Entry 11

I am a happy, happy woman! Well, I've already told you about my engagement and then what happened after was just marvelous. I mean, yes, we did decide to buy the beautiful house and we absolutely love the lot we picked out. But what I'm talking about is the amazing lovemaking between two people so connected, so in love! And Jon is such a magnificent lover... I would go into detail, but just thinking about it makes my body flush hot... whew!

Well, once we got dressed <giggle>, we ended up going to see Jon's mother to tell her the good news. You'd think she won the lottery, she was so excited. Of course she immediately started talking about an engagement party. Can you imagine, yet another party! I'm so worried it's going to be extravagant and I just don't see the need for that. Besides, I have nothing to wear! Alaria's friends are so fashionable and so beautiful that I just feel like a ragmop around them. But she is determined and Jon has promised to keep an eye on her, make her keep it simple. We'll have to see, I'll let you know.

Oh no, I have to run to see Madame Vue... she's going to design an wedding dress just for me! Isn't that lovely? So I'll be back soon.

Well, I must say that was interesting. I think I've shocked Madame Vue! Is that possible? Anyway, I got there and she's talking about the engagement party, going on and on about how Alaria is going to have a dress made and so now I have to have something even more beautiful made! Is she kidding? I can't imagine having a dress designed and hand-made for a party! Let alone what is supposed to be a simple party in Alaria's backyard. I'm going to have words with Jon, make sure he gets his mother on track with this thing. I cannot compete with Alaria's beauty and I'm not going to compete with her wardrobe!

Anyway, Madame Vue showed me several sketches she had made of wedding dresses. They were lovely sketches, but none of them looked like me! I mean, they had high necks and lots of ruffles or lace and that is nothing like me. I'm not lacy and I'm not a prude... besides, Jon likes my breasts and I want to show them off for him. So when I told her that, she started muttering something and took notes, then shooed me from the shop. I have no idea what she's going to come up with, but I hope it's beautiful! This has got to be the most memorable day of my life... I'm going to see to it!

With great fondness,
Samantha
