I Need A Staycation!


Or at least a few days off from work/life to dedicate to wedding planning. Our apartment looks like a bomb went off right dead smack in the center of it. We have shower gifts, some attendant gifts and reception items scattered everywhere! We even have a stack of boxes that runs the entire height of the wall and up and over our dining room hutch. I can't think anymore. I always used to watch wedding shows and see how that happened to people but I never thought that we'd actually be those people...

It's an exciting time but there's just too much to do. We're getting married this Saturday in Connecticut and we still have to finalize our vows. Sprinkle in a few other tasks - makeup trial Thursday night, cake tasting Friday afternoon, finalizing the guest list and laundry, packing for CT and our nephews high school graduation tomorrow and there's just no time for anything else. We have to get our shower thank yous out. Where's the time for that?

It amazes me how every other girl manages to get it all done. It should be easier for us...we're two girls and we have awesome planners. I guess I just need to take a deep breath and run on adrenaline.

Shower Surprise!


So yesterday we had our bridal shower! We were really surprised...we thought that we were going to a birthday party celebration on a boat but instead we were led inside a restaurant chock full of our dearest friends and family. What a day! We had an amazing time and we were really touched by how many people came out to celebrate with us. We know we're such a lucky couple to have such wonderful people in our lives.

A lot of the party is a blur...everything happened so fast! I'm just hoping that pictures come flowing in from everyone that was flashing away during the party. Our cameras didn't come out until the post bridal shower shenanigans. I'm pretty sure our shower ended up turning into a bachelorette party of sorts! :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
