Royal Wedding

I have been up since 4:00 am to watch the Royal Wedding! I'm glad I was able to watch such an exciting, and global event- live -while planning our wedding! 2 weeks, and 3 months from today, Greg and I will also be saying I do. 105 days.

Greg did not understand the fuss over the royal wedding. I had to explain it to him. He sent me a text message about 15 minutes into the ceremony that said, "Do you think they're having a Friday wedding because they got a Friday discount on Westminster Abbey?" Oh boy...no. I don't think they got a discount. But, I do think Friday weddings are what the cool kids are doing. Not bias. =)

In the past few days, I've printed half of the wedding invitations. And I've addressed all the envelopes. I was nervous about writing them myself, but I think they turned out okay!

And I had to add a picture...ironically similar. =)

Crunch Time

Sorry for the lack of updates lately! It seems as though we hit a dry patch in planning where the big things were done and it was too early for the little things. Well...with a little over 3 months to go, it is starting to feel like crunch time. Greg and I have so much to do and very little time together because of work and school schedules, not to mention the long distance relationship we are constantly battling.
We've officially bought all the paper and ink for the invitations. Now we just need to find a good day to sit and watch them print. We keep hoping to do them together, but it's hard to find mutual days off. We also bought stuff for the favors that we will eventually have to assemble, but we have some time for that.
Coming up at the beginning of May, we have appointments with Windows and with our bakery to go over final details. I'm pretty sure we'll have to meet with the photographer again soon, and definitely the DJ.
May 13 I go for my first dress fitting!! I have most of my accessories ready to go, but I better buy my Spanx before then! The BM dresses are also due to come in the next 2-3 weeks.
We had our last meeting with Deacon Rich last weekend, and only have to meet with him again to go over planning the ceremony. I'm still waiting to here from the organist about music, but hopefully that happens soon so we can get the programs going. We also have to finalize decisions about readers for the ceremony.
My MOH is planning a shower for July, and my MIL is planning a shower for June!! So exciting! This past Sunday was exactly 1 year since Greg proposed, and this year has flown! I can only imagine how fast the next few months will be! Only 108 days to go!!

Oh my, and I almost forgot! One of the most exciting things we've done...we hired a videographer! He is an Otterbein student as well, and he did my co-workers wedding on New Year's Eve and did a fabulous job! We are so excited to have our big day on video! =)
