I'm engaged

9

So I recently got engaged to my boyfriend of a year. He proposed to me on our cruise in Belize. I am so excited that I have him. and that he loves me enough to want to be tied to me for the rest of our lives. It's more than I could ever dream and ask for in a man. He takes care of me, and loves me for what I am, and what I am not. He accepts all of me flaws and all. My moodiness, my craziness, my slight psycho girl- fiancee tendencies. haha!

It makes me nervous too. I want everything perfect, not just wedding wise... but life wise too. I want to be all that he fell in love with before we made the final decision. So everyday, since the engagement, I always ask... "Are you sure you want to marry me?" his answer has been, "yes, and forever."

What comes with this? Are there any engaged SG's or Hopefuls who have helpful tips and tricks. Cause planning this wedding, which is August 25th 2017, I'm overwhelmed, slightly, or more so. I have venues to look at, and wedding planners I should call, decorators, stationary, Bridesmaids maid of honor and deciding what type of gown I'll be wearing. All this on top of a crappy job, trying to pick up a second, dealing with the fact that my fiance is only home on the weekends, and we're 23 and 25 years old. Wanting so much out of life. But knowing we want to do it together, see the world together. :) WHOO! so many emotions. We'll figure it out. I know it.

AND lastly, my first set Lazy Superman, self-shot, comes out in 1 MONTH and 1 WEEK. :)

My wife and I skipped all the fuss and had a "Bring a plate" wedding and reception in the local showground pavilion. My brothers supplied beer, my musician friends supplied music randomnly throughout the night and the whole thing cost us about $300. We still have people tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Don't worry about trying to impress anyone. Just be yourselves and the people who love you will appreciate it no matter what you do.

Well, sad to say, CONGRATULATION on the engagement, ( this means we can't date?) as far as advise, as hard as youre gonna try, everything won't be perfect, not knowing anything about your guy or HIS family, remember, he is a accumulation of what he was raised in, He won't be perfect either, life is hard alone, and as you should know , YOU can do bad all by yourself!, but I hope that the two of you have GOD in your lives, cause your gonna need GOD in your marriage. as far as the wedding....REMEMBER!!!! YOU HAVE TO LIVE AFTER THE CEREMONY, the wedding day is emotionally and mental hell, if you party the night before ( DON'T) YOU WILL BE EXHAUSTED, you may need to remember your vows, and keep track of what and who is SUPPOSE to do what?? family yours and his will pluck nerves, and children will make you irritable, and you worry about everything and too much!!, try to pay for everything up front, it gets annoying when venders hit you up for money on the wedding day. depending on the actual ceremony, church or civil, that will add to the butterflies and nerves, making you ready to pass out. if its hot, AIR CONDITIONING hopefully no rain and pray that your peeps and your new in-laws act civil until you tie the knot!! then the war is on!, as a former limo driver, please please don't have the ghetto wedding. GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS AND LOOK DEEP BEFORE YOU LEAP! PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING HELPS.
