I mean, i proposed to her a 2 weeks ago, but that was all pretty automatically, i had plans for that already since last year (i even mentionned it here), and so it was pretty normal, but afterwards i started to think about it, it's a pretty big step, not that i had doubts, but i never thought about it as being "a big step"; i found it all pretty normal: we were engaged, i would propose to her, and then we get married, and live the rest of our lifes together ... big deal!

> Your whole life is about to change, and you're starting to realize it. As the date approaches and you're both stressed out about the wedding plans and so forth, you both may experience some *serious* doubts. If that happens, you need to remember that that's also natural and it's just the overwhelming stress of the whole thing. They will disappear after the blessed event, though.

Thanks for the support

and congrats with the 10 years....

Well, here in Belgium (in reply to other replies), it's the tradition that both the families take care of the preparations (i guess a wedding (in general, not only the preparations) in the US is a little bit different from here, but there are certain things i wanna do a-traditional), but most of the time the couple themselves do it (of course with the support from the *experienced* old folks), and that's the way i like it, no interferring by other people, we're gonna do it OUR way, and since last year we already had some ideas (you know, when seeing something we said "o, whenever we're gonna marry we're gonna do it this way or that way ...), and now we can concretely start to work them out.

Tonight we have another visit of two places and by the end of May we should be able to decide where and when we're gonna do it, but then it only begins: then the *discussion and preparation of the colours* starts; the place where we shall live, the church-books, the cars, the clothes, the people we invite, where they should sit, what ... , where .... *SIGH*
