Engagement
Saturday, April 24th...the first time Mr. C asked me to marry him. Wednesday, April 28th...the second time Mr. C asked me to marry him and I said yes because I realized he wasn't joking. I've always wanted to get married. I had a few "close calls" which, thankfully turned out to be duds. I also had this vision of how it is supposed to happen. What it should be like. (I have a lot more shoulds than I'd like to admit). Since I was a little girl, I had this idea of how the whole thing was to go down. I worked at my aunt's bridal store and saw countless brides walking in with stories of how their wedding will look. The bridal magazines were my Cosmo's and Elle's in high school. Reading through the articles, looking at the glossy pictures of brides and weddings...set me up for this, this, illusion really. So, the engagement is no different. There are many opinions and ideas out there about engagements (some of which are pretty ridiculous).
