So last night P (the bf) and I had a talk, and ever since we found out about this pregnancy, its been kind of a wake-up call to get our asses more in gear. Since we met each other (summer 2006), we both feel that we have helped each other grow and be better people. We always talked about marriage before. We love each other so much, and he is the coolest guy in the whole world. No matter what we choose to do about this pregnancy, we both want to be prepared whether we choose to keep it; but if we don't keep it, make sure we are well prepared in the future (buying a house, health insurance, and building up sufficient savings) so we'll never be met with this choice again.
P said to me this morning that he wanted to get married by next year for sure, at least by spring. But I hate spring (and summer), so I told him "Why not this winter? We could try and do it in front of the big tree in NYC" I always wanted to get married in the winter, especially around Christmas, because I'm a Christmas Whore and want all the magic that comes with it.
Really, I never really wanted a big wedding (neither did he). Fuck that! I'm so socially awkward when it comes to big events, especially if it would be a big event focused on me. Having to confess my love for someone else in front of a bunch of people, then having them gush all over me, is my personal idea of hell. We could just have a big party one day in the future instead, just to celebrate, without the pressure of planning all the minute details that go into actual weddings. But when it all comes down to it, I just want it done without there being a huge headache, seeing there's already enough on the plate.
So, SW NYC-ers (or anybody else!), thoughts/opinions?
