Wedding Chaos Updates

I've neglected my adventure journal recently. Two months! Goodness. Well, we're starting to get down to the wire on this one. We're just under four months away from our big day. Since my last update, we've secured our date and location. The benefit to getting married on a Tuesday :-)

So, it's official! Franklin Park Conservatory is ours! *gleeful happy dances all around*

I've gotten almost everything else taken care of...and I just want to say that between Flower Factory and Michael's...well, my DIY attitude has equaled in saving a boatload of money. We have a good 85% of the favors ready; I just have to build the boxes and buy the candy. I'm waiting to the last minute to get the candy since we're not personalizing it in any way and I want it to be as fresh as possible. Seriously, I'll probably go to the store and pick up the chocolates the day before the wedding.

The boxes we originally picked were discontinued, when I had only bought half of what we needed. Fortunately, we've improvised, and due to our love of mixmatching, we've ended up with a nice combination that flatters our style and still looks cool in the mix.

My girls are pretty awesome, I can say that, too.

Nate's still struggling with his guys, mainly because neither one of us trusts his best friend to give a good toast. Seriously, the guy greatly dislikes me and I tolerate him only for the sake of Nate. That's really our only little piece of drama as far as the wedding goes.

The caterer is the last thing I need to finalize, and Cameron Mitchell has so many choices that I'm just overwhelmed. At least I'm stressed for a good reason.

I think my last big stress is going to be my centerpieces. I know what I want, I have some of them, but the woman who shoved me out of the way to snatch up literally every single item on the shelf the other day really irked me. I wanted to say something, but I hate being a drama queen in public. I learned young that it's just embarassing.

So...that's really it. We're ordering the invitations next week, complete with reply cards, I have to convince myself to stick to a budget with the caterer, and Nate has to PICK SOME FREAKING GROOMSMEN! Yeah, obsessive, but it needs done.

That's all I have, really. I'm just putting things together a little at a time.
