I sometimes think have I really taken the time to enjoy our engagement. Cherish these moments as a fiancé, the phase were you are preparing to be someone’s life mate. Or have I been so consumed with wedding planning that I have forgotten to soak in the moment? I have heard recently from the mom of one of my flower girls “You are handling it all with a lot of grace.” “You may be going crazy on the inside, but you are doing an amazing job of not showing your stress! “ Very impressed!” I said; well tell my fiancé that, he sees all my crazy moments.
It’s true, I have done a pretty good job of containing that inner bridezilla that all of us brides have. I must admit, I always feel as if I am forgetting something, that I will forget something. So I make sure to check and recheck the checklist. With three months left to go, I have been left uwith no choice but to “JUST BREATHE.” That’s what I am telling myself. Because I am a teacher, school starts in a couple of weeks, and I will have to place the majority of my attention on my 20 first graders who could care less that Ms. Fairley, is getting married soon. I have to Just Breathe, and know that the people I have around me like my FABULOUS wedding planning Rechelle Ward of A-ward winning events (shameless shout out), my reception venue coordinator, my fiancé, and my amazing bridesmaids and other friends and family will step in and help where it’s needed.
This wedding will go on, and even if everything is not as I dreamed it would be. At the end of it all I will be Mrs. Galbreath on November 19, 2011! So as I stare at the calendar that is on my desk, I remember to take the moments and cherish the rest of these next couple of months, to enjoy my soon- to be hubby. And just reside in the moment that we are in. Like someone told me recently “These three months will go by in a week!” So in the meantime Imma just breathe!!!
Happy Planning!
Elizabeth
