I dropped the ball and wrote a regular post yesterday because it was a holiday and it didn't feel like a Monday. Also, because Riley had a birthday and my sister is in town, hurray! So, I've been beyond busy with life stuff.
Done- Booked a cake maker!
- Ordered invitation samples.
- Painstakingly, wrote a draft of the invitation wording.
- Found someone to do henna for the bachelorette party.
- Have confirmed that 3 out of 4 bridesmaids have their shoes.
- I am in the final week of my Bridechilla course
- Bridesmaids dinner on Wednesday!
- Dress fitting for bridesmaids on Thursday.
- Ring shopping
I'm so tired, it's hard to articulate thoughts. I'm excited that we have the whole wedding party in town at once this week. I adore my wedding party beyond words, I really do. They are all beautiful, intelligent women who care about me and have a unique set of talents and experience to bring to the table. I bow to your respective awesomeness, ladies.
I'm wrapping up my wedding planning e-course this week. I'm kind of bummed. I made some friends and felt infinitely more secure in "doing my own thing." I'm going to miss my classmates and a direct line to the "Offbeat Bride" herself. I think I got the most out of the week we covered conflict resolution. There is a serious lack of conflict resolution training amongst wedding resources. I learned a lot about myself that week. It was worth the time and money spent. I'll miss my "me time" Monday nights.
We now have a date, a venue, a caterer, a photographer, a florist, a videographer and a cake maker. We're DIYing our music so no music related professionals are required. I've got a dress in production. We've agreed on a basic design concept for the invitations. The next big hurdles are finding rings and writing the ceremony.
197 days!
Good for you! Tick off the list little by little. That's the way to do it without losing your sanity. Can't wait for the dress and rings!!
