Of all the days you're likely to read my blog, today isn't probably one of them. You're busy. You're running errands, picking up people from the airport, getting ready for your big engagement party this weekend because - OH MY GOD - you're getting married.
You included me on the invitation to your engagement party as you always do, but there's like a bajillion (I counted) states that separate California and Georgia and well, you know I wanted to be there. If I could, I'd be there or you'd be here constantly for the next year, planning every little detail of your impending wedding from the floral arrangements on the tables (mixed-matched) to the bridesmaids dresses (elegant for Fall) to the music list (Journey is a must) and the cake tiers (don't forget the chocolate!).
Of course, that's not possible, so I do what I can by seeking out every bridal magazine in every store, accosting their pages, cutting out ideas and putting them together to send to you. You send me emails of dresses - some from websites and some with photos of you wearing them (sigh) - saying "What do you think?" and I rate them, replying back with my comments and critiques, reminding you to make sure you can sit in them and move in them and feel absolutely stunning in them.
It's the next best thing to being there with you and while I'm so happy you've included me in the process as much as you possibly can, it's just not the same thing as being there. So when you go to the airport today to pick up your out-of-town guests who are lucky enough to be there for you at your engagement party; to celebrate the next big step in your life and to congratulate and wish you nothing but love and luck and hope and happiness, I hope you have room in the car for me.
