4 Months to Go!

120 days left! Oh my! May 23, 2009: here we come!

My goal in the wedding planning process was to ENJOY! and to be done planning with 2 months to spare. So, essentially, I have 60 days left. Can we feel the stress? Nah...

Let the serenity descend upon me:

budget...

Programs
Ask family and friends to do readings, solo, gift table, candle lighting, guest

Finish table runner project
Put sails on 100 miniature sailboats
Assist future in-laws with rehearsal dinner specifics, invites, etc
Procure rope and ribbon for cake and cake table
Ceremony music
Pre-marital counseling starts Feb 17
Setting check on my e-ring. Have band sized to match

I created my programs myself. It was a lot easier then I thought and saved me 150 dollars!

I found your blog through From The Land Of Cotton. I am going to school for my RN degree and working in the NICU is one of the departmens I have wanted to work in! I'm glad to hear that you like it =]

No stress at all...It'll be fun! Ok, maybe I know better than that since I did everything for my wedding myself, but it was definitely worth it. I was stressed, and I didn't think I'd get it done, but in the end no one knew any better and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Can't wait to hear how it all goes!

I totally feel you. I feel like I am in detail overload right now. Between DIY projects and all the other things I have to get done...I sometimes wish that the wedding was over and done with. The tv shows make planning a wedding so easy.
