Wednesday was a very productive day for me wedding wise! I tackled a bunch of different tasks and I am feeling good about what was accomplished! The reception hall is paid for and ready to go! Lay out has been looked at and I am planning to make minor adjustments, but it should be easy to fix. I also got some big news yesterday! A magazine editor/designer was talking with my wedding decorator and LOVES my colors and style of wedding and wants to photograph it for their magazine!! I don't really know what that will all entail, but I gave my permission and am excited to see what comes of it! Our wedding is going to be so beautiful and I cannot wait for everyone to see all the hard work that has gone into it!
With the reception hall ready (except for the seating assignments), I feel like I have a ton of weight off of my shoulders and it allowed me to really get some other things done yesterday.. I followed up with men's warehouse and made sure all the tux have been ordered (all had except for 2), called a videographer and received pricing information, finished up my wedding shower thank yous, and I rearranged my cupboards while drinking a glass of wine(that is when the water bottle incident took place). I have a little problem though… I thought I had a party bus lined up, but now I don’t so I am back to square one on that! I think I can get something figured out though!
Tonight I am very pumped because my in-laws are coming for dinner and they are so much fun to hang out with! We are grilling steak and having a giant salad and cheesy tortillas! Should be a GREAT meal! My future mother-in-law and I are back to normal and it is so wonderful! She is one of my favorite people on the planet and I was missing her! I feel so lucky in life because I have pretty much always had a great relationship with my mom and I don’t think that will every change and now I have Cindy in my life and between the two of them I always have someone that supports and loves me and I am very grateful for that!
So, for something a little different I asked Cary to write me up a little passage about his view on the wedding preparations etc, so I am going to insert that below:
***Well, I am actually one of the lucky grooms-to-be that hasn’t had to do a lot. Guess you could say that I have a great Fiance. What I have helped with has actually been fun. I have helped with favors. Helped make some, albeit not many, decisions. Helped with some of the last details. Kept the mood rather light. Additionally, done all the tux stuff and grooms gifts no problem. But will say that it is always something. Always. One thing that I would say is that I have encountered a tremendous amount of stress indirectly. I have seen more days where something very minor has caused Lexi to stress a little bit. As a result, I guess a small portion of “bride-zilla” has come up. But for her…it is all worth it. I know that I will be surprised on the Wedding Day, but know that often times it seems way too much has gone into it…but again, she is worth it.***
I know all you women out there are officially jealous of the awesome guy I somehow got to fall in love with me.. trust me, I know I am lucky and I thank God for him every single day! I asked him to write something for me and he didn’t even protest he said ”sure, I can do that” and I had it with in a half hour J I didn’t like reading that I have had bride-zilla moments.. but it’s probably true.. weddings are stressful! They are also a ton of fun and I can’t wait for it to be here, but will be sad when it’s over!
