Well, a whole lot has changed in my life since I last wrote. Specially 24 hours after i last wrote came the big news. Adam surprised me and proposed. It was valentines day and he had cooked a lovely dinner; bleu cheese stuffed fillets wrapped in bacon, baked potatoes, salad and really good red wine. We had plans later in the evening to meet up with friends at a salsa bar down town st. Pete and were going to watch a movie first. for the life of me i can't recall the movie...which we didn't watch that night. But anyway i was sitting on his couch and he had cleaned up and was walking back towards me. he had reached into his pocket as he was walking and said "oh there's something else i wanted to ask you" and with that he dropped to his knees opened a white box which held a beautiful diamond ring with a light shining on it. And he said "will you marry me?" Completely stunned beyond belife i looked at him and said "Are you serious??? Holy shit!" Poor guy looked scared for a second and he slowly sat on the couch. i said "yes of course" of course ;) So thus began my whirlwind life that now encompass me. I'm planning a wedding for 300+ people from 1400 miles away. My parents were on the ball and had set up a band and caterer by Monday. Monday afternoon the date was set; after being changed once before. We are getting married September 19th. It was 7 months away, which to me seemed like plenty of time, but everyone i spoke with was like wow that's quick. It has now been a little over 2 months and it feels like 6. We have most of all the major decisions made, dresses ordered, hotels reserved, even napkins monogrammed. So I find myself quite frequently saying...what should i do now. I am so bored, everything that i can do is done and the things i could do I'm afraid I'll change my mind seeing as i have 5 more months to think about it (the invite wording..etc). I seriously don't know how we got so much stuff done in such little time, but we did. Heck my mom is already planning the menu for the brunch the day after the wedding! So for now I'm researching roses and flowers to order (in 5 months) for the bouquets we'll make. I'm on the quest the perfect wedding shoes that will last me 12 hours on my feet. Yes this wedding will be a good 10-12 hours. Us Pleva's really know how to throw down a good party. My family is over the moon. 1. they LOVE Adam 2. They love weddings 3. they've been waiting for me to get married for 10 years!! Our wedding will be fun, that's what i want the most out of all this. I don't care that the reception is in a church hall or that our guests will sit on folding chairs. Want I want most out of this day is for all of my friends and family to have a great time and help Adam and I celebrate the beginning of our married lives together. We are both so ready and so happy.
