SOOOO, when is the date?! I want to mark my calendar.

Man Lauren! You're on top of things tonight!

I'm not quite sure how to take this...as a compliment or a gentle observation that I'm an annoying pain in the butt.

Good! Compliment it is!

I only have two pieces of advice (for now anyway) Please make time for each other without having the wedding as a topic of conversation. All of the details and organizational issues can and will weigh you down. Being married is the best. Being engaged is the worst. Everyone has suggestions and wants them to be heard. It's your wedding, do what you want! Go out on dates and make it a point to not discuss the planning process. Blah, blah, blah. nuf said. Have fun!!!

Jim is wise beyond his years. That's awesome advice!

One last bit of advice (for today)

Do not argue with a spouse who is packing your parachute.

Jim, you couldn't have been more right. I just got married in May, and I think Mike and I had some of our worst fights ever about a month before the wedding. The only good part of it all is, if you can make it through, your relationship is that much stronger!
