“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” –Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally
Five months to go until the rest of my life begins, and it’s all I can think about. I dream about our Wedding Day — the expression on Nick’s face when he sees me in my wedding gown at the top of the cobblestone staircase, sliding a ring onto his finger, and dancing for the first time as man and wife.
And our future home — a backyard with a garden full of herbs and vegetables and a big dog chasing sticks, a cozy kitchen with a vase of fresh flowers and a plate of brownies on the counter, a fireplace, and a bedroom oasis.
And the family we will have — baby laughs and pigtails and t-ball games.
I’m so ready for it all to begin.
