4 weeks until our wedding day!!!
I can't believe it!
My dress is altered so I have to try and lose no more than 5-8 pounds this next month. The seamstress was so fast! As I said, she is a feisty little Greek lady who does things her way. She did a fab job and it looks gorgeous on me! She really knows her stuff-love her! Although I wish she worked a bit slower so I could have lost more before the wedding!
I don't think I have ever had to be careful not to lose too much weight before in my life!
I am getting so excited about the wedding now!
I met my sweetheart through eHarmony 3 and a half years ago-September 2006. I bought myself a membership for my 45th birthday. I figured I had been trying to find a good match for years with crap results so why not let someone else do it for me! We got to the the open communication phase and emailed and then spoke on the phone-I melted listening to his English accent. Then we met half-way between where we lived for a drink(we lived 50 miles apart) and I remember sitting there thinking how cute he was and hoping he thought I was pretty and liked me.
Neither of us were interested in meeting anyone else within a few weeks(he was my 2nd date through eHarmony and I was his first.) About 6 weeks after we met he asked me to fly to England with him for Christmas to meet his family and I knew things were getting serious! He had dated a girl for 2 years before me and never brought her home!
By February we moved in together. It did take a long time and several heated discussions where I ended up crying because I wanted to take the next step and he was scared-so was I but I knew I wanted to marry him! He kept saying eventually we'd marry-does he know how long "eventually" is in girl-years?!?
We finally got engaged Christmas-time 2008 and decided to wait until 2010 to marry as my older sister was getting remarried last summer and we didn't want to step on any toes or steal any thunder because I really wanted to get married in Spring-time. I love summer a lot but didn't want to be sweaty on my wedding day! Spring is the time of rebirth-everything fresh and new.
Ok, that was so not diet related but a little background on me and my sweetheart!
