In a few hours, I'll be making my last trip to Maryland as a single woman.
Since the wedding is three days away -- wow, I'll be spending a lot of time relaxing and just taking a break from wedding planning... or actually ending it completely!
In fact, it hasn't really hit me that I'm getting married in a few days. After talking to some newlywed friends, I know that this feeling of normalcy is pretty normal after all. For some friends, it didn't hit them until the rehearsal dinner, others didn't feel it until they put on the dress, others got the "I'm really doing this" feeling as they said their vows, and a small majority never really felt a huge difference.
I want to get excited. I'm soooo ready to see the fruits of my labor with this wedding and be united with Lu forever. So I'll be spending a lot of time mentally preparing myself for the vows that I'm about to say and the covenant that I'll be making with Lu.
With that said, I'm not sure if I'll be posting again before the wedding. I'll try, but who knows how hectic things will get?! I've officially handed everything over to my wedding coordinators, but you never know what last-minute items will need to be handled.
Since this blog is from "Do you think we should?" to "I do."; I guess this is almost the last stop on our journey. I'll be posting wedding pictures and giving highlights. However, if these are the last words that you read from me as a Ms., please know that I'm grateful to your for making this journey with me.
What started out as a blog to prove that Lu and I weren't crazy for starting counseling and marriage preparations before we were engaged has been a winding road of ups, downs, twists, and bumps. Thank you all for being my outlet and with nearly 11,000 views (Lu and I blocked our IP addresses from the counter, so there really were that many page views -- craaazzzy), I know that a lot of prayers will be going up for us this weekend!
Love you all. :-)

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding Ashley and Jeremy!! I've been reading your blogs for a while now (I'm a self-proclaimed wedding fanatic :)) and have thoroughly enjoyed everthing. My boyfriend and I are in the pre-engagement stage and I've picked up some good wedding planning tips from your blog. I pray that God continues to bless the both of you and that you have a wonderful ceremony/reception and and even better future together!!!

I'm excited for you. God bless your union and give you many years of happiness together.
Yay! I'm so happy fot both of you. Enjoy these next few days :)
After reading your last blog, I think it really hit me giving me the lump in my throat, along with the teary eyes. I have truly enjoyed this experience with you and Lu (although I am living through it in Atlanta). I can't express the joy I feel knowing that Lu enhances your life and you his. I look forward to seeing yo...u this weekend and celebrating the fruits of your labor with you. We love you and we are very honored to have your family become one with ours.
