Last Days of Singledom

Only a few days left until I relinquish my female freedom. I am getting married. I surprise myself for writing this, as it has been a well kept secret, except for a few of my good friends. Not all of them know when or why I am doing this. Not all of them would approve.

Should I be doing something to celebrate my single life? Or the end of it? Should I be sad...and scared that I am tying the knot? Honestly, I am not. I'm not scared, more apprehensive, about not knowing what will happen on that day. I always said I would never get married. I guess this is the only way that I would go down the aisle. Sudden, no long term planning, none of the jlo wedding planner sappiness every girl dreams about (or so everyone tells me).

Everything is simple. I went out with Cindy to buy my wedding dress yesterday. It was the first one I tried on. It just fit perfectly. I was surprised at how easy it was...no mess...no queuing at the dressing room. If only life were this simple. Then again, my world is different. Who else could say if only life were as simple as picking out a wedding dress? I've been to my friend's fitting for her wedding gown (oh it was a gown alright...took 3 of us to carry her train while she was going to the loo). Shoes weren't a problem. Everything I wanted to try on, they had it in stock. Now a size 3 does not come in stock in London cobbler's that often, so it was a good day for shoe shopping as well.

Tomorrow, Mike and I will be shopping for an engagement ring. Yes, only in my wacky upside down world...everything comes first, and the engagement ring comes last. Heck, you know what? I love it.
