My wedding is 87 days away. Wait, what?! 87 DAYS!!!! Ben & I have been together for such a long time (6 1/2 years) & we have dreamed of this day for so long. Now that it is extremely close (DOUBLE DIGITS!) we find ourselves pinching ourselves. We can't believe it & are SO incredibly excited for the day to arrive! :) (Above you can enjoy a photo flashback... this happens to be from my birthday in 2006. It is one of my favorite pictures of us... we are so little!)
Lately, we have been busy wedding planning (which is hard when you are both working) & it's crazy how no matter how much you do... there is still so much left to do. Lots of little details & finalizing. I am just trying to cherish each moment but I am so ready to be married!
In the past 3 months or so, we have been able to check some things off of our ever large "to-do" list.
- We taste-tested food from ABC Catering for our reception. So many delicious options but I think we've got it narrowed down. :)
- We also got to see the final product of what the tables at our reception will look like. We are in LOVE with the final look! :)
- Rehearsal dinner venue booked
- Wedding hair trial completed. My stylist Traci got the look PERFECTLY & I am SO SO excited wear it on my wedding day. I still need to go back for my make-up trial which I am pretty excited about. :)
- Flower girl dresses arrived. Ben's nieces are SO excited about those dresses! They want to wear them now so badly! :) They will be absolutely adorable on our wedding day! Love them!
This month, we have also been pretty busy. Ben & I started marriage counseling two weeks ago with our pastor. So far it has been very insightful & I am excited to continue to discuss & learn so much. :)
I have also been working on designing/finalizing my wedding invitation wording/font. We are having them printed by my Aunt's printing company. I am SO thankful that she is willing to let us use her company's printers versus ours... hers are of MUCH MUCH higher quality! :)
In the middle of writing this blog, guess what just arrived?!? MY WEDDING GUESTBOOK! :) I spent so many hours working on getting this guestbook just right... and it has TOTALLY paid off! I am so excited for you to see it! :)
Ben & I also signed the lease on our apartment last week. We are SO excited to have our "first home" in place. Finding an apartment was a big worry for me so I am glad that God provided just the right one for us to move into after we get married. :) It makes it so much easier to pick out decorations & furniture when you can picture where you will be living. :)
Finally, Ben & I booked our honeymoon. We will be jetting off to Punta Cana for some sun & relaxation. We are SO incredibly excited! :)
Well, it's off to work I go. Sorry this blog was written so randomly & is semi-spazzy, but I thought I'd write a little catch up blog since it has been so long! Until next time! :)
