Wedding Woes

Ok, so there really aren't any "woes", but there have been several "WHOA" moments here lately in regards to the wedding.

WHOA - We're working on a final guest list. I understand that this isn't the most fun part of the whole experience, but let me just share my thoughts on this aspect of the planning process: IT STINKS. Seriously, I'd rather just walk around with a bag full of invitations that I could hand out to people when I see them around town, but apparently "Mrs. Manners" forgot to put that technique in her wedding etiquette guide. Tracking down addresses, inputting names and information into spreadsheets, cross referencing my list with Chase's list to create our master list...that we then cross reference with my parents' list and then again with his parents' list - - IT'S EXHAUSTING. Oh well...I believe we're almost finished with it now. THANK GOODNESS.

WHOA - I have a maid of honor! She actually said yes to nine months of what she referred to as "servitude". Talk about a true friend! :P She knows I'd do the same for her. Gotta love that girl.

WHOA - I finished my bridesmaid letters. :) I'm mailing each of my girls a letter and little gift to ask them to be part of the bridal party. It's dang cute...but I'm not sharing the details on here because some of those girls actually read my ramblings.

WHOA - actually, I think this needs a BIG BIG WHOA...
I. BOUGHT. MY. WEDDING. DRESS. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's true. I put the down payment down on the dress of my dreams earlier this week, and I couldn't be happier! It'll be here during the first part of July, and I can't wait to see it again. I really didn't want to take it off (yes, even the floor sample that didn't fit AT ALL was so gorgeous I could have worn it for the rest of my life). WHOA. I'm marrying my best friend in nine months (288 days according to our wedding website). WHOA. WHOA. WHOA.

:) Life. Is. Good.
