It is my goal to not have a long entry today for two reasons:

1. I do not want to keep you reading for long

2. I do not have a lot of time to use blogging today

Leading up to my wedding, I was very nervous.  Not the kind of nervous that people talk about.  I wasn’t worried about what if I tripped on my dress, what if the cake is not ready, where is the photographer, none of those worries.  I wondered if this was really what I wanted to do, for the rest of my life.  Marriage is a selfless commitment.  That means that, virtually, it is really not about you.  It is about YOU TWO and that is different from what you see on a regular basis.  I have always believed that when you get married it is supposed to be forever, although having grown older I realize that forever is really long time.  I worried that I would not want to do this forever, that at some point I would get bored, and then what would I do?

These are the things that I worried about leading up to the wedding date and as things begin to take shape and the dress was laid out and the bridesmaids were flying in from out of town and the cake was ordered, I thought about forever.  As the programs were made up and the menu was finalized and the honeymoon suite was booked and the dress was ironed and laid out with the veil and satin shoes, I thought about forever.  This is going to sound really stupid, but I didn’t not decide that I was really ready to get married until I repeated my vows before the minister, I listened to every word that he asked me to repeat and I realized that forever is a long time, and I life time of happiness is something worth working for, especially with someone I love.  So, forever it will be US TWO, working at having a great life together.
