Three months until the wedding. I don’t know about anyone else, but that seems like it’s a CRAZY figure!
I’m feeling a little bit of a lot of emotions: joy, anxiety, happiness, contentment, nervousness, etc.
What’s making me the most anxious is our laundry list of “to-do’s.
Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about:
- Do the cake deposit
- Do the flower deposit
- Decide on music and readings for the ceremony
- Get the dresses for the rest of the wedding party
- Decide on decorations for the ceremony
- Get the rest of the materials for the wedding favors
- Send out the invitations
- Dress alterations (falls solely on my shoulders J)
- Get shoes for the females
- Finalize catering menu
- Design (and get the priest’s approval) of the program/ print the program
I’m sure there’s more, but I’m not sure what it would be at this point.
I’m very excited that a friend of mine and Matt’s has agreed to play the violin at the wedding. I have often thought about that but thought it may be too expensive. Thank God for friends, right?
On the same token, Thank God for family! A lot of our family members have been helpful in different ways. Whether it’s been emotionally, financially, or even just as a distraction for a while, it’s greatly appreciated. What a great family to be a part of. I can’t even express how lucky we are to have such a great support net.
Three more months and my last name will change, but I truly think that this has helped me get closer with my side of the family as well.
Here’s a question to see if anyone is actually reading this: At a reception, is it better to have more time for people to socialize (amid light background music) or more time for dancing? Please let me know what you think!
