I'm Engaged!!! Er, now what?

So life has taken a turn. I am no longer "dating" I am "affianced". Now when I refer to Evan he is my "fiancé" rather than "boyfriend".

The day after Evan proposed, it was strange how thrown my life was. I didn't know where to begin, I didn't know how to feel. Everything was so different and yet the same.

But, once that faded away, I got into the whirlwind that is wedding planning. And you get to share in all the adventures that lead up to this momentous event. I hope that some of my advice and searching along the way will be able to help people or perhaps just make someone laugh.

In any case, the first steps I have taken along this path have been just gathering my thoughts and, of course, purchasing many bridal magazines. Hey, we all need ideas, right?

I sat down with the special lady I picked as my maid of honor, Adriane, and we got books and notebooks to start putting all the glorious thoughts I have and over the years down on paper. I am blessed to have her in this position since she is extremely organized and has done this before. That being said, we have ideas, but I still don't have a date.

Ladies, may I suggest that the moment you get engaged you think of ways to (as soon as possible) decide on this crucial piece of information.I want to do all this planning and telling of people, but I don't have the crucial information.

But, no fear, I will get this to be settled! Until then, it is all whimsy and fun!
