I guess we thought a 14-month long engagement wouldn't be that long, but it seems like the most common theme throughout our engagement can be summed up in one word: IMPATIENCE.
We just want to be married already!
So far, we're 10 months in, and it seems like every other day, at least one of us mutters the words "Is it September yet?" Any excitement found in those words is most definitely laced with a large dose of disappointment, because, well...the answer is no; it is not September, and it won't be, ever!!!
(Or, at least, that's how it feels.)
Many people have told us that the wedding will sneak up on us and be here before we know it. But it seems like the time has been crawling by and September (and marriage) will NEVER get here.
Perhaps our impatience is due to the fact that we are holding off on a lot of things we'd like to do, and waiting until after marriage to do them. Some of those things include:
- Moving in together.
- Having sex.
- Combining income/finances.
Just because we've decided to wait until marriage to do these things doesn't mean it's easy! While the choice to wait was easy, the waiting itself has been hard. And waiting until after marriage to do those things has made waiting for the wedding day that much harder...
Grrr. Is it September yet? Anyone got a time machine we can borrow?
