Five Days

Wow, wow, wow 5 days till I become Mr. Syren. I know she hates when I call myself that as she'd prefer to be Mrs. CSTL but I like it. I think it has a great ring to it. We're the Syrens.

We're the CSTL's?? Doesn't quite have the same ring. Speaking of rings, I can't wait to get mine Saturday. Ha, the bride is supposed to be the one that can't wait to get her wedding ring. Our's has been an untraditional relationship all the way so it was no biggie to us that we picked out our rings together, picked out her dress together, went and got her sized and fitted for her dress together. Our tag line throughout the engagement process has always been Together. So of course we were together when we got my ring and it's cool (I'd say it's beauuutiful which it is but guys dont say that kinda thing). I liked it so much I wanted to start wearing it that day but she said I'd have to wait until the wedding. Of course , R wanted a ring too and we found one very much in the same style as ours but much cheaper ($9.99 for 3) that I can present to him on our wedding day also. Now I just have to talk to the minister and figure out how we'll work it into the proceedings. Like I said we're about as untraditional as they get but we get each other.

Our relationship has always been an extension of our profound friendship so the enormity of everything has been slow to hit me. But this morning as I was getting ready for work and she was questioning my tie and socks, it really hit me. This is what it's going to be like and I was happy. Just so very very happy. I kissed my wife goodbye and headed off to work with the usual honey I forgot or honey watch out for the garage door and honey you forgot calls on my way to work.

5 days and I'm nervous and all that other stuff too but we're already one and I can't wait to make it official.
