I've actually been struggling to think of what my hobbies are because for the last year my hobby has been The Wedding. Luckily, I love weddings. I made my super-detailed wedding planning book a few months before I was officially engaged. Nick calls it mania, I call it an interest. From the time I was a little girl I've always loved weddings. I used to save my allowance and buy an issue of Brides Magazine. Now that I write it out like that, maybe it is a little weird. Moving on...
Nick and I met in October of 2003 when a friend from college (Dave) invited me to go see Jerry Seinfeld's stand up show with some of his friends. Nick says that he thought I was "cool" but "weird", whatever the hell that means. Later he changed it from "weird" to he was "intrigued by me." He liked that I drank beer out of a can, but I guess that I was weird because I was there with Dave? I have no idea. I thought he was cute and very smart and quick-witted, all qualities I find very attractive. I also knew he had a girlfriend who lived far away so I didn't think too much about him after that night. But as the rest of my senior year went on, we started hanging out more and more. He met me one night at 2am at a Waffle House and we went to several movies. Eventually he bucked up the courage and asked me out for April 21st, 2004. We went mini-golfing and braved a tornado. Pretty soon, we were together all the time and even when he moved to Joplin (3 hours away) for work, one of us made the drive every weekend.
And now I'm going to be his wife. Even though it's been a very natural progression into marriage, there are times when I just freak out on the inside and think, "I'm marrying Nick Fossey? But I barely know him! 5 years ago I didn't know he existed!".
Should I be worried about these thoughts?
