when wedding blogs get you down

1. step away from the computer.

2. put on some loud music. jump up and down. possibly in your wedding dress. and the shoes. you have to break in the shoes!

3. refer to your fiancé as "my boyfriend" all day. it's very liberating. (sometimes i still call H-town boyfriend.)

    You have no idea how much I really needed to hear this today... I am about to promptly go put on my shoes (http://greencottonblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/peacocktoeyellow_lg2.jpg) and dance.

    ... I said fiance for the first time the other day and it sounded awkward... I am sticking with boyfriend.

    Sometimes I call Nick my "husband" just to freak him out. When I do he looks at me, furrows his brows, then mutters something about having second thoughts.

    And for that he gets a beat down.

    I kid. I kid. :/

    I didn't think I'd like using the word *husband* but most days it feels pretty good, I have to admit...

    He's forever "the boyfriend", if for nothing else, just for the irony :-)

    I hate the word fiance and refuse to use it. I am constantly corrected by those around me when I refer to Garrison as my boyfriend. It's a little annoying.

    I'm actually the opposite of most - my fiance and I have been engaged most of our relationship (we've been engaged 4.5 out of our 5 years together) so boyfriend sounds weird to me! But we're a bit weird and I wouldn't normally recommend being engaged 4.5 years, but we have our reasons. This post is great! Simple and to the point.

    :D :D
    I can't get into the "F"-word (fiance)... I think I'll be calling him my boyfriend right up until he turns into my husband :)
