The Engagement!
I've got to say, I thought my wedding
day would NEVER get here. My husband and I were engaged for two and
a half YEARS before tying the knot (We wanted to both finish up our
degrees first). As annoying as it was, having that extra time to
plan and design every little detail of our big day was very much
appreciated when it started coming down to the wire, especially since
we got married in Asheville, NC and we both lived in Raleigh.
Something I've noticed with clients and friends who have gotten
married or who are getting married is that people want to rush to the
alter. Cherish the engagement! Believe me, I was so ready to get
married by the time December 22nd, 2012 rolled around, but
I have so many amazing memories with my husband during our
engagement. Going antiquing in Asheville on the weekends for the
items for our centerpieces, trying cakes together, dropping our
save-the-dates and wedding invitations in the mail and eagerly
waiting for the RSVPs. I loved it!! The day will get here, I
promise! Instead of wishing the engagement away, cherish every
single second of it. It's only the beginning of your forever! <3
