of planning may be high, I feel so calm and okay knowing what lies before us.

Marriage was always the inevitable for us — I knew this as soon as I met Ribs. I think at the very beginning of our relationship I resisted believing this because it felt too easy and too right. Three years later I know it isn’t easy, it’s just a willingness to change for each other, to understand each other, give when the other can’t, and take the moments as they come.

These are the days we’ll string along forever, knowing happiness isn’t a permanent realization, but just a series of small pleasures and glances, kind words and embraces, laughing at jokes we’ll soon forget and being with people who love us madly. Planning this wedding has given me new friends and new moments to tuck away, with only more to come.

For now, we’re driving. It’s a long road, but it’s love all the way down.
