Today

by Mary on October 15, 2011

in Wedding

I’m getting married today.

I knew I wanted to take a few minutes this morning to blog, because obviously this blog is important.

We met through blogging. We not only changed the direction of our lives mentally and physically since we started, but we met and fell in love with our soulmate.

Our whole love story is chronicled on the blog in a few parts.

I. Because You Just Can’t Love A Fat Girl

II. Okay, Maybe You CAN Love A Fat Girl

III. Best Proposal Ever

Today we will add another chapter to our love story. Marriage.

To say I’m excited would be an understatement. The tiny bit on anxiety I feel about being in front of a small crowd is overwhelmed by the love and excitement that is inside me.

I’m going to marry my best friend. The person that knows me better than anyone else ever has. The person that treats me better than anyone else ever has. I’m going to marry Kepa, the love of my life.

It’s so awesome to finally be doing something in my life that I’m not second guessing. I’ve guessed and worried my way through a lot of things in life – college choices, college majors, living situations, jobs. But this? This I’m sure of. This is something I don’t second guess. This is something I know with 100% of myself is right and the best thing for both of us. And that makes it so very exciting.

So here’s to a big day in my life and in Kepa’s. Thank you so much for all your support and love and well wishes. We truly do love you all and thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us over the years we’ve been together. It really helps to know we have a whole community of friends across the world cheering and celebrating with us in spirit.

I love you Kepa.

Woohoo!

Enjoy your day and take a moment during the wedding to take a step back and take it all in. It is such a fun day and all those nerves will just disappear! I felt the exact same way last year when I got married. I was fearful of being on display in front of everyone but it was such an amazing time and everyone is there to celebrate you both! Here’s to a wonderful party and a beautiful life together!

Enjoy your very special day! When you get to Kepa you will forget there’s people there with you. I know when I got married it was like I had tunnel vision I could only see my husband and the crowd seemed to disappear and we got married in front of 300 guests lol.

Marriage is a mental state, Mary. It’s an institution.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that marriage is a mental institution.

Sorry, had to get that out of my system…

Have a wonderful day.

So happy for you both! I know this chapter will be the beginning of an amazing adventure in your new life together. There is NOTHING in this world like being married to the only person on Earth who has your back, knows you better than anyone and doesn’t judge anything you say or feel. I can’t wait to see pics, hear stories, etc! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, love and laughter. <3
