wedding mania

This month of wedding planning has been fabulous, hard, wonderful, busy, stressful and fun.  Sometimes all at once, other times, all separately.  Right now, I'm mostly feeling stressed out and really, extremely overwhelmed.  I had no idea how much actually went into planning a wedding before I went and decided to plan my own.  Oh, what I would give to be able to afford a wedding planner... someone I can bounce an idea off and they know exactly how to run with it and make into something beautiful, creative and affordable.  Instead, I have Justin who stares this blank stare with absolutely no recognition on his face at all.  Almost comatose.  God knows I love him, though. 

This is what's on the agenda this month:

Invitations - we finally got them in and now I have to dedicate three consecutive nights of my life to addressing them in beautiful penmanship I just don't have.  Along the road somewhere, I lost my perfect teacher handwriting and it turned into chicken scratch.  Sorry in advance if your invitation looks as though a third grader wrote it!
Sneak peek of our invitations... they are absolutely beautiful, just what I (we) wanted.  Too bad they involve assembly!



Bridal party/groomsmen gifts - All the girls are taken care of and I got a little present for myself! I can't wait for this baby to be in pictures... they are going to be adorable.  I know our photographer, Annie, will take gorgeous pictures of us girls with these hangers...  Now, I need Justin to light a fire and buy his groomsmen gifts. Chop, chop!
I also have a special something for the plates at the reception that we need printed, we need to order our lanterns and twinkle lights, get the boys fitted for their tuxes, oh, and breathe.

Who would have known it would be this much work to become....
