Hey all. I'll try to make a long story short. As a child, my cousin and I promised we'd be each other's maids of honors (we basically lived as sisters until we were 10). But when her family moved 10...

I'm just curious.... I feel so anxious to be married, change my name, and start "married life." Even though I have the ring I can't help but feel like the commitment isn't "real" until the license is...
