DAY 9 - PICTURE OF YOUR BEST FRIEND

Chad is my best friend. I was thinking about our wedding today and all the exciting stuff that will be going on and how much of it he won't be involved because he's the groom. I can't tell him about my dress because he wants it to be a surprise but it drives me crazy sometimes to not be able to tell him! The bridal shower and bachelorette party are obviously not for him to attend, and that's okay and the way it is, he'll hear about some of it all later. But I started thinking about the rehearsal and dinner the night before and having to say goodnight to him and not see him until it's wedding time! Right now it feels weird to me that I'm gonna wake up and be running around getting hair and make up done and everything else -- I'm sure on the day of I'll be so busy that I won't notice too much - but right now it makes me sad that it's not something he'll be around for, how foreign it will be getting ready and not be talking to him about how happy/nervous/exciting I am. I'll just have to think about how lucky I am to get a best friend for life.
