Alright, so here it goes. I know this is a day later than I had planned, and I am kind of doing this at the last minute, but I have always been a procrastinator. Plus I have been planning my wedding for over 26 months, what is an extra day for my LP? Like others before me, I have decided not to name names. First I am horrible with names, and I will forget someone, and I don’t want to. So many people have posted on here and have become a part of my upcoming wedding. I joined TK in Feb. 08, so it doesn’t really surprise me now that as I write this, it still is not hitting me that it is actually my time. I have been so lucky to see so many amazing women marry their best friends. Thank you to all the Nesties and the Bumpies that have came before me. My wedding will be even more memorable because of all of you. I have been lucky enough to see many of your last posts, some BFP, first homes, and many other life changing events, sometimes not always happy ones. I learned this board is an amazing community when I first came. I could not believe the friendships girls on here had created through their wedding process. This was seen even more when this board came together after some couples/families experienced unexpected events. I have never seen a board that would be willing so to help out someone they never seen IRL. This makes me so proud to be part of this board. Unfortunately, I have not always done a lot of posting on this board. Sometimes I have found planning my DW hard, as I struggle with some personal issues that made me sometimes wonder if I really wanted a DW. However, in the end, this made us both happy, and I get to marry my best friend, so what more could I ask for. Thank you to all of you for letting me come on here and vent, ask questions, ask for vibes, and just celebrate checks. This has been an amazing place to learn about DW. I know FI’s friend had one, but I didn’t want mine to be similar, and was afraid by asking them questions, it would be too much alike. When we started out, I was going to just send out some info on beachy paper. Although I didn’t get to do MIB, I did do the boarding passes, and everyone loved them. Without this place, I would never have learned about them, OOT bags, Vista Print, my hair style, will you marry my mum, and so many things that I can’t think of everything right now (again, I wanted to start this 2 days ago, but I am not always good at getting started on things). My squirrel lovers, I don’t know how I would have handle some things without you. Thank you so much. To my November brides, I know that some of you are already married, or getting married soon. Thank you for letting me know where in my to do list I should be, reminding me of things I needed to do. We have waited for this month for a long time. When I first came on here, there were few Nov, 09 brides, and I thought it was going to take forever to get here. Now I am leaving to go to Toronto tomorrow, and to Jamaica on Saturday morning, and it honestly does not feel that it is my time. I cannot believe it is here. I swear just last week I still had over six weeks to go, where did time go? I can’t wait to see you all on the flip side! To those getting married soon, time will go so fast that you won’t even believe it when it is your time to wear the crown. It is insane how fast time goes. Remember that this board is always here for you if you have any questions. Enjoy being engaged, and try not to sweat the small stuff. In the end you will be marrying your best friend, and all the small things won’t seem to matter. To all the new girls, welcome. Honestly, this is the best board that I have ever stumbled across, and I have been doing the board thing for over 10 years now. The group of girls on this board are amazing, they will be one of the most useful tools in your planning process. I don’t leave until tomorrow, so I will be lurking likely, but wanted to make sure I did say thank you to everyone. I can’t believe on Wednesday I will be Mrs. S. I can’t wait to be barefoot in the sand walking down the aisle to my best friend. I will see you ladies on the 22nd!!
