Oct. 4, 2008

So, after a couple months of relaxing, breathing, and generally not doing anything other than telling people that we’re getting married on October 4th, we’ve once again put our noses to the grindstone.  Realizing that the wedding is in less than two months is a little scary and a little exciting, and an effective flame under our bottoms to get us back to work.

That said, things are progressing nicely.  We received our invitations today, and they look great.  We’ll likely start addressing those and sending them out as soon as we can.  You know, like, today.  We met with Lynne (who did our invitations for us and is our “wedding coordinator”) and ordered useful things like our toasting flutes, boxes to put favors in, ribbons to decorate the boxes, brads to hold the ribbons on the boxes (some assembly required…yikes!  And we don’t even know for sure what we’re going to PUT in these nifty little boxes!), table labels, and a wish book and cards to go in it.  Later today we’re going to HyVee to figure out flowers, so that’s good.

The guys have all gone in for the tux fitting, as far as I know, and they look like they should be pretty nice.  I think Dad has decided what he’s going to wear, after much debate.  Mom has her dress, and it sounds like it’ll be very nice.  As far as I know, all the bridesmaids have their dresses, and are looking at getting something warm to go over them, if they so desire.  I’ve had my Dress since mid May, and I’m going in to have it altered on 9/6.

I should probably try it on before then >_<;;
