I am ready to be married! Geesh, the buildup to this wedding has reached an excruciating level and I am ready to walk down that aisle towards the man I love.
Here are all of the things I am ready for:
*combine our lives
*do our laundry together
*combine kitchens (believe me, it's a lot of crap...he is a baker, you know!)
*have matching towels
*combine our beds (ok, we are actually getting a new queen mattress, but many people have suggested we just push our twin mattresses together)
*guaranteed dinner time together (almost guaranteed)
*have Brad be the last person I see when I go to sleep and the first person I see when I wake up
*take his last name (yes, I am actually ready and willing to file the copious amounts of paperwork in order to change my last name...only for you Brad!)
*start sentences with, "My husband..."
*not have to live with another roommate...except for Brad
*be an aunt to Tyson, Ellie, Fynlee, Max, and the one in Jenni's oven
*have Brad on my insurance plan
*get a tax break because of our marital status
*fully enjoy every day knowing there is a man that loves me, no matter what (I already live this reality :)
I am just ready to make this thing official so we can start OUR lives together.
I love you Brad! I can't wait to be your wife :)

Jordan!! I love this post!! These are all really good things to look forward to! The last name thing is so time consuming, but it just makes something different. It really is like you are becoming one person ... it's hard to explain, but I'm sure you understand, since you're changing your name. It's a lot of paper work and driving around. Get your SS changed first, then go to the DMV. And another word of advice - once you get your Marriage License signed and back to you (a few weeks after you're married) get several copies of it, and honestly - I know this sounds weird, but take a copy with you EVERYWHERE! I was so happy I just carried one with me in my wallet, because you'll constantly be finding out somewhere you hadn't changed your name yet, and you need it changed. And you'll get a lot of checks for your wedding with "Jordan Harris" on it, and you won't have your name changed yet. Another good reason to take that cert with you.
ReplyDeleteTax break === AMAZINGNESS! That was totally what saved us these last two years with us both in school one year, and another year of not such a great economy!
We have a queen mattress...wish we had a king. I know a lot of couples wish this, too.
I'm so happy for you guys! And so excited to see you in just a few weeks!
Thanks for the advise Nicole! You are so great! I didn't think about making copies of the marriage license and taking them with me...great advise! I'm excited to see you too! Look for your invite this week. We're sending them out! So crazy!
