And today Nick, along with his entire department, lost his job.

Wedding is still on, despite my reservations.

Save the date, children.

October 23, 2010.

No, he didn't propose yet. Yes, we set a date with no "formal contract." Yes, I'm crazy. Yes, I'm planning it already.

I'll let you know when the big thing goes down (proposal, ring etc).

I just figured that if I'm going to get married by the end of the year, I should start planning.

(And I already know I'm getting married. A proposal isn't a surprise.)

I'm getting married for real. I'm more excited about this than I think I will be about the proposal.
