With a year and a half down...

It seems like I was just in college, celebrating the end of my senior year with my boyfriend in Williamsburg, VA, wondering what would happen next. A ring, of course, happened next, along with a deluge of planning, bouncing ideas off from anyone who would listen, and some maddening honeymoon searches. Wedding planning isn't always what people tell you. It isn't necessarily filled with the wonder and excitement of becoming a Mrs. So-and-So; you can feel doubt about the future, regret over not having little decisions to make after you already have (backwards, I know), and anxiety over the tiniest of comments. What did my FMIL mean when she said that I should have higher standards for my planning? What does that mean? Am I making everyone happy? More importantly, are we (Mr. Library and I) happy?

With all of the pressures of "getting this wedding right," it can be easy to get caught up in the rush and forget to look at the celebration as a whole. Mr. Library and I are in love, we are able to celebrate that by coming together with the help of our families and friends, and we look forward to learning with and from each other for the rest of our lives. Our families are supportive - even with the occassional snafoo over detail preferences - and are willing to help us any way they can. Our friends are willing to join us from all parts of country and the world to celebrate and take part in our love.

Can it get any better than that? I would like to see someone try!
