We had a 2 hour marathon check-in session with our wedding coordinator, Marcia, on Saturday. At first, I couldn't imagine what we could possibly have to talk about for two whole hours. I mean, we are ahead of the game, just the little details to go at this point.
Boy, were we WRONG!
First of all, thank God for Marcia. She is a veteran, and I honestly don't know how we would be doing this without her. She isn't helping us plan anything, but just serving as a day of coordinator, telling people where to go and when, and who everybody is. She had lists and lists of questions, to dos and items to bring with us both on the wedding day and rehearsal. She got everybody's names, and wanted to know who they were walking with and what song was the cue. She gave us a timeline for the entire day, and even scheduled potty and snack breaks for Mike and I. Wrote down which type of drink we wanted right after the ceremony, and where I would "hide away" on the property while Mike got his pictures done. Seriously. We left this meeting with our heads spinning 100 miles an hour. I went home, sent about 15 emails to all of our vendors to request information for Marcia, and then we went to paper source to brainstorm about how to format our table names and escort cards. I really enjoy that type of thing and so I am looking forward to doing those - especially since we had a lightbulb moment and thought of a cute way to format them!
We are at the two month mark/61 days out. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was in disbelief at the proposal itself - something I waited almost 5 years for! Then, amazement that we were at under 100 days - and now, we are a mere two months away. I have to force myself to SLOW DOWN and remember this time. Even though I am anxious to be married and start that journey together, I know that this is a time that will not be happening again, so I need to open my eyes, keep my head up, look around and enjoy it.
My mom is having a shower for me this weekend, and how's this for hilarious? Emily, Brittney and I all bought the SAME DRESS - Emily and I same exact color - Brittney same print. All in different cities on different days. Luckily we figured it out before showing up at my mom's place.
