Lately I have been thinking a lot about our wedding. It's about 16 months away and I just feel ready to plan everything now. I'm very much looking forward to marrying my SO, but sometimes I feel like time is going so slow.

We already have our venue, photographer, celebrant, Save the Date/Invitations, and flowers sorted out (thankfully my best friend, who is a florist & interior designer, agreed to help us out and do our flowers and some styling). It's one of those feelings of, "Can is just hurry up and get here already?!" I know it will fly by fast, but it feels frustrating not being able to get everything done now. I want to get the cake, the dress, the groomsmen suits, etc. I'm sure once 2021 hits, I'll be more than keen to start getting everything ready for the wedding.

Despite all this, I can't wait to marry the love of my life. We've been engaged for 4 years and together for 8. We're having a little one come in September. Everything feels like it's falling into place. Sometimes I think back to when we were long distance and am amazed at how far we've come and the obstacles we've had to overcome. From being teenagers in high school and in different countries and to now, young adults living together and starting a family is just such a huge accomplishment for us. I suppose no one understood our relationship in the beginning, and that was expected due to being young and being in different countries. But now we've been able to grow and experience life together.

I know in my heart that he is my person and I look forward to the day that I can finally say, "I do" and call him my husband.
