Up, Up, and Away

This is it.  6 days to go.  I can't believe the wedding is almost here.  On one hand it feels like time has flown by and it was just yesterday that we got engaged, on the other hand this feels like it has been a really long time coming.  You'd think after having been together for 10 years we would have known exactly what we wanted for every aspect of the wedding, nope.  I was never the little girl who planned her dream wedding while she grew, I am however the girl who has planned my marriage.  I am glad that Mitchell and I have waited as long as we have because I know for sure that we have what it takes to make it.  We will be Carl and Ellie sitting in our mismatched chairs growing old together no matter what (go watch UP if you didn't get that).

I am determined that we will not become a statistic, not that there is anything wrong with divorce, for some people it is the right path.  I, however, am stubborn and usually get what I want.  And I want my happily every after (good times and bad).  I want the every day life with Mitchell that we have always had but still managing to grow and change together.

I can't wait til Saturday, not because of the party, but because it means that we get to start the next phase of our lives together.

Only 12 Days to Go!

This is it, less than 2 weeks to go. We've been working on our seating arrangement, worst part of planning! We're also on wedding "diet" and exercise plan, also not my favorite part.

However as the wedding gets closer we've abandoned certain aspects of the planning/wedding, they seem unimportant compared to other things. I've been working on my vows which is nerve racking! Mitchell finished his ages ago, not a procrastinator that one.

See everyone soon!

I Can See The Finish Line

This is it, less than a month to go. Everything is in place, we're just tying up loose ends and putting together the final details.

I am finishing up our cake toppers, which of course I put off until the last minute, but so far I think they look pretty good.

I've had my final dress fitting, the dress is awesome. I'm in the process of shopping for hair adornments, specifically a comb or clip for after the veil comes off. If you know anywhere I should look please let me know.

Other than that we just need to write our vows and learn to dance, but it may be too late for that.

Time is Flying

Ahhhh, less than 2 months til W-Day!  I can't believe its almost here!  Where did the time go?

Well the good news is that we're pretty much on top of things.  All of our vendors are booked (just put a deposit on the cake), and we're compiling our song lists and photo "must haves" list.  Now its on to the vows, bar and rehearsal dinner. 

The RSVP's have been rolling in, so kudos to those of you who have sent yours, to those of you who haven't please make sure you do!  Lol, otherwise you'll have to sit outside, just kidding....maybe.  I can't wait to start our seating arrangements, dorky, but true.

Well I better get to work on ordering things and making my cake topper. 

Its the little things

This was a big wedding week for us.  I had ordered a lot of things online for the wedding, and they all arrived!  We now have our guest books, all the pieces for our favors, I picked up my veil, had my hair trial, and started receiving RSVPs.  Our last batch of invitations should go out this weekend (we had to do phases, very labor intensive).  

Now its time to put together favors (Alli, lol).  I need to finish the cake toppers.  Projects, projects, projects.  It's all the little touches that are going to make this wedding "us" and special.  Just have to remember that as I work on them.  Good/Bad news is Mitchell will be out of town for 2 weeks, which is sad and lonely for me, but good time to get these done.

Finish Line

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted, the holidays were crazy and now we're in high gear with wedding planning.

We're under the 80 day mark now and things are starting to get hectic.  The invitations are done and ready to be sent out.  We're working on the favors, programs and little details now.  The bridesmaids all have their shoes and we're ordering jewelry, I'm ordering my jewelry soon  Mitchell and I have picked out wedding bands.  Things are coming together.

I can't wait for March 31st, then we get to have a party and go on a cruise. 

Long over due update

I am a negligent blogger.  I apologize.

But on to business.  I have finally update my wedding website, not by much, just our photo link and bridal party.  I just ordered our wedding invites, how stressful.  The pressure to pick what people will like and stay true to what you like is crazy.  I did end up picking the one I liked best (Mitchell too), with the encouragement and help from Melissa, THANK YOU!  And Lauren, Rachel and my mom helped with the opinion process too, thanks ladies.  I should get the digital proof soon, then the actuals and out they go.

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday we got the boys fitted for tuxes and ordered them.  I found flower girl dresses with help from Mom.  Also we are knee deep in mason jars and still collecting.  We chose our menu, the tasting was excellent.  We got together with Chat, our florist and friend, and put together mock centerpieces.  And we've chosen dates for pre-wedding events (bachelorete party and 2 showers...busy girls).

Those are the highlights for now, and here's to hoping I start updating more regularly.
