Tomorrow is the day!
Jul 5th, 2008 by Emily
It’s hard to believe that Matt and I will be married in a matter of hours. There is so much going through my mind at this moment that it’s hard to focus on all the packing (and sleeping) that needs to be done.
In the two years since college, the time living at home with my parents has been great. As I try to pack for the honeymoon and get my stuff in order, a scene from my favorite wedding movies replays in my head. In Father of the Bride, Annie packs up her room and says goodnight for the last time. This movie has always reminded me of the close relationship I share with my parents and is making packing so much harder. I honestly didn’t think I would get emotional tonight, but part of me wants to sit and relish in the last of many nights in “my room.”
While all this goes through my head, I am excited for tomorrow. I’m curious how it will all turn out and wonder how this long engagement dramatically sped up. All of a sudden our wedding day is here and it’s very real. It’s difficult to wrap my head around it, while also knowing I have some more things to do and need to get some good sleep.
So before I sign off for the last time as Ms. Atwood, I want to thank everyone that lent their support, love, patience, generosity, time and prayers to Matt and me. As we embark on this new life together, I can’t help but suddenly feel unprepared, yet confident because we have many loved ones surrounding us, and many with great examples of a godly marriage.
