This is my last year as a Simmons!

[bethyylovee]

This time next year I'll be married! Every holiday from now on will be my last as Beth Simmons. It's so bitter-sweet. I'm excited to be starting my life with Stephen, but it will definitely be sad leaving my parents. People tell me that's immature, but I don't think it is. I have such an amazing relationship with my family, so it will definitely be difficult.

I'm counting down the months, though! Almost ten to go!!

Best of luck on the transition phase. It is not immature, but healthy to morn times passed and to give yourself time to settle in your new role. You must figure out all for yourself and you as a couple. Hope you will have fun with it

Do you still live with your parents? (Have you always lived with them?)

[Spooks]

This is amazing!!! Good luck to you both

Congratulations! I do not think it's immature for you to feel sad about leaving your parents. I felt the same when I went off the college and when I joined the military. I miss them a ton still and think it's normal, especially if you've had a close relationship with them.

Leaving my parents to live with my man is kind of sad to me too, so I know what you mean, but at the same time I am really excited to get married and be his wife

Congratulations!

Oh that's great news, I'm so happy for you! I wish you the best!

Can't wait to see pictures of your wedding! Cherish every moment in and out of your marriage. And cherish your SO (as if you didn't already xD)

That's great. Best wishes. Any changes are difficult, good or bad, so you are feeling normal emotions.

There is a way for it not to be bitter-sweet: Keep your maiden name, or hyphenate both yours and his name. I did the latter and it's cool as hell.
