It's the Final Countdown!

I'm still chugging along here in the real world, trying to get everything finished, all the last minute things tied up, and all the decisions made!  The to-do list still looks fairly long, but it really doesn't feel like there is much left that has to be done.  In fact, my current list reads something like:

  • Table assignments
  • Make escort cards
  • Make and print programs
  • Finish ribbon wands
  • Fix the table numbers 
  • Send last info to venue
  • Get ties/socks for dudes
  • Make and freeze cookie dough (bake day or two before)
  • Write vows
  • Discuss videographer - if we want friends to help out
  • Get Dino to pick a reader for our second reading
  • Buy candle holders
  • Finish alterations
  • Pick final music selections
  • Make and print final timelines for everyone
And that's about it!  Mostly little things, stuff that won't take too long to do, it is just the carving out time to actually sit down and do it that seems to be the problem!

It really is amazing how time just keeps ticking along!  It feels like I was just thinking about getting everything done early, and now it's past early - we just have to get everything done!  

Yesterday we attended the first wedding this summer - it was gorgeous.  The weather was beautiful, the setting was amazing, and the people were so in love and fantastic.  I teared up during the vows, to hear them say "take you as my lawfully wedded husband" and "the future father of my children" - wow.  It just hit me so hard!  I'm so so happy for them, and glad we could join in the merriment and excitement of the day.  

And next weekend we get to travel for another wedding, which should be an adventure as well!  But before that, I'm hoping to check off at least 5 or 6 items off that list this week...  Yikes!
