I’m listening to the song I will walk down the aisle to on repeat. The song that will guide me to you on our wedding day.
This song as a lot of meaning for me — for us. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner, but when I did, I knew. This is right. I’m past tearing up every time I listen, but I know I will again on our wedding day.
***
Last night you fell asleep on the couch while I watched Gilmore Girls. The couch — though six feet — is still tight with two. When my left side started to go numb I wiggled myself out from behind you to move to the love seat.
You grabbed my hand and without opening your eyes, smiled and nuzzled into my arm.
I left you to sleep and resumed watching until an hour or so later when you opened your sleepy eyes.
“I was dreaming about a wedding,” you said.
“Our wedding?”
“Yes,” you smiled. “Our wedding.”
***
I lie in bed at night, my mind racing with things left to do, time frames and more. I should keep a notebook by the bed because my morning they’re gone and I have to start over. I wake up frustrated that I can’t remember who I have to call, what needs to be scheduled or my latest fun idea.
But then you roll over and pull me close and I forget the worries for another day. Because all that matters is you — the boy who will be waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

i actually do keep a notebook next to my bed for that exact reason, well maybe not wedding planning, but jotting down all the thoughts that rush through my mind as i’m lying there trying to fall asleep. i find as soon as i write them down, i can sleep. you should definitely do it.

And have no fear, we are organized, on top of our shit and we.will.get.those.things.done.dammit! We will! Even when the list seems endless and there are so many choices, look you just made another choice – and a big one!

What a beautiful post.
My husband and I, after almost 8 years of marriage, still try to fit on the couch together.

I want to ask what the song will be, but I want to be surprised to when I get to see you walk down the aisle…and probably start weeping like a child who just skinned their knee.
I’m a sap for things like that, what can I say?
