It's Here!!!

The feelings that happen when planning a wedding are almost indescribable.  I may be one of the few brides that thinks that wedding planning is easy and fun but when the UPS delivery man presents the huge box to my parent's front door, I am overwhelmed with emotion.  It is mind-boggling to think I selected this dress four months ago after getting engaged less than 24 hours before. More importantly I signed a contract after parading around Kleinfeld for roughly 30 minutes, so when the box arrives my mind starts to race...
will it fit?
what if it's too long?
will it be as fabulous as I remember?
is it the right color?
who will do the alterations?
what shoes will I wear? flats? wedges? pumps?
how will I wear my hair?
will everyone like it?
veil? no veil?
statement earrings? or delicate?
will this live up to everything I've imagined since I was six?? okay maybe younger :-)

In reality, and with time I have realized that all of these questions will get answered and fine tuned, and to be quite frank it's really not worth losing sleep over.  Every time I have a fitting, I contort my body into my dream dress and realize it looks simply perfect.  It is exactly what I have imagined, and I can't wait for Tommy to see what's in this beautiful brown box.  

Even more I love that if the shoes squish my toes, or the stone on the earrings is slightly too large, or even if I am not sure the length is just long enough for the grass the fact of the matter is none of this matters.  None of this is important without the Mann (pun intended) who will be standing besides me in that hot day in May.  So as always don't sweat the small details or else you will distract yourself from all of the good, and there is always good, always.

Just to confirm it is perfect and will be everything I've dreamed of :-)
