Wedding Wednesday

OMG today is 2 months until our wedding day!!!!!!!! That is sooo crazy to me! Where did the time go?!? We started out with a 14 month engagement and now we only have 60 days until the big day!

I have ordered our place cards and our programs this past week, which I have to say stressed me out pretty bad. Wanting to make sure I had enough for everyone but not ordering too much made me go a little mad I do have to say. I tend to overthink things ALOT!  For our place cards we chose to do a picture frame so that they could also take home with them after the event.

As for the programs we decided to go with these:

The paper color will be different along with the color of the design and ribbon. Hopefully they will look spectacular!

I have already ordered our table numbers but found out that the site I ordered the programs has table numbers that can match the program so I might end up buying those too.

Will keep you updated as time gets closer!

Thoughtful Thursday

My thought for the day today is wedding related of course. Why do most guys not care about the details that it takes to plan a wedding? They would be content just to get married in their own living room. Well at least that's what my guy said to me yesterday! Now don't get me wrong I think it is soooo sweet that my man just wants to be with me for the rest of his life and doesn't care how he does it.

But since we are having a wedding and a nice one at that, I just figured that you would want a little bit of a say so. See I was confused when in the beginning you didn't want our colors to be pastels or pink and you wanted me to wear an actual wedding dress, I took that as you wanted some sort of say in the matter. Now 2 months before the wedding you dont want me to ask your opinion on the details.

I will never understand guys no matter how hard I try. So tell me ladies are your guys involved in the planning process and how much are they involved?

You Are My Love

 

This post is dedicated to my one and only love on this Valentine's Day. 

Dear Joey,

A year ago today, you asked me the most important question of my life. A question that I'd been waiting for since we first got together because we knew early on that we were meant to be together. It has now been almost seven years since we first started dating and now I'm counting down the days until we get married. 

We've grown up together through high school and college and I'm proud to say I love you more than ever. You're the kind of man I always wanted to be with and the one I forever want to kiss. You're smart, funny, kind, and of course good looking. I am so lucky to have you  and am looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together.

I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate all the things you do. But the truth is I don't know what I would do without you. So on this Valentine's Day remember you are my love and the one I've always dreamed of.

Wedding Wednesday

Yesterday I was busy at work so I didnt get to do Tisk-Task Tuesday. We have 73 days left and counting! This weekend me and one of my bridesmaids have hair appointments to figure out which styles I want for myself and my bridesmaids. For the bridesmiads I know I want a low bun because there dress has a pretty high neckline and I think it would look really classic. For me Im pretty sure I want an updo since my dress is strapless I think Id like to show off my neck and back.

Here are some pics Im going to take with us on Saturday to try. Which ones do you like best?

These are ideas for bridesmaids

These are ideas for me

Another Wedding Nightmare

So early this morning I work up from my 2nd wedding nightmare!!!!!! Since we only have 79 days now until the big day I think all the little things is whats stressing me out. My nightmare was so vivid the worst part is I could see this happening.

It was our wedding day and we were all at the location getting ready when about 30 minutes before start time I realized that we left all of our wedding essentials at home!!!!!! This includes the aisle runner, guest book, unity candle, flower girl baskets, my hair piece and even our rings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I get someone to go tell Joey that he has to drive home and go get the stuff because we cant have a wedding without it. Well by this time people are already starting to get there and the trip takes about an hour round trip. So its almost already an hour since the ceremony is supposed to start and everyone is wondering whats going on and is ready to leave.

I of course start freaking out and decide since its already gotten off to a bad start to just cancel it and try to have it the next day. Thats when I woke up. Lets just hope this isnt a sign and instead will make sure I really dont forget anything!
