I have to be honest here... I'm very overwhelmed at the response after we announced our engagement. It's not that I'm not grateful or happy, it's just that we've been together for five years, and this was a long time coming. We've had so many discussions on our hypothetical home and nonexistent children that the whole thing is really just a formality at this point. I don't even like weddings, I love going to celebrate the unions of my friends, but I hate the tradition and the hooha surrounding these. I'm also not a planner, I spend so much time running around and planning at work that doing it at home makes me feel ill.
But, I realize that this is an important day that should be shared with all of our family and friends, and to leave them out would just be cruel and selfish, and neither I nor he want to do that.
We are going on vacation this weekend to celebrate our engagement and 5 wonderful years together, and after that we're fully prepared to jump in head first and get this thing going. We need help, in more ways than one.
