Not long now!!

6 weeks to go, which may sound like a long time but judging by how fast the last few months have flown by, it'll come incredibly quickly. Actually it's just over five weeks to the handfasting, but six weeks to the Civil Partnership.

Last week, we went to the registry office to "give notice". Obviously, with me being a computer professional and therefore cursed, the computer was down, so we had to go into the wedding suite and fill out paper forms. Well, the registrar (lovely lady) filled out the forms, we just had to answer lots of questions.

As we had to be separated for the interrogation, and whoever was in the waiting room was listening to an iPod, it was a bit like "Mr & Mrs" - especially since our replies had to match!! At one point I joked to the registrar that it was like "Mr & Mrs" and that I was fully expecting to be asked questions about Tracy's favourite CDs - at which she laughed, waved the paper at me and said "they're on the back!". Altogether it was a slightly nerve-wracking but quite interesting experience, and I came away with a spring in my step and butterflies in my tummy, grinning like a grinning person.

The enormity of what we're doing keeps hitting home. Sometimes I just can't get over what a lucky girl I am to have someone who loves me that much, and who I love that much. Wow.
