Something New
I just found out yesterday that Jess applied to be on the show Say Yes to The Dress Atlanta. If you don’t know what that is it is another bridal show on TLC where they show women choosing their dream wedding dresses. Anyways, she had to send photos and “our story” for the show to even be considered. Apparently they liked the story so she is going to the shop a week from today on the 26th to film. They have the right to not use it on the show but it is going to be filmed regardless. This is crazy. I didn’t think she would do this but she is so excited about it that I am glad she is getting a chance to do this. Anyways, just thought you would like to know that one.
Am I supposed to Feel Different?
So as some of you may know I proposed to my girlfriend of 7 years yesterday. It went very well. I had one rose on the staircase attached to a card envelope with a hand written note inside of it saying “Proceed to the bedroom with flower in hand”. When she got into the bedroom she saw the real card in front of the remainder of the roses. She read the card and looked at the flowers, said thank you and asked what the occasion was for; I told her it was “just because”. She then picked up the flowers and noticed a red box that she has received before that was sitting behind the flowers. She opened it up to find an empty ring case, said that there was nothing in it and when she turned around I was on one knee and told her that it was because I had it in another case. I then asked her to marry me as she continued to believe that it was not happening. I like the way things happened especially for not knowing how I was going to do this until the day before. It was simple yet it was us. I didn’t want to do anything big and fancy because she is not that way at all. She is a very simple person and something with just the two of us, planned properly is all we needed. And the best thing of all she refer saw it coming. Not even a subtle hint of it.
My real question is am I supposed to feel different? Waking up today an official fiancé today instead of a “pretend” fiancé for medical reasonings doesn’t feel any different. Is it because we were together for 7 years and 3 weeks before this happened? Did we get too comfortable with each other to make this less special than it should be? Is there a point at which you have been with someone for too long where things that are supposed to be special don’t have the lasting effect as it should had you done it years before? Just to clarify by no means do I regret the decision I have made but I am now feeling like I might have waited too long to know that I was ready and could have made this more important. As far as planning, it will wait until the end of September (after her sister’s wedding) due to our involvement with so many things in her wedding. Of course we will look in our down time but chances are nothing will be set at all before then. I will try my best to keep people posted as things progress.
