Wedding Brain

I am sitting here, tears streaming down my face, happily staring at a piece of paper that contains the details of what is sure to be one of the most memorable days of my life. My wedding invitations are printed and ready to be mailed out. WOW. It's official, I am inviting those  I hold nearest and dearest to bear witness as Joe and I declare our love and devotion for each other. It is a day I have dreamt about, and now holding the printed invitations in my hand, that  day seems closer than ever. In just three short months I will marry my best friend, the man I love with all my heart, and with whom I shall spend eternity. It still feels like a dream.

Since we aren't Warren Buffet rich, and believe the money is better spent investing in our future, our wedding will not be a lavish affair. There won't be swans, or doves, or ice sculptures, and no one will to throw rose petals or rice at me (because I dislike littering, and wtf common sense).  What there will be is a beautiful ceremony in a gorgeous chapel overlooking the hill country, lots of family, friends, and love, good food, good fun, and some good old fashioned rock and roll.

The wedding being only three months away means I still have a lot left to do, as you can tell by the fact that I am just now sending out the invitations, I got a bit caught up. I am also doing some of the decorations myself, as I want to keep things simple. After looking on Pintrest I found some ideas that suited me and set about making them. Some of the pieces will later hang in our home as a reminder of the love we feel on that day. This sign with our family name will be signed by our guests, and I like to think in 50 years we will look at it and recall the amazing day we got married and all the people there to celebrate with us.



There are still some things left to be done (the vows, and the DRESS!!!!!!), but for the most part everything is set, and all that is left is to sit back and wait. I get more excited each passing day, and the whole experience has brought Joe and I closer together. We are eagerly looking forward to celebrating our love and doing so surrounded by the people we love the most.
