Happy 100th post!

It is official now, I will be Mrs. Chad Graham on June 22nd, 2010 at 6pm. The bill has been paid, the rooms are reserved, my dress is on the way... well... there is still a lot to do, but the biggest things, in my eyes, are out of the way. Words cannot describe how excited I am; I am getting married!!!

Being a teenager, thinking about how I wanted my wedding, I never pictured having a destination wedding, let alone in Las Vegas. But now, I am 24 and I have changed. On February 25th, it will be 6 years years for Chad and I. I guess when you have been together for so long people think, "It's about time," but it shouldn't be that way. Chad and I decided to make a life together before we get married, spend time together, learn about each other; with the divorce rate as high as it is, why not be absolutely sure.

I think 6 years has given us a huge stepping stone for our marriage. Honestly I don't think much will change, of course we will be happy, but we are happy now, I guess my name will change, our taxes will change... Not much... I know that in the Bible and everyone's traditional beliefs say you should be married before you live together and such, but times have changed now and I think it has helped our relationship more than it has hurt it. You know? We have pretty much fallen in to the marital rituals, we have a bank account together (4 to be exact, that's how many they say there should be, 2 individual, 1 savings, and 1 joint), we pay bills together, he cooks, I clean, everything works in perfect harmony. The only thing we fight about is, "What's for dinner?"

So... on June 22nd, it is a big day for me, even though you think, "It's about time!" When we go to the spa for our massages that morning, and when I go to get my hair done, and my veil put in, my make-up done, and my dress put on, it will finally be time for OUR moment; the moment I have dreamed about all my life, the moment I have played in my head a million times. I think 6 years will make this moment more powerful for us. We have been through so much together, we waited for each other, we took our time learning about each other and now we get to seal the deal. On June 22nd, 2010, there will be a live broadcast at 6:00pm on the Caesar's Palace website and I hope that those of you who don't get to come will be there with us for our moment. I wish you could all be there. It's never too late to make reservations, the rooms are only $100/ night, and you get 10% off if you mention our names. Keep it in mind... If you don't get to come there will be a reception on July 17th, possibly at Pine Lake Country Club, not official yet.

I am so excited, not nervous, excited. He is the man of my dreams, I don't need to be nervous. My wedding dress is said to be here on Monday January 25th. There will be a private fitting with all of my friends. If you want to come... email me! I need some positive reinforcement on my dress, I am very self-conscious. : ) My cheeks hurt, I am so happy!
