Wedding Update: Four Months

I absolutely cannot believe this is actually happening.  Hold on just one second.....Am I really getting married?????  Am I really getting married??????  I have to keep reminding myself that, yes indeed, I am getting married.  I'd love to hear from some of you who were older when you got married.  It's been harder, I think, for me because I'm older.  I've waited so long....I've had some anxiety about pulling the proverbial trigger.  I don't know if that makes any sense at all.  Regardless....that's a topic/battle that deserves a post entirely to itself.

The bottom line is.....no this isn't a dream.  YES I am getting married!!!  SOOO.....with so little time for this engagement, let me get you caught up on what has been accomplished so far.
