T-minus 30 days.

What? How did this happen. Really? 30 days?

I still have a crap load of things to do, including making a slide show, going to see my florist again for a second time to see a new mock up...but first I have to purchase 20 white vases from the pottery place in Dundee...making sure everyone who needs to get a room, gets a stinking room before the rate runs out--TOMORROW PEOPLE! And a few other minor things like write our ceremony, choose all our music, choose where to go on our "mini-moon," finalize our real honeymoon to Europe, make the programs and get my Mom's dress altered to be a whole size smaller since she is apparently the incredible shrinking woman, etc., etc., etc!

I'm super excited and super tired just thinking about it.

Also super exciting, our engagement photos were featured on The Wedding Cabaret blog. Pretty neat!

That's all I got for now.

see ya.

invites...the finale.

...well, here they are in all their glory. We've already gotten a lot of responses back. So far, everyone is a "yes!" A couple people have commented that they really like the invites. I guess they ended up being worth the trouble after all!






We used Strawberry envelopes from Paper Source for both the mailing envelope and the RSVP envelope and the King and Queen postage stamps:

We spent about 6 hours stuffing, stamping and labeling these suckers...(also going to the office supply store a half hour before they closed because the original labels I printed turned out to be hideously over sized. Sean told me they would be too big when I bought them, but did I listen? No. There was no "I told you so." Just a slight sigh and a ride to Staples. When we were finally done and I dropped them off at the post office the next day, I felt a nice sense of freedom. Probably similar to what a prisoner feels like when they get paroled. I dunno, maybe that feels better, but this felt pretty damn good!

TTFN.
