I LOVE that anthem! I've only just started the process, but you've captured the emotional spectrum extremely well! As for killing time, I'm taking three online courses and working out four times a day-helps to rid me of *most* of the anxiety :)

Four times a day?!?! Mind you that's probably about what's needed for these stress levels! What are your courses?

Which anthem? We have two on here now and counting... we kind of need one for all moods  :P

My current mood...

I miss her I miss her I miss her I miss her I MISS HER!!! Just sayin'

Awww yeah I can't imagine trying to plan wedding among all this. We just got married in 2 mins at a court in Illinois. It'll all be worth it though and I'm sure you'll have a wonderfully memorable day :)

I campaigned so hard for eloping. If my visa gets delayed or denied, Gretna is our Plan B.

We're planning 2 events - one with each family on either side of the pond - we're both excited to celebrate, but for obvious reasons, don't have a lot of bandwidth for the minutia. Which is really hard for some family members to understand.

The advantage of a really quick ceremony is that editing the wedding video doesn't take long.

Ours was 91 seconds.

Frog is done. It looks quite good. Haven't published the blog post yet as I hadn't actually got around to putting the last one on Instagram yet so I thought I ought to do that first!

Frog goes up tomorrow. I'll put a pic here.
