Marriage

Getting SO Close! (Part I)

We're getting so close I can SEE it! (ha, Synesthesia joke there...)

I'm so overwhelmed, and for once it isn't because of things that need to be done.  Oh there's always more that can be done, but due to my insane necessity for planning I'm doing okay in that area now.  (Here's where I should just apologize to Tom, my entire family, all the bridesmaids, and probably the groomsmen - but seriously, thank you for putting up with my need to plan the bachelor(ette) a YEAR in advance...)

What's in a Name??

Marriage is a funny thing.  You start a new family as a combination of two already established families.  You're creating something new, yet carrying with you all of the history that came before you.  In the middle of planning all of the food, seating charts and music options, there was this one big decision that kept bothering us.  After the big party was over, and our focus turns to the real reason for this wedding - our marriage - how would we define ourselves?
