escape

I just got back from taking a friend of mine to Albertson's. She's sick and wanted some medicine and some orange juice. She couldn't find the kind of cold medicine she wanted, and we couldn't find the orange juice. I'm sure it was there, we just couldn't find it. But I got a 24 case of Dr. Pepper, so that made it all worthwhile. Sometimes when I close my eyes I can picture exactly how my life will be. I've been thinking about my wedding lately. I'm not engaged (although I have a promise ring), I'm not seriously planning it, but I've just been thinking about it. I know who I want to marry. I know when during the year we'll get married. I know how the church will look, how I'll look, how all my friends will look. I know what's going to happen at the reception. Am I rushing things? Should I just be concentrating on school and not thinking of my love, 300 miles away? Thinking of my wedding makes me happy. It's something I can do when I'm stressed out or when I can't sleep, and it calms me down. I haven't talked about my plans to my love, although he's told me he wants to marry me. I know that reality won't be anything like my imagination, except the happiness that we'll feel. I know we won't be going to Rome for my honeymoon, but I'll be happy wherever we go. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something I shouldn't be, thinking about this so much.

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked the poem. :)
I don't think you're going to emotionally screw yourself up by imagining your wedding. It'd probably be a little soon if you weren't involved with someone as seriously, but it doesn't hurt to think about happy things happening in the future. Just make sure you don't start making arrangements without discussing it with him, right? :P

I used to love dreaming about my wedding. I had a promise ring, too, and I would go through jewelry catalogs and wedding catalogs, dreaming of how perfect it was going to be. We have broken up since then, but I still have a wedding file that has various pictures and such. In high school, my best friend and I made a list of our bridesmaids. :-)
I think it's perfectly healthy to do, it's fun as long as you don't get too ahead of yourself.
