I've only been engaged for about 3 weeks and I still cannot stop smiling. My fiance and I have been in a long distance relationship for 2.5 years,(the entire time we've been together) and I am so excited to start our lives together. We have had our fair share of bumps in the road but it's been nothing that we couldn't have handled together. We know that we still have a long way to go but I couldn't be happier.
It's been hard to express my happiness because I'm surrounded by people who are not happy for me and couldn't care less about my wedding. I've started doing basic planning like booking the reception hall and church and we've looked into pre-marital education, but it's hard not to have people to share the "little" moments with. I wish I had friends that weren't so jealous or resentful toward me. The most important thing is is that he and I do have family and friends that care a great amount and those will be the ones who are sharing in our special day.
