Something Blue
Are you superstitious?
The groom is not allowed to see the wedding dress of the bride before the real moment. That would bring bad luck. More than in bad luck I believe that it is simply a nice habit to keep the dress a secret and a surprise until the wedding day.
Then the old tradition of wearing something old, new, borrowed and blue. You have to follow this "rule", at least I do! I will have mom's old ring, a new dress, earrings of my maid of honor. But something blue is still missing. Let's see what I will come up with... Definitely no blue garter for me, I want something more original. I think I'll slip something blue in my shoe just like my mom did.
On my wedding day I'll also be wearing pearls. A friend of mine says she would never use pearls because they predict tears. Well, one thing I know for sure is that there will be plenty of tears that day!
Despite, I'm not afraid of tears. Praying that they will be the ones of happiness and affection also in the future.

Celebrate the One You Love
It is not easy to write about love. Everything I would want to say sounds too sugary and has probably been said already for thousands of times. Still, I will give it a try...
My need to say something about love has undoubtedly something to do with the fact that I'm preparing my wedding at the moment. It's very exciting! We have chosen to have a tiny wedding ceremony with the most important people around us, very intimate and hopefully lyrical...
My fiance is the number one person making my life sweet. He makes me happier than I had ever known before. Last night we were thinking back to the times when we first met. It's already more than eight years ago, unbelievable how quickly time passes by...
It's a big cliche, but I seriously KNEW he is the one for me from the very beginning. It made no sense that time, but my feeling was very strong and afterwards I can say it was the right intuition. However, there is no need to make it all look very romantic. During these years we have already been through a lot. Sometimes totally distraught with worries, like the past year with my devastating eye problems.
Yes, this is a confession of love to my husband-to-be. Already the moment he chose for proposal (I was that time nearly without sight and waiting for the operation) shows his intention to stay beside me also during hard times. And he is a master of black humor! Although my eye disease is a very serious matter, I would die without a good laugh once in a while - he made me giggle madly about some crazy moments during the darkest period.
70 days to go and then it is time to celebrate our wedding. I'm a bit nervous, but couldn't be more sure about this step we are taking. Together.
