It has been a while since I have written about engagement. Invitations, address collecting, moving into new places, calling people, and trying to cultivate a solid heart for an upcoming marriage really take a good amount of time and effort.
And it is all worth it.
I have found engagement to be more awesome than dating, but very intentional. I find very little freedom from the mentality of making sure the wedding is together and make sure the marriage begins on a good foot after all the fun ceremonies end and we are faced with life. Personally I want that life to be one of happiness. It can get a bit tiring to go over addresses again and again.
Overall, the engagment thing is cool. Things have changed dramatically in the way I view the future Mrs. Tention Treatises. She is no longer just a girl friend who I ponder doing life with. She is the girl that I am inevitably going to do life with.
So for the record -
Premarital classes - passed well
Wedding planning - wrapping up the little details
Marriage prep - doing well and open to lots of new experiences.
