Under Pressure

So this past week I was hit with an interesting realization.
(that I can't say that I love, but I get it)

This wedding is turning into something unexpected.
It's kind of starting to feel like it is turning into something that is not really about us any more.

I appreciate where everyone is coming from, there have been some amazingly incredible offers of support from unexpected places, and some equally amazing support from places that I did expect it from.

So thank you for being awesome.

I am not really complaining. In fact I don't think that I am complaining at all.

I think what it is, is that I had this picture in my head of what I expected this day to be like, and I am realizing that it may in fact not be that way.
Which is fine, we can't always get what we want right?
What hit me the hardest was that I was no longer excited about it. I was anxious about making sure we got it right.

Which, frankly, is ridiculous. It's OUR bloody wedding.

So that realization leads me to this statement.

We're doing this our way people. I am happy to accomodate people that I love as much as I can, but I am not going to sweat it if things are not going the way that someone else thinks it should. Unless that person is Geoff.

And already, after deciding that this was what I was going to do, I feel better.

So there.

Sincerely,
The Bride.

hair pieces

I have been checking out the Ban.do website this morning and there are some really cute pieces in there.
Like these guys...



I am still not quite sure what I want to be doing with my head for the Big Day, but I am right now leaning towards something like the first one.
Hair up? Hair down?
Who knows at this point.

It's fun to just think about it right now!
I've got a couple more weeks before I really need to stress out about it!

Accomodations nearby

I went through our local yellow pages and found some B&B's on the lake and in the nearby area.

Please give them a call if you plan to stay over night and don't want to camp out on the back lawn in what we are affectionately referring to what will be Tent City.

We are expecting to be having a silly good time into the night (we'll give the neighbors a heads up!) and you are all of course welcome to stay here (in Tent City, the cabins are both already spoken for) or nearby.
We will be preparing a breakfast for the troopers the following morning. Probably hot muffins and coffee.
And lots of water.

Got to rehydrate you know.

Where have we been??

I am a lax blogger lately. The computer that I work from is STILL in various pieces from the move and even though I am on a computer right now, it is not the one that I use.

Hence the random, month long lag.

Sorry folks!

But since the wedding is now 2 months away (excuse me while I barf) I really need to get back to some sort of routine and get this thing PLANNED ALREADY!

Ahem.
