One Year Later

One year ago today, Matthew proposed to me!! It is crazy to look back on the year we have shared together! We are almost approaching ONE month left until the wedding. This year has been full of planning! We have been busy more than ever!! And we both have learned a few things along the way....

1. TIME FRIGGEN FLIES!!!! Where has the time gone?? Advice to any newly engaged couples, soak every moment in! Before you know it you will be getting marry in a month!!!
2. It is okay to Seek HELP! I would not be able to feel as confident going in to our wedding without my amazing support system that has guided me along the way. My mother and fiance have honestly been the biggest supports of planning the wedding. My mother has slaved hours and hours over tons of decorations and goodies for the wedding. I am beyond thankful for all the hard work she has put into making our special day so special! My bridesmaids have been super supportive emotionally during this process, which has really helped! Matthew and I made our big decisions together, and honestly it was the best feeling have my fiance there by my side for the food, the flowers, and writing emails and everything in between!
3. Friendships really SHINE! During a wedding process you take a long look and examine the friendships you have in your life. Who do you really see there for you years to come, or knowing later in life. It is a pleasant surprise at times to discover who is there for you and sometimes a bit hard to grasp other people. But, in the end what matter really isn't the people that show up or don't show up to your wedding. You get to marry the love of your life and the whole reason why there is even a wedding in the first place is because of the two of you! End of story. 
4. Pick your BATTLES. Honestly, people say that brides usually turn into bridezilla. I  would say I am crazy about the stuff I am crazy about. I obsessed over the little details because those mattered to me the most. But, I feel like in some areas I knew generally what I wanted, but wasn't insistent on one certain thing. But, I just would be even more exhausted if I was always stressed about every single details of the wedding!  
5. It is never TOO EARLY to start!!!! Thank GOODNESS we started planning a year in advanced. With Matt and I juggling our work life balance it has been hard enough to get into the same room at the same time to plan things. So, I am glad that we chose to set the date right away and plan as time progressed. I thought we really got to bask in our engagement and really make the right decisions for the wedding and us. 
6. MOST IMPORTANT We love each other more than EVER. When marriage is staring you right in the face and everyday it gets closer and closer. Some people may panic or be unsure if this is what they really want. But everyday I have woken up one day closer, and everyday I have grown even more excited and ready to be his wife. Marriage to me is the most important choice you can make, and I know everyday I am making the right decision to get married to Matthew. 

40 days and counting.

Happy One Year of Being Engaged Matty<3

Soon To Be Mrs. Glynn
