Weddingbee Blog

This is going to be one of those posts without pictures so if you want to skip over it, that’s cool with me. I totally understand because your appetites are still strong for fresh wedding inspiration and there is so much to soak in and not much time. I’m turning over a new leaf, though. The days of new project ideas and planning are behind me. I’ll admit, I’m sad to see them go, but I’m also happy to embrace our wedding, and take a break from the millions online.

We’re 10 days out and the adrenaline, nervousness, excitement, and joy are all beginning to rise to the top of this cup called “wedding!” I feel as though I could cry tears of joy at any minute because it’s finally upon us. The wait is finally over! After 18 long months thinking about this day, it’s suddenly right around the corner and well, I’m a bit shy to it. I’m pretty comfortable here behind the computer, looking at weddings, but now… it’s my turn. Getting my toes wet, the water feels cold. I’m not sure I want to jump in (and let go of everything: the to-do lists, ideas, worries), but I know if I do, I will warm up fast and it will feel so good.

There’s a lot going on for the Brooches this next week and while the wedding is most definitely the highlight, we’re pretty stoked to be moving in together, too! After such a long wait, against all odds, amid the breakups and make ups, discussions and dreams, we’ve arrived! This water I’m ready to jump into!

We’ve already planned our first week living together/last week single. It involves a lot of prayer, thanksgiving, and definitely, fully becoming one. I’ll be relying heavily on Mr. B to keep me calm. When I say, “Let’s forget the photobooth, we don’t have props,” he’ll say, “We’ll get some from the dollar store!” When I fret about the forecast, he’ll remind me that I can’t control the weather.

He’ll be relying on me too, of course. There’s no doubt he is counting on me to unclench my fists from around our wedding and grab his hand instead. It’s really the only way.

And then, well, guys, I’ll be writing my last post as a Miss! I’m already thinking about it to be honest. How do you put into words all the love and support and just everything that is Weddingbee? I don’t think you can…

In the meantime, if my posts and comments are scarce know it’s because I’m moving from behind the screen into the spotlight. I’m finishing up projects, unpacking into my new life, getting pampered, and having lots of laughs and happy cries with friends and family… thinking of you always.

How did you feel 10 days out?
