It's Time To Say Goodbye (for now)

I cannot believe that the time has finally come to get married! I’ve been on LIW since I got engaged in October 2003. Never did I imagine that time would pass by so quickly or that I would have the opportunity to talk, laugh, cry and vent with such wonderful people. I am so grateful to have found this website and to have found each and every one of you!

I want to thank all of you for ALL that you have done for me. You’ve answered my questions at all hours of the day/night to calm my fears, listened to my wedding rants, offered advice when it was very much needed, and shared in my excitement. – this and so much more. Your friendship amazes me…it humbles me and I am grateful for it.

I have loved every step of the planning…even the stressful moments all seem to fade now as I write this. I am so fortunate to be at this point in my life and I am so grateful for it. Rich and I have known each other since the first week of freshman year in college – that was nine wonderful years ago. Most of my memories include this wonderful man. And no matter how sappy or corny it may sound – he is my very best friend and the love of my life. I could not imagine going through this life without him by my side. Somehow I managed to catch is eye - not for a moment but for a lifetime. I cannot wait to marry this man!

When I think back on this I think most clearly of all of you who have helped, guided, advised, laughed and cried with me along the way. I especially want to thank Azoodie, Kimberlybride, Doodles, d&d05, Suezboss, Lori0517, and DMck for all of your amazing friendships. Thank you for everything you have all done - from calming down about shoes to making me laugh to being there to help me with all my projects. I love you all so much!!! You’re friendship means so much to me and you will forever be held in my heart. I count you among family.

To all the wonderful LIW girls - I wish you all a lifetime of love and happiness…of good times and good memories…and a lifetime of friendship. To Attn2details and HappyBride2005…my date twins….I wish you all the very best!!! Diana - Sunny skies for you tomorrow!!! It’s our time!

That was such a sweet and touching goodbye. I have no doubt that you are going to make such a beautiful bride and that all of your guests will enjoy all the details you put into your wedding-everything I've seen pictures of looks beyond amazing! When I read what you wrote about your FH Rich it brought tears to my eyes. May you always be as happy as you are and may your marriage always be strong. Congratulations Ang!
