Ok, so, as most of you know, FI has been giving me a hard time about "setting" our date in stone. Part of me feels like he is anxious, nervous, etc. and the other part of me thinks he does it just to bug me. As I posted yesterday, he finally agreed to say "YES this is our date," I think due in part to his groomsmen coming up to visit and having a good time talking about it with them. Very exciting!
WELP, as most of you also know, we are currently considering both Syracuse and his home-county, Westchester. We found a great place down there, the coordinator worked with me for weeks to hand-craft an affordable menu, and I think I'm mostly excited about the signature cocktail we get to have served!?
ANYWHO, last night I brought home the free copy of Syracuse Wedding magazine and I was flipping through it at dinner, showing him some of the venue ads.
Then. He. Says: "What about the place in Westchester?"
I say: "Well we can't put all of our eggs into one basket, and we haven't even seen it yet, we have to keep checking out other places."
THEN. HE. SAYS: "No, no, I like the place in Westchester. Just book it now."
I'm sorry, what was that my dear? You, the man who hasn't even been able to for-sure set a date for the first six months of our engagement, are telling me to BOOK our reception venue!?!
Just to make sure, I double-checked with him tonight. He said "Oh yeah, I'm not backing down from that! I meant that!" Ahhh. I'm dying right now, in a really good way. I've been so on-edge for a while, worrying that his apprehension to
set the date meant he wasn't sure this what he wanted. I think what he needed was for somebody OTHER than me to really talk to him about this, and share their happiness and excitement, for it to click in his mind. I'm just so happy and excited and elated and all other great things.
Sorry, I know I said that would be really quick, but I kinda lied
