Thank you everybody!!

@butterflylover:  That’s a beautiful idea too, to show the video of you getting married and all.. It sounds like your reception is going to be absolutely amazing!! Best of luck with it :).. And I’m sure I’m going to be really shaky too, I’m already starting to get there lol, I’m so excited and nervous at the same time.. I’ll have to see what’s out there for gold or ivory shoes and if I can’t find anything, then those silver ones are definitely the ones I will use, I love them..

@zippylef:  Thank you, that means a lot.. I’m still trying to get used to the idea, and everyday I try to think of new positive spins to put on it.. At least he’s not going to Afghanistan for this one, he said that the base they are going to in Iraq has become really comfortable because nothing ever happens there and that he’ll probably spend all his time in the gym, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.. For right now he’s stationed in Fort Hood, so I know how hard it is to even have them away from you inside the US, so I wish you all the best, it’s a tough situation, but so incredibly worth it..

@love2teach2010:  Thank you so much!! I found it at Marshalls, so I’m not sure where it’s originally from, but the name on the tag says “Soprano”, if that helps.. Fiance and I in a way are childhood sweethearts too, we’ve known each other for ten years, and that was a big reason we decided to do the ceremony beforehand, because, as he put it “We’ve done so much waiting already, I don’t want to wait for things that we don’t have to.” Which would make more sense if I were to tell you our entire history, but I don’t want to bore you with that one 🙂 lol.. Good luck with your deployment, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and I’m not sure how much help I can be, but if you need anything or have any questions as the deployment comes closer, I’ll be about five or so months into mine at that point (unless of course you’ve already been through one; I just know that whatever advice I can get I appreciate so much, since this is my first one)..

@stephanieastronaut:  How is it working out with all the planning for your big ceremony and wedding? Are you doing it like a regular wedding, even though you’re already legally married? I’m not really sure how to structure the ceremony; the reception I’m not really worried about as it’s just the big party..

@ejs4y8:  Thank you!! Fiance says that his deployment will be relatively uneventful as well, and I think it is southern Iraq that he’s going to, but he also said he’s guaranteed to go to Afghanistan before his 3 years is up.. Of course I’m a little worried about this first one, because I’ve never been through one before, but the Afghanistan one just outright scares me.. So I’m not looking forward to that one, even though it’s like not for another two years! Haha.. But thank you for all of your support through all of this, your experience with it and your eagerness to help and offer support is very very much appreciated 🙂

@love2teach2010:  I really appreciate it!! You’re completely right, we do need to stick together, and there’s really no one that can understand quite as well as an army wife can what another army wife is going through, so definitely if you ever need anything too, please let me know 🙂

@stefanieastronaut:  Yeah, I’ve been a little worried about it, I’m going to start planning after he deploys and I’ll have my mom and my best friend to help me, and I’m sure it’ll all fall together, but it does make me a bit nervous.. I feel the same way about maybe balancing it with a vow renewal type thing as well, like I was thinking for invitations, maybe something along the lines of “celebrate the marriage” instead of “wedding”, unless that’s what they usually say (I’m not entirely sure, I haven’t really thought about planning yet or what is going to go into it, because I’ve just been trying to get ready for this August!! lol). But I might try to tweak the ceremony too.. We’re doing the traditional vows in August, but we want to write our own vows for the big wedding, so that’s one thing we’re doing differently.. I guess I’ll just have to look it all over and see what makes sense is all..
