WHHAAAA!!! It is less! than! a! month!!! until our freaking wedding. AND AND, in about a month EXACTLY, Matt and I will be on a plane to Hong Kong. holy crap. For the last two weeks or so, every time I need to look at a calendar has caused a small, but increasing panic.
Again, as I say on almost every blog post, I haven't posted in a while, so this is going to be long and unmanageable. If I had like, 3 more hours per day, then I would do this more often. And, now that things are piling up, I am doing more, blogging less. This includes reading wedding blogs as well. Pretty much everything that I need to find "inspiration" for have been decided, so no more excuses for lazy Sunday mornings with coffee and wedding blogs. Dang. I am looking forward to having much, much much more spare time though, after this whole wedding thing is done with. I will have time to read, cook, clean more, update the house, etc.
1 -- One last thing that nobody tells you about wedding-planning is that getting back RSVPs is awesome!! It's so much fun to see your envelopes in the mail, and each has a little mystery -- who is it from? are they coming? bringing a date?? It's sorta like getting Christmas cards, but without the holiday schmaltz. Seriously awesome.
2 -- This Friday, my office threw me a shower! It was a complete surprise, and was super-sweet. It adds to my humility caused by how generous and loving everyone around me is. We had Little Caesar's pizza (one of my many guilty pleasures), soda, and gift-opening in the conference room for lunch, and it was perfect. Even the ruse to keep me away from my desk by scheduling an 11:45 meeting in the plant office was executed perfectly, and nobody complained about my persistent pouting over having lunchtime meetings on a Friday. ha.
3 -- I found out earlier this week that my seamstress is having knee surgery this week, and needed to have me in this weekend. I panicked a little, thinking of who I could have with me to lear n the bustle. luckily, ms jones was available. the dress still fits (yay), is now at the proper length, and, the bust fits amazingly because the seamstress was able to work a miracle with a piece of thread to gather the very top. And, most importantly, the bustle is going to be extreeemely simple! just two loops , one button. thats it. i have heard horror stories about extremely complicated and unwieldy bustles, and i'm incredibly relieved that this one should be just fine.
4 -- Afterwards, steph came over and helped me pick out ceremony music. I was having issues with this before... other than the typical "wedding" songs, my knowledge of orchestral music is kinda limited, and i didnt want to choose something overly trite that has no meaning to me. Although, I think the ceremony music is important at the time, it is something that nobody remembers. We ended up finding some fantastic songs though, and I am super-happy with how it will work out. Now, finding a mother:son / father:daughter dance....
5 -- Saturday, my mom, Matt's mom and I went dress-shopping for them. They both found beautiful dresses! I am really excited for them. We picked out some jewelry as well, and got ties for the groomsmen and Matt, so everyone should be outfitted now. wooo!
6 -- I have table decs figured out, supplies purchased, now just need to assemble them. I will do that as soon as I get done with the ceremony decorations, which are taking for-ever. After this week though, I have 10 days off of work, so I can knock all of that out. After that, I have my pictures project, plus working with vendors to finalize everything, buying jewelry for me, buying wedding rings, and then that should pretty much be it. Things are very quickly wrapping up, it is a little overwhelming.
Soon, soon... it will all be over, and we will be on our way to CHINAAAAAA!!
