Wedding Wednesday


This week's wedding Wednesday is INVITES!

They're finally in the mail! A little late but I think that is ok - we aren't inviting many people and everyone I want there has known the date and location FAR before now - so we're solid. The only other issue is, that there may have been one that went out with no stamp on the RSVP card. I feel pretty bad about this, but I guess it is just one mistake I'll have to live with...


These turned out to be WONDERFUL! Just how I wanted them - except Ross had me order envelopes that were huge. Oh well, nothing is perfect, right?! The envelopes were super cute, a perfect green to match! I didn't get inner envelopes, but instead tied the invite cards together with jute - super fun and rustic, just what I'm going for! Hope you like them too - I blotted out the place and time and some of our names, just in case you get any funny ideas about showing up! We really don't have room for you people! It will be tight as is!

A HUGE SHOUT OUT to my friend Amanda - who helped me get these together. She is a lifesaver and designed all of them for me! What a gal!

One Month!



Today is one month from the day that I marry my man! I can't believe it is actually here! I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about the day now so I can't even guess how I will feel on the actual day! I can't wait for our big day when Ross is all mine...forever!

I can't wait to start the next chapter in our story together.

In the next month I know I will have SO much to do but I also want to enjoy this time as much as I can and want to prioritize our time together and not freak out about the little things to him when I start losing my mind near the big day. I am going to try to keep this quote in mind for the next month...and the rest of our lives together. I know that I take Ross for granted every single day. I want to change that starting NOW, because there is no one more important in my life than him, and he should know that I suppose!



So my struggle of the day is, do I let Ross stay home the night before the wedding day, or does he go stay at a hotel? I can't imagine not waking up with him that day and sharing the first moment of our special day together. But it would probably make it that much more special to see him for the first time after I am all done up and ready to walk down the aisle. What about you all...what did you/would you do?

40 Days


40 days and counting.

My stress level is definitely getting high....I am so excited to marry the man of my dreams. I am also really excited for the day after the wedding because this planning will finally.all.be.over! I am definitely feeling the effects of stress, my face which is normally pretty pimple free, is full of be red zits, and my sleep is practically only in 2 hour increments now. Boo.

Phew!
