Wedding bells are chiming! I recently (7 months ago, I know I'm a little slow) got engaged and it has made me realize a lot of things in life.
My mother always told me:
"Ashleigh we will always be your family but at some point someone will come along and you will start/gain a new family."
I think she made this easier by moving to South Padre Island, TX and forcing me to fend for myself but I truly understand what she means. Zach and I have started our own family here in MN...no I'm NOT pregnant! We have surrounded ourselves with friends and the family we have and I truly have to admit I may be the happiest I have been in a long time. Whether we are helping watch a friends baby, celebrating birthdays, playing Apples to Apples, hanging out at the Cabin, playing Cribbage.....
As we start on the planning of the day I have really kept in mind what the day is about and what it means. We want this to be a fun, lively, happy and remembrance time. Remembering and paying tribute to all those people and lessons that have made us who we are today. I feel this day (10.2.2010) will truly be a reflection of who we are and a glimpse into the life we are so excited to start together.
I have to thank Zach because he has truly kept me grounded during this time and helps keep me from getting sucked into wedding planning craziness! His one request..."that the wedding is fun and light hearted"
I think I can promise that!
