289.

289 days till we say I do.

So... this is going to sound ridiculously cheesy I am perfectly aware. This whole wedding planning thing has me pretty emotional - well, not necessarily the wedding planning, but the marriage. I mean, we are talking about something that is over 9 months away still. It doesn't seem to matter though, my emotions are on overdrive.

I consider my relationship and Devin to be one of those random coincidences that could have easily become one of those moments that you regret missing, or a "what if" that permanent stays in the back of your head throughout the rest of your life. And I guess that is why this whole getting married thing is such an emotional journey for me. Devin and I had enough thrown at us in the 4 years of our relationship, the fact that we made it through every obstacle to where we are now would be considered astounding for the average relationship. Devin and I are anything but an average relationship though. Everyone that get's married always spouts about how they were born to be together and that it is a destined coupling... and by no means am I belittling their beliefs in it being so - but I guess I just view Devin's and my union as more then that. We have this larger then life love, the type of love that love stories are written from.

I have such overwhelming respect and admiration for Devin and who he is as a person, not to mention the positive influence he has had on my life. And the fact that he has stuck through with me hand in hand through all the BS that has come our way is a true testament of our love for one another.

And now, 4 years later here we are, stronger then we've ever been and I am preparing to become Randi Williams. Our story didn't unfold in a traditional fashion by any means and there were times when it felt like we were just fighting an uphill battle. I can't even express the overflowing happiness and anticipation I feel towards becoming his wife and continuing on this path with one another, buying a home, having a baby, building careers, family vacations, family dinners, growing old with one another. It is a chapter that I am so excited and eager to start. I feel blessed and so thankful that Devin and I came into eachother's life as we did - and even through all the not so great moments it has led to us making the commitment in front of God, our friends, and family.

He truly is the love of my life, the reason for my being, the happy to my ending. The love that will never be topped or conquered for all the days of my life. He saved me. I love him with every fiber of my being.
