It's early. The overcast skies are hiding the sunrise, and the cool ocean breeze is dancing to the classical background music flowing from the laptop. My coffee is strong, as it should be, on a day like this where there are endless things to be done. Eric and Lyla are still fast alseep, where my nerves and excitement couldn't keep me under the covers longer than 6am.
It's here! Our last unmarried day. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of our lives - once we get through the chaos and errands of today, that is. Can't complain though, when my list of "to-do's" for the day consist of exercising, blow drying my hair, and getting a mani-pedi with my bridesmaids. Life's tough, get a helmet, right? Then, it'll be off to the rehearsal and the dinner, followed by a girls night at the hotel, which hopefully consists of some sleep, seeing how we'll need to be up around 4am to begin getting ready.
Tomorrow morning, I'll link arms with my dad (Dadster!), and be lead down the aisle to Eric, eyes locked on his. It's the moment we've talked about for 10 months, and now it's merely hours away. Whether or not we'll cry, or whether or not I trip and fall on my face...we'll know in one short day. I'm ready to jump out of my skin now, I can't imagine how I will be tomorrow morning. Let's hope my hands aren't too shaky and I can manage that ring on Eric's finger.
I wish my grandparents could be there to share it with me, though. I feel blessed to have inherited my grandmother's ring, which I am honored to wear the rest of my life. It's a little piece of my paternal grandparents I will always carry with me. And I will always have the memories of my maternal grandparents, and I know they all will be there tomorrow.
It's here, it's here, it's here! Off to begin the day, see you when I'm a married woman, blogger.
