Falling Into Place

We are well underway with our plans for our wedding! We had an extremely productive last week and weekend, and with 60 days left in the countdown, we've got an extremely exciting week ahead of us!

Last, last Saturday, May 29th, we received our box of final invitations. They look absolutely incredible! We are super impressed with the outcome and so happy that we were able to incorporate our own originality and creativity into our design. We had originally planned on getting the invitations in the mail a bit earlier than the eight weeks, which is typical for wedding invitations (mainly because we've got quite a few out of town guests), but we really didn't have a choice, and the final product was well worth the wait! In the end, we met the standard deadline and we were able to send our invites out on Tuesday, June 1st.

Then, over this past weekend, Brian and were able to scan in some of our old photos of our younger years. (Note to our future kid(s): If you ever decide to have a digital slide show at your wedding of pictures of your younger years, you are going to have it so easy.) Technically, I suppose in that amount of time there will some sort of advanced technology that our human minds just cannot comprehend right now. There will always be a technological advancement. (Sometimes I need to remind myself.)

We also had the opportunity to create our seating cards. They turned out incredibly, and we had a blast making them! That's all I'm going to say about that! :)

On top of it all, we also had time to create our rehearsal dinner invitations! (They also have turned out awesome! This entire wedding is just going to be unbelievable!) We're working on our wedding program and menu this week. (They will both turn out incredibly. I am very confident!) Once those are complete, we will be off to the print shop and we'll have three more items to check off of our list!
(Like I said, we've had a very productive last week and weekend!)

(And finally, on to this week:)

On Wednesday, I have my first dress fitting. (This is much more exciting for me than it is for Brian!) While I have seen my dress (once) since I bought it, I have not put it on. It will surely be a special moment. AND, in less than one month, my dress will officially be ready for me to wear...as in completely done! That is just a fantastic thought! I am so excited for Brian to see what I've selected. Actually, I am so excited for him to see the entire get up - hair, make-up, dress, flowers... I think he is going to be extremely impressed! He has certainly been quite curious throughout the last few months!

We also have our first shower in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday. Brian's Aunt Kathy, along with some very helpful hands, are hosting a 'Couples Shower' at her house. We are certainly looking forward to seeing our families, friends, and special out of town guests.

I am sure that there will be little things that Brian and I will be able to take care of throughout the week. If you weren't aware, we are both very excited about our upcoming nuptials, and as the time gets closer, the excitement level gets higher. Everything really is ... falling into place.
