So the ring is on the finger, the date is set, we’ve bought favors and made plans. We’ve started combining finances, I’ve practiced my new signature, I’ve already started referring to his family as my in-laws. But it wasn’t until yesterday that I made it official.
Yesterday, I combined our CDs. I didn’t write my name on all of mine, or split them out "his" and "hers." I mixed them all up. Now there are a few that are pretty clearly mine (Jewel, Sarah McLachlan), and a few that are definitely his (some band called Unkle??), but there are some that eventually we won’t be able to sort out into ones he bought and ones I bought. Also, I gave my sister all the ones we had duplicates of – the Led Zeppelin boxed set, a couple of Dylan albums.
I think it’s getting serious.
There\’s no turning back now. 🙂
