I am not marrying my soulmate in September. I am marrying the man i want to continue discovering the future with, I can not imagine it otherwise. We have been through a lot together: two deployments to iraq, ups and downs, love and death, inspiration and funks, near and far, change and consistency, secrets and truths, quite moments and loud graces, the new and the old, frustration and clarity, long drives and quick kisses, privacy and public display. There has been much and yet there is a life time more.

18 and over?

I am at a delima, we were intending to have the wedding invite list be 18 and over, except my nephew (the ringbearer!!) There are just too many kids in the extended family, it would be an extra 25 people to invite. A lot of money. There are 3 that I would feel very badly for not inviting, but if I invite them, I feel like I need to invite the other 22 with out offending… and let me tell you, Italian’s hold grudges. UGH. What do I do?
