Dear diary,
Today I am getting married. We have a ancient tradition that we have carried for year. I am so mervous!! I got to choose the month and the date of our wedding. June is the most popular month for marriages because it is the meaning of the godess of marriage name(juno), and I chose to be different and do it in August. They say she will bring prosperity and happiness to everybody that wed in that month but you know I am already happy and I got enough money so i don't care. And another thing in if i get married in june i can have my first child by spring and still have enough time for the fall harvest. And the last thing june is significant because it is in the end of lent and it starts off the first bit of warmer weather. April is another good month but since i was born in April i did not want to get my birthday. But I am just so excited for today. I got a custom made dress made by the town tailor and i didn't even have to pay for it. But i have to go 2 get ready for my wedding!! bye
