One Week To Go!

Wow. I really can't believe it's almost here. I'm such a mix of excitement and panic that my emotions are like a rollercoaster ride.

This time next Sunday I'll be married. I'll be someone's wife. I can't wait for it to come, and at the same time I'm nervous. It's hard to pin point exactly why I feel this way. It could be because I feel nervous when making any big change in my life, and as far as life-changing decisions, this is a huge one!

I am so excited though for this new adventure and chapter in our lives together. I really can't wait until the day is here and we are husband and wife.

Alec's ring arrived - I just love it. It's platinum and has some gorgeous facets in it.

My mum and I stayed up late on Xmas eve making the programs. They took foreeeeeever. I really hope people actually read them and like them after all the effort!

 

 

3 Weeks To Go!

Now I'm counting down in days till the wedding (21!!), it's getting really close and making me a bit highly-strung. Not panicky, but just aware of how much I still have left to do. With Christmas just around the corner, it really puts on the pressure to finish everything quickly. What's getting really tough is I have a similar situation at work with things going a bit nuts pre-Christmas, so my biggest challenge is balancing work and wedding planning. Trying to care about work with my wedding just three weeks away is proving completely impossible.

We had a wonderful wedding tasting lunch yesterday which made me realise that the main things are taken care of, and even if I don't get to the rest of the things on our list, it will still be a fabulous day.

We have our engagement photos being taken on Tuesday with the wuffs - I'm so excited about that as I have very few good photos with us and the girls in them. If they can't be in our wedding, they can be present through beautiful photographs.

2 Months Till We Get Married!

I'm both excited and freaked out to realise I only have eight weeks exactly, today, to finish planning the wedding. I'm even more exciting that in exactly eight weeks Alec and I will be married. I'm excited about that thought more than anything else.

On the organisational side, I'm pretty pretty prepared.

Here is what I've got left to do:

• Lock in flowers for table decorations (have a trial this Sat)
• Lock in final menu and wine (have testing booked in)
• Place cards (waiting on RSVPs)
• Order of ceremony - design and print
• Menus - design and print
• Table place settings sign - design and print
• Table numbers - photograph, design and print - also buy stands or frames
• Table seating arrangements - waiting on RSVPs
• Buy jewellery - hair etc
• Buy gifts for bridesmaids
• Order ring (waiting for exchange rate to go back up)
• Choose string music
• Finalise ceremony & vows
• Choose ipod music
• Borrow guitar

When I write it down it still seems like a lot to do! *Panics!*

Feeling Completely Overwhelmed

I had a slight panic attack today and felt completely overwhelmed by all of the organising I have to get done in only a few short months. I'm taking deep breaths and reminding myself that the important things are already taken care of: groom, venue, photographer. Surely the rest will all fall into place!
