Going to the Chapel...

It is so hard to believe that in 5 days, Lee and I are getting married. I was reading through my earlier blog entries a few days ago, and I saw a post that said our wedding was 14 months away. Back then, I thought I had SOO much time to get everything done. Guess what? I was wrong. Those 14 months flew by! I don't think time has EVER passed so quickly! It has been over two years since Lee proposed! We have been dating for over four years. Where in the world does the time go?! I feel like someone has been sitting on my life's remote control and they are pressing the fast forward button.
In exactly five days, I will be wearing my wedding dress. I will be sitting in the bridal parlor at the church with my bridesmaids waiting on 5:00 pm when my dad will walk to down the aisle to meet my groom. I don't think the reality has set in yet, but the nerves certainly have. For the past few nights, I have woken up nearly every hour thinking of things to add to my growing "to do" list. Add in the fact that I have a Women's Health final exam at 9:00 am on Wednesday, and you can only imagine how stressed I am!
But, even with all of the stress and loss of sleep, planning this wedding has been fun. I have been able to spend so much time with my mom, and she and I have enjoyed every minute of tying hundreds of ribbons and making zillions of bows out of tulle because those projects have given us the chance to spend lots of time with each other.
I have no idea how I would have gotten all of this done without my parents. In fact, I know that it would have been impossible. My mom has been working on wedding stuff every day for the past few months. And dad was always a big helper! He helped us out a great deal. They have been so wonderful and I feel so lucky to have them as my parents!!!
We still have a ton of stuff to do, but I know that with the help of all of the wonderful people Lee and I have in our lives, it will all come together over the next few days, and our wedding will be everything we have dreamed of!
