T-Minus 10 Days.

10 Days. That's crazy, right? In some ways, it feels like we've been engaged for ages. In others, it feels like we're already married. And then there are moments when I am stunned realizing that our relationship only started a bit over 2 years ago. So much ground covered together!

With only a few weeks left until W-Day, a certain calm has come over me. The lists, for the most part, have been checked, and rechecked, and the to-do's have all be done. The day has shape. It has a flow. And I'm getting really excited to finally be able to enjoy our day, after all of these months planning it.

It's no secret, I didn't enjoy the planning process as much as I thought I would. It was hard to be here so far from most of my family and friends. And while I had plenty of people volunteering their services from time to time, for the most part, I did things alone. Which made some of the tasks seem more like errands than they did preparations for our special day.

Luckily, my wonderful almost-husband picked up the slack, especially towards the end, when I was pushed to the wall. He endured many nights when I was too stressed out about details to function properly. And he let me cry when I got overwhelmed. It's easy to see why I want to marry him. And if the past few months were any indication of how things will be, I'm going to be a happy wife.

Wow. I'm going to be a wife. In 10 days.
