Love is in the air...
This weekend I had the opportunity to attend my friend Brian's wedding in Bozeman. It was incredibly beautiful and to see what they pulled off in the short time they had to plan was quite impressive. My wedding is in 8 months (to the day) and I'm already stressin'. It was really a great time and I got to see some of my dear friends that I've really been missing over the last couple years. The really exciting thing was being able to introduce Jerod to those that haven't met him yet. I actually got to the point of saying, "This is my fiancé, Jerod" to people without freaking out. I'm kind of getting used to the idea of being engaged, I guess.
People keep asking me if I'm excited for my wedding. Of course I am, but at the same time it seems like such a long time and I don't want to get too excited for it so it seems like the wait is even longer. The wedding this weekend scared me a little because as I was watching the bride walk down the aisle I realized, "Crap, everyone in this room is looking at that poor girl walk down the aisle....wait....that's gonna be ME in 8 months." Now, you non-introvert people that don't have this kind of paranoia don't understand this, but that is INCREDIBLE stressful for me to think about. But it made it all ok when I watched them make their vows to each other and their smiles on their faces. And then the reception was so fun to watch them dance and laugh and smile. It was hard to not get romantic after watching that.
Unfortunately, I committed the mortal sin of forgetting my camera at home so I don't even have any cool pictures to post. Bummer.

Maybe when the time actually comes it won't be so nerve-wracking to walk down the aisle. (But then imagining myself, I guess my face would probably be bright red from everyone staring at me, whether I wanted it to or not! :-p )
I've heard that the bride and groom get a huge case of tunnel vision, and so it's not as scary as those of us that haven't walked down the Marriage Aisle would suspect.
Now, I'll tell you what's scary. Being a BRIDESMAID. Because you don't get the tunnel vision. I paste a smile on my face when I've been a Bridesmaid, because the first time I walked down the Maid Aisle, I was so nervous people thought I wasn't very happy for the couple. I've learned my lesson. Fake Smile, Baby! Fake. Smile.
MORE IMPORTANTLY! How did you get the wedding countdown clock? When I tried the BlingyBob one (or whatever its called) it screwed up my entire template...
Yeah, I know it will be fine when the day comes, but that doesn't stop the anxiety now.... ;)
Ainsley, Jerod wrote the countdown clock code for me. If you do a right-click->View Page Source(IE: View Source) and search for "Wedding Countdown", that should hopefully help ya out.
