"The one with counting down the days..."

For the groom, the most daunting and intimidating predicament that lies in anticipation of matrimony would be hands down the nikah proceedings. Not to be a follower of such popular suit, I am also, by definition gripped by horrifying fear of the said affair. Not that we're not familiar of such things; some prepare months in advance keeping their neurotic emotions subdued, but like a dam that holds the rising tide we're often taken away by our nervousness come that immortal moment.

I can't say that I am prepared for next week. I can't also say that I'm calm for next week. For one, I am a mixture of conundrums; anxious but nervous, scared but excited - feelings reeling a thousand times more, all encased underneath the stretches of my skin. But looking back - this feels right. This feels indefectable, immaculate. This is it. Rewind the clocks back 7 years ago, who would've thought we'd arrive to this absolute climax. We've let our love for each other blossom over the years, and with that learned as much about each other enough to dignify spending the rest of our lives together. Throughout those years, we've been through happiness and angst, blunders and accomplishments - through thick and thin we've stood by supporting each other.

For what it's worth, this is something we've always had in our minds the moment our hearts yearned for each other.

So, looking back to what we've had, and what lies ahead - she's definitely worth all this, but far far, far more.

I love this woman with all my heart, and it is with her only, that I wish to be with for the rest of my life.
