Because of the distance and various other factors, we are each choosing our own wedding bands... I went out tonight and chose mine! It is being resized to fit my child-sized fingers, lol, but here is a pic of it:
Sapphire is my birthstone, but more than that I've always loved them, and I'm so excited to have them in my wedding ring!!
So, now that I have the wedding dress ready on the hanger, the ring on its way, and plane tickets to Scotland in hand... it's going to be reeeeally hard to wait until February, lol! I'm ready for this to happen like NOW!
Also, the registrar who will conduct the ceremony sent us a copy of the vows that will be said... I got so emotional just reading through them and imagining how soon we'll be up there, looking at each other and saying those words. Beautiful!! One of the options with the vows is to include this poem, which I'd like to do (will see if Scott agrees!) because I love what is said here, and I think it very well describes our philosophies about relationships and each other:
"If you can always be as close, and as happy as today,
Yet be secure enough to grow, and change along the way,
If you can keep for you alone, your love as man and wife,
Yet find the time to share your joy, with others in your life,
If you can be as one, and walk through marriage hand in hand,
Yet still support the goals and dreams, that each of you had planned,
If you can dare to always go, your separate ways together,
Then all the wonder of today, will stay with you forever"
