I’m signing off for a while. I’ve got this thing I need to do—a couple of dozen people are showing up, I’m wearing something special.

For us folks who had to get married before the Big Day (and there are a lot of us out there—insurance reasons, military reasons, and in our case visa reasons!) it’s sort of like being in limbo, huh?

I’m already a Mrs. My name’s been changed and I’ve had the title of “wife” for several months now. Our day isn’t about two souls and two families coming together for the first time in lawfully wedded bliss. Been there, done that, got the certificate, right? It’s been terrific.

But I want everyone important to me to hear how much I love Mr. G and how I promise to have and to hold him from this day forward. It really is about the white dress and the rings, the family and friends, the drinks and the dinner and the cake—it’s a celebration, heyoooo! All these months of stressful planning have finally culminated into ultimate closure. Wedding limbo is almost over, and soon we’ll be laughing the night away. I hope I don’t drink too much, I wanna remember the fun we had and the things we said!

I really loved sharing this time with you.

I really appreciate all the comments, thoughts, and yes, criticism. What I wanted to show was that weddings come in all shapes and sizes but that we may all share the same experiences, from the very big ritzy hotel weddings to the traditional church weddings, right down to my own budget backyard nuptials. I have truly enjoyed hearing about your own planning experiences and hope to continue hearing about them!

To all the ladies also getting married this weekend, I hope your wedding is everything you wanted and more. Congratulations! To my fellow L.A. girls, let’s hope the rain lets up before the afternoon, eh?

Ja mata ne! See you later!

P.S. After the wedding, we won’t be having another honeymoon—we are moving up to the Bay Area! I apologize if I’m absent for longer than usual! Yeeeeee!
