Ready for marriage???

As you all know, my wedding is approaching. And I know some people think that it won't change anything since we have been living together for almost three years. Instead of that, to me, it's a big change, and a huge blessing to finally be able to say that I am Tonny's wife. Every day I feel so lucky to have found him, and to be able to stand infort of our families and God and make that commitment and say those promises is truly a dream come true.

My current "situation" has of course sprung many conversations with my family and friends about love and what is a happy marriage and how can I get there :). Everyone has an opinion, but I think my mom was the one who put it best. Last weekend when I was visiting her (and babysitting the adorable Daniel) she asked me to answer two simple questions. Do I trust Tonny, and do I find happiness sharing everyday with him??
I'll be the first to admit that I am super naive. I still want to believe in soul mates, and love " 'til death do us part' " and have zero tolerance for adultury etc. I say believe, because unfortunately life has shown me that sometimes things don't work out (my parents divorce after twenty-something years), sometimes you will be disappointed by the one you love (someone close to me having suffered many broken promises), and that the person you trust most in your life can be the one who ends up hurting you most. But even keeping this in mind, I can not think of any doubt or hesitation that Tonny wouldn't be the one for me, and that I couldn't trust him with everything I have... He is amazing, and every day that we share, every moment that I get to spend time with him I KNOW that he is mine and I am his. Forever.

The wedding is approaching...

It's crazy how fast time goes by. I remember two years ago when we got engaged it seemed that we will never make it this moment (I was desperate for it to come), and now it's here. I got my dress, Tonny has his suite, and the rings are being made at this very moment. And we even got all the paper work done!!! I couldn't believe last friday when we went to the SEURAKUNTATALO to give all the papers and sign everything and the nice lady said that everything is in order, so you can pick up your permit next friday. I could've hugged her right there and then!! The rest of the weekend I was all smiles. :D

On another note, Tonny is finally graduating on 12th of June and luckily we have managed to invite people to celebrate it (and our new home) with us. Let's just hope that the Finnish summer doesn't let us down, so we will be able to enjoy it to the fullest. Before that I have to survive my friends bachelorette party, which seems to be almost too much of fun...

I wonder if I'll get one... My organizing team has not even hinted about it... :D

Lots of love and sunshine for all...
