In the most surprising twist of the year, Louis and I decided to get married, BAM! just like that. We got engaged in March and, well, we've been dating for so long that we really didn't see any reason to wait. I especially didn't want the insanity of wedding planning completely consuming my life for well over a year. So we set our wedding date for July 12, 2009.
The good thing about getting married in four months is that you have to decide everything quickly, and not allow yourself to second-guess yourself. A lot of the decisions we made came about very naturally--we'd always known what our first dance would be, which led to a natural choice of wedding favors, the venue was the site of my high school prom, the bridal party was made up of old friends and family, etc. But what would I wear on the biggest day of my life? To tell you the truth, there was only one wedding dress I had ever envisioned myself wearing, so I decided to screw what other people thought, and go with what made me happy.
