S-T-R-E-S-S: 93 Days to Go

Some days you have a hundred things to do and you fly through them with success and tenacity.  Some days you have only a couple things to do but you want to do more.  Some days there's nothing you can do even though there's still a lot to get done. 

And those days might be the most stressful because you realize just how little control you have over many of the elements that go into the day that will ultimately have your name on it.  You look for some meaningful lesson in all the frustration but it's late and there's no real resolution so you hop into a comfortable bed with your fiance and think "well... life could be worse."

To Limo or not to Limo: 94 Days to Go

We've been struggling with the question of whether or not to get a limo for awhile now.  It seems like such a fun idea, and it looks nice in pictures... but...

It's not like we have to get from a ceremony location to a reception.  The only place we would need to get a ride to would be the photographs... and I don't relish the possibility of paying a driver to wait around for a couple hours.  Besides, I'm sure we could spend the $400 or so in a much better way.

So I think this means no limo.  Ah, well. 

Leaf Me Alone: 95 Days to Go

It's 11:30.  Are we in bed?  Nope.  Are we partying hard?  Nope.  What are we doing?  Assembling 100 leaves on strings.

Light Days: 96 Days to Go

Today all we did was practice dancing, pick up dress accessories and jewelry, update the registry and make a map for our out of town guests.

And that is what we'll be calling a "light day." 

A Few Words: 97 Days to Go

Went to Claire's birthday party today, which was adorable.  Lucy remembered what we taught her about being a flower girl.  We also worked on ceremony wording and bought a few supplies for the table signs.  Quite exhausted but also quite happy.

It's in the details: 98 Days to go

Got my wedding purse today, my veil and headpiece yesterday, and the jewelry is waiting to be picked up at the UPS.  The accessories should now be all together.  Super!   

I also managed to entirely forget to do the one wedding thing I slated for myself today - calling the salon to finally book my hair and makeup appointment.  Boh.     

The Big Countdown Begins: 99 Days to go

What do you do with less than 100 days until your wedding?  Something every day, that's for sure.  For the next three months we will be eating, sleeping and breathing wedding.  So we thought we'd update the blog a bit every day from now until then for two reasons.  First, it might be entertaining for people to find out all the crazy things to be done.  And secondly, it'll be helpful for the detectives to put together the pieces when they find we've spontaneously combusted leaving behind only a bit of charred tulle.

So on day 99 we finalized the menu (mmmm tasty tasty fall foods, hope y'all like squash), nearly finalized the schedule, got the ball rolling on decorations, clarified the logistics, continued to cement the inclement weather backup plan and ate cake.  The cake wasn't because of the wedding, but instead due to a friend's recent birthday.  However anything that puts you into a stress-relieving sugar coma quickly becomes an integral part of the wedding planning process.
