When I started this blog 225 days ago, I really thought my project would drag on and on. Yet here we are, 25 days away from the wedding and it seems like time has flown by.
When I was in college, and complaining to my parents about how long it was taking me to finish (granted, I did it in the standard four years), my dad, being the math major he is, would break it down for me. So in the middle of my senior year, when I was dreading my thirty-page thesis paper, along with the other fifteen credits I was taking, he informed me that I was almost seven-eighths (7/8) of the way done with school. That seems like such progress!
Today marks the completion of nine-tenths (9/10) of my blog entries. This has been such a near and dear (yet aggravating and annoying at the same time) project to me. I can't wait to look back on this and share my planning experience with my kids.
Since I haven't shared much of my recent projects with you lately, I'll give you the rundown on what I CAN tell you.
1. My programs are done. Completely. Like, put away, not to be taken out again until June 25th.
2. I am currently working on our ceremony wording. Our pastor gave me the script he used at a recent wedding, so I've been changing a few things and adding special "us" touches. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
3. Final payments to our vendors are coming due. This is both exciting and stressful at the same time. I can say I am another step closer to my cake, and another step toward bankruptcy at the same time.
4. I have finally ordered everything that has to do with my wedding day attire. Once I get all the shipments in, I won't be able to wait to try it all on together!
5. I need to finish up my bridesmaids' gifts. I have just two things left to do and then they are completely done. Then I need to hide them because two of my girls are staying with me before the wedding!
6. I made, and then my mom re-made, a cute little pomander for our flowergirl/niece, Ever, to carry for the wedding. I will post about that later this week.
7. Only little details are left to do. Signs, favors (ok, not really little), escort cards, guest book, etc.
8. We're seven days away from our RSVP deadline. And I have almost half of my guest list still unaccounted for. Here's my little rant: "There's a stamp on the return envelope for a reason. I paid 44 cents to have you return a card to me. All you do is write your name and check yes or no. Simple as that." End rant.
Well, that's about it for now. Is there any detail you'd like to see a sneak peek of? Something I haven't talked about that you'd like to hear about? Tell me your thoughts!
