I haven't done a Me Meme in awhile and thought I'd bring this one over to the Wedding Blog because ...

Fact #1: Our wedding is less than 40 days away. Geez, after typing that out, it's a bit difficult to think of anything else. Because of the hyperventilating.

Fact #2: My dating history up till Scott included two great loves, one big head-scratcher, a fling who still makes me smile, a mama's boy, a boy with daddy issues, and a boy I loved from afar. I had a Big, an Aidan, and even a Berger. Scott defies labels - he is and has been, since the day we met, who he is. Nothing less, no one else.

Fact #3: For the first four months, I never once thought we would date seriously, let alone get married.

Fact #4: I like the chewiness of fondant.

Fact #5: When I think about Wedding Day, I feel giddy, like a six-year-old getting ready for a play or a sixteen-year-old getting ready for prom. But when I think about marriage, I feel serene and ... 30.

Fact #6: I love our proposal story.

Fact #7: The only other person in my life I ever would have married was smart enough not to propose.

Fact #8: Our bridal party is 12 large, plus us. That is one hell of a head table.

Fact #9: I know nothing about my wedding band. As in, has it been ordered? I don't know. What does it look like? I don't know. When do we pick it up? I don't know. How much did/will it cost? I don't know. Will I have one on Wedding Day? I don't know.

Fact #10: I am more excited to see Scott in formalwear than I am to see my wedding band.

Fact #11: I can't remember what my gown looks like.

Fact #12: Till we have kids, and I admit this is probably quite naive, I can't think of a single way married life is going to change us on the day-to-day. I've felt totally committed to him since '06, and we've lived together for about that long - so where do the differences come in? Well, the name change thing, yes. And maybe we will have nicer towels. :P

Fact #13: When we got engaged, I didn't want to have kids. Kona, Callie, and the 23 kids I see all day 5 days a week were more than enough to think about.

Fact #14: He wants to live in a house, and I love condo living.

Fact #15: Engaged Encounter was an awesome investment. Possibly the best $300 we've ever spent.

Fact #16: We've made each other healthier, not by doing things for each other (teach a man to fish ...) but by showing each other the best parts of ourselves, and then the worst parts, and meeting every challenge with an open heart.
