Happy July 1, Ms. Viv ‘Nim Fanatics!Let me first of all apologize for not updating my blog in the past couple of weeks—I guess that I suffered a case of writer’s block. Well, I’m all healed and ready to post.
Today’s blog comes from our special bride-to-be, Miss Sarah Elizabeth Douglas.
Hey, Everyone!
Oh my God—I can’t believe it’s almost been two months that I’ve gotten engaged. I always knew that I would find and marry the man of my dreams, but I never expected it to happen so soon. Okay, so Duane and I have been dating for a good three years, but still, it comes as a surprise to me that he asked me to marry him. I’m so excited and I cannot hide it… where have I heard that before?
Duane is truly a blessing. I’ll never forget the first day that we met—how I was working at a mundane job, and he just walked in the office and brightened my day. In addition to walking into the office, Duane walked into my life and made me feel so wonderful. Then there was our lunch date, where he made me laugh so much that I forgot all about my problems. And of course, he remembered that my favorite color was orange, so he gave me an orange rose.
One thing that I will always hold dear to my heart is how Duane was right by my side when I suffered my first anxiety attack. I could hear the sincerity and concern in his voice when he told the doctor: “I’m not leavin’ my baby by herself!” Even though I was still a bit on edge, I felt a bit relaxed with Duane by my side. And you all should’ve seen how grateful my dad was toward Duane. I don’t think my dad realized it, but he gave Duane his full blessing to marry me.
As you all know, the big day is Saturday, September 17, 2011 at my church. I’ve already picked out my wedding dress and shoes. All I need to do, is find something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Hope to see you all… and by the way: I am living proof that anything is possible when your heart whispers “I Believe.”
