..:82 More Days:..

82 more days until our wedding! So exciting. It's becoming more and more real now that I am crossing things off my to do list. Hon and I are working on seating charts today. Lia and I are making plans for Chicago. And things are adding up quick!

I can't wait to make my centerpieces. Funny thing or should I say sad thing is, according to Hon and probably a million other grooms, "No one is going to remember the centerpieces." It must to be a GIRL thing or maybe just a BRIDE thing. I remember them from my sister's wedding (I helped made them) but not at the previous wedding in Oct. However, I can't make mine too big because it is recommended to have small centerpieces for Family Style dinners. But I love this and I have shared with my sister. I will have Red Lilies, White Hydrangeas, Baby Breath and fillers are the bottom and branches on top. And of course seashells spread around it.

One thing I learned so far already and have to admit I made a mistake on.... because I followed the "normal" timeline. I got my dress altered TOO EARLY. I should have waited til early June to get it altered. I say this because it only took two weeks to get it done. She has to take in the hips, hem the dress and ease the top. Now I can't slim down anymore because I don't want to have to take it in again. :( Good thing the HM is not til Aug so I can still slim down a bit. But I still love LOVE the dress. I look at it sometimes and think "I spent too much money on it." I start to feel so guilty! I'm so THANKFUL that Hon is okay about it.


I have a confession to make. I have been spending more time couponing than wedding planning! Booo (at me). I hope this doesn't kick me in the butt when June comes. I am quite confident because the Profile does much of the set up.... :) He has been really good about my couponing. I'm sure he'd rather have me stop completely and focus on the wedding... but I am having a hard time letting go. I am just (trying) to only get the really good deals! Plus, I am not spending extra money on on q's.. Look at me trying to justify my hoarding ways!
Remember to RSVP if you haven't yet!
