7 more days!!

Well this marks the first entry in a soon to be famous blog! Of course i'm kidding, this blog will be no different from the next bloggers entries, we all came to talk or "type" about one thing...LIFE. My name is Richard Trejo and I will probably be the most active person on this blog, but my beautiful wife, or soon to be, will be more than happy to post a blog or two in the near future.
Well here it is already 7 more days til the wedding and to be quite honest It hasn't really hit me yet! Most people have asked "Are you nervous yet?" "Are you sure you're ready for this?" I always am quick to respond to the latter "more than ever", but my response to the first question is more thought provoking. Are you nervous yet? I always say different things according to how i'm feeling that day. Like for instance yesterday I said "I think I'm just more nervous for the day" and the day before that I said "Heck yes!" I thought that by this time in the engagement I would have butterflies or some kind of feeling that a guy gets when he realizes that he is going to have to stand in front hundreds of people, literally I'm Mexican, and watch his fiancee walk that 1/4 mile as slowly as possible while people are crying all around you and you're wondering how am I going to shake the dad's hand soft or hard. If I shake it too hard he's going to think I'm going to be too rough with his daughter or if I shake his hand too soft he's going to think "Oh great my daughter's marrying Richard Simmons! No offense Richard Simmons I have sweated to the oldies on more than one occasion.
Of course, this is only a little bit of the worry. One of my biggest worries is that I hope I can be the husband that my fiancee needs. I hope that I can manage money the way she wants me too or take the trash out RIGHT AWAY! Those things are small, but alot of little things add up to be big things eventually. I don't stress the bigger things because I love my faith and my wife too much to jeopardize anything.
So I guess that in the end the only reason i'm nervous is because of stage fright. Being in front of people is pretty intimidating and especially engaging in a sacrament such as marriage. I know that I won't faint or anything, but the butterflies might prove themselves too mighty. I've been waiting so long for this and finally it's here! I'm ready to marry my best friend and the only reason I liked high school.
I was thinking right now "What would be a good way to end this blog?" To really get everyone interested! I guess if you were to put it into Mortal Kombat terms (best fighting game of all time! arguably.) a fatality with a flawless victory! But in all seriousness, with the ending of a blog comes a quote from a movie that we think is awesome! Today I think I will leave a quote that suits the times.

"I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. A boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say "I do". I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition."
