Cut it out?

Bride to be's Log

Date: 19th November 2010

One month to go. Not wedding. Engagement.

So much to be done? I don't know. MYM comes tomorrow. Let's see what to do then.

I desperately need a hair cut. now? later? I don't know which is worse. Now or later.

Maybe now. Usually hair cuts look good a little grown out. Besides, I could always trim it again later. Ok,it is decided. now.

This is what I want to get done.

G2B says I look like her. LOL. He's marrying me, he's bound to say these things!

G2B still remains too busy to enjoy these initial moments with me! sigh. soon I guess, soon I hope.

B2Bis busy shocking people the world over with the news of the wedding.

Too young they say. A year from now, too old they'll say. Cant keep 'they' happy all the time.

I am ready. G2B is ready. yes? yes! definitely yes.

If no, this is how we will learn anyways. so yes!

Scary, thats true. but ready.

Not facing it alone yeah?

PMS I think. G2B is so sweet about it.

Love you my G2B. You're awesome and one in a million. must have done something good to deserve a gentleman like you.

Tired. but happy.

Thank you Father.You've been more than good. You've been the best!

Good night all. tomorrow is another day in the count down.

Going to the Chapel...

It's starting to sink in. Slowly and steadily seeping through my system. I am going to be engaged in a month's time. and married five months after that.

Like I said. No more ordinary days.

Went to the Church. BEAUTIFUL church. Ancient Church.

Can see myself as a bride walking down the aisle.

Smile to myself. Here's where the ribbons go, there's where we tie the bows.

Planning. It's begun. We are officially going to be busy for the next few months running around for various things.

Must get the membership certificates from our churches.

Mental note to self. So many mental notes to self.

Diet. Mental note to self. Exercise. Mental note to self.

Alright B2B. You can do this. You get only one chance to be a bride.

I gotta work hard at making sure I do my best.

G2B is so sweet. Busy with work still. So patient. So loving.

Thank you my G2B. God bless you, God bless us!

He has, for sure.

So much more to do. So little time?

If God brought us to it. He will bring us through it.

Amen to that.

Should start a countdown. to engagement? to wedding?

32 days to engagement. 167 days to wedding.

The days merge, one into the other.

Never want to forget these days. This time.

Bliss!

Ordinary day?

Hello again. Today wasn't as eventful as yesterday.

No day is ever going to be this eventful for a long time to come.

Yet, no day is ever going to be as ordinary as it was before.

Children's day. I love children. Am waiting when I can make this blog M2B(Mom to be)!

No no. No hurry.Want to cherish my time with G2B for a few years!

For a few years? What rubbish. For my whole life.

I saw him at church today.

My fiance! Oooooh! Sounds nice!

He's looking smarter and more handsome each day.

Is it me, or is it so? It is so! Sigh. Am in love. I love it.

I love him!

G2B was invited to MII's house for lunch with the rest of the family.

Wedding planning and discussions supposedly.

Felt good. Great. Accepted by the family. Nice.

Thank you Father, My father in heaven.

Where's the wedding, Where's the reception?

Seems like a while away. But it's closer than we know.

Gotta go for two happenings today.

NN1's christening (Newest Neice1) and A&A's engagement.

Everyone's still wishing and congratulating. It's going to keep increasing.

Have to tell the peeples at work tomorrow.

That's going to be interesting since am the youngest of the lot.

Gotta get used to this attention.

Oh, I could get used to it!

So far it's been nice to be a blushing B2B.

Thank you father for Your love and Your grace and Your protection.

You alone deserve all glory and honour.

Keep us safe and continue to shower your blessings on us.

Amen.

It was not and will not be an ordinary day for a long while to come.

Meet the Parents

Bride to be's log.

Date: 13th November 2010.

Gosh, this day, I don't think I would forget for a long time to come.

It was time to meet the parents.

Whose parents you ask. Well, Groom to be's parents of course.

Let's do some quick introductions. There's me, I'm the new blushing bride to be(B2B). There's the boy am going to marry. He's of course the Groom to be(G2B). There's the parents FIL and MIL and of course MYM and MYF.

It's almost 10, they'll be here any minute.

I can't show how flustered and tensed I really am, will they think am not sure and confident about this boy? I've got to pretend to be strong.

OK. Breathe. Phone beeps. SMS. Who is it?

'We're on our way. Be there in 15 min'. YIKES. OK. Be strong. Quick and silent prayer.

'Father, be with us, we trust that you have great plans for us. Let Thy will be done'

Silence. Louder silence. The irony. Phone beeps. SMS. 'We're coming up. 'Gosh. Should I sit, should I stand, Should I smile, be serious?

Why don't they teach these things in colleges/schools?

Everyone gets welcomed and sits wherever they feel.

Close, yet far. Each one more anxious than the next.

Who's going to start the talk and discussion? Not me.

Random talk. Tension rising.

MYF starts. God bless MYF, He always knew and always knows when to say what and where and how. I love MYF! Wanted to give him a big hug for starting.

Oh this and that. That and this. Our family, your family. Our state, Yours. Traditions, customs. Yes? no? ok! Things seems to be going forward. No problem.

So it's all settled then is it? April 30th?

YES! A wedding date? YAY! G2B smiles at me. I smile back.

Well, that wasn't too bad. Wave good bye. Smile. Smile.

Can't stop smiling. It's just happening. Uncontrollably.

Ok. G2B is ok. So am I. Praise God that things went well.

Psalm 127 says, Unless the Lord build the house, the work of the builder is useless.

Amen to that. Now comes the blushing part. Let's tell everyone the good news.

Oh. Now? OK? Smile. Smile. Continue smiling.

Phone rings. Who is it? Best Friend Forever (BFF).

'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' Am getting married! says B2B.

'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' Replies BFF. How did it go?

Repeat word for word, the proceedings of the morning. G2B calls. Bid good bye to BFF promising to not leave everything for the last minute and start planning NOW.

G2B 'Can you believe it?'B2B 'We're getting married at last'

Alright. Talk soon. Love you.

Click.

Phone rings non stop. Congrats, Congrats, I just heard. ETC.

Smiles. Smiles. Smiling.

Can't stop smiling.

An eventful day indeed!
