It's finally hit me...sort of.

Almost a month ago, when we decided to do this, it didn't hit me. I was excited, but it didn't hit me. When we drove to the registry, sent in our applications with the appropriate mugshots to be put up, it didn't hit me.

Went to a designer to get a dress,( well, though its just the civil registration, it is still LEGAL and there will be PICTURES and heck, I wanna look like I'm getting married), it didn't hit me. In all fairness, did not get the whole bridal gown thing, more of a nice simple befitting dress, so maybe that's why it didn't hit me. When we went to get our rings designed, it didn't hit me...well, maybe cos it's not done yet, we haven't seen the mock up and so its not as real...but last night, it hit me....

We were at an old school mate's dinner...the company was great, apart from catching up, counting the number of kids each couple has and bitching about some class mates ( We found out that one is a Dato' and another is a loan...I mean "financier"), I finally realised, its happening. I'm getting hitched!

It started a good 8 years ago..well maybe 10 if we count the one of the 19 year old...but one after another, my single, childhood friends, school friends, people I grew up with, all bit the single hood dust. They all got hitched. It was like a band wagon sort of thing, with one couple starting it off ( They now are in the lead with 2 kids already of school age) and as sure as the sun dawns in the east, others followed soon after.

Many years and countless dinners with the parents and inquisitive friends asking "whens your turn" later, we've finally reached the point where the ones who aren't hitched are few. So few, we can count them off in one hand. Gotta say, I thought the pressure would be immense, but now everyones focus has shifted to "How many kids you got?" and being still officially single, I can get away from these questions.Heh.

But last night, sitting next to BH, it hit me, we're doing it..well, legally anyway. In about a month's time, if all goes well, I will legally be no longer single, no longer solo, no longer a lone ranger...I will be legally married to BH, I will become a part of a couple, a duo, a half of another person, and I can't imagine being that with any other person other than BH. Yea, it's hit me.

As for the dinner, hoping to make it better than "just another wedding dinner", we're hoping that all you flers who just can't wait to drink with us to be patient, your summons will come...it's all in the planning. It might be a year later, but as sure as the sun sets in the west, it will come....hehehehehe.
