Wedding Mayhem


We are less than 4 months away people. And let me tell you I am working hard on getting things checked off my list. It's crazy how motivated I was when we just had got engaged back in December. People were commenting that I was starting so early and that I wouldn't have anything to do for the remaining time. Well the holidays came and we got busy...with I'm not exactly sure what, then we changed plans a bit and now I have this sudden feeling that we are behind!

So I started making calls and getting us scheduled. First, engagement pictures. Yes, engagement pictures 4 months before your wedding I know crazy! We had them yesterday. It was actually good weather and nice to be outside for a bit. If I said it was "fun" that might be a stretch. Better than expected?...definitely! Worth it? We'll see. I know that I'm not the most photogenic person in the world...so we've got that going for us.

Next up is actually sampling what we would be serving for food. The caterer has been bugging us for months to get in and do this. That's tomorrow...I'll let you know how that goes. But I fail to see the downside of yummy free Hawaiian BBQ.

The venue people have gone through a reorganization of sorts that kinda freaked me out so we need to go back there and explain everything again...I'm not really looking forward to that.

Oh and the other "minor" details that I keep forgetting are finding someone to marry us, flowers and invitations....minor, right???

I guess where I'm at is that before it was just researching options not really making any final decisions...and I guess that was fun. Now it's nailing everything down and making the final say. Yikes!

But I did find some uber-cute wedding shoes I am sooo excited for! They should come in the mail here soon...I'll let you know how that works out, that is if you care :)

I'm available for whatever you need. And hey, if you've got the shoes worked out that's a huge bonus in my book. I bought THREE different pairs (2 of which the week of the wedding...ridiculous) and I still wasn't thrilled with what I got. I agree, the fun is in the options, less in the nailing. Keep it up and let me know if I can help!
