upcoming wedding to dos

1. Pick a florist. I am leaning towards New Leaf, only because it is my next appointment and I don't want to make another appointment.
   
2. Finalize the menu. We set up our meeting with the chef at Will Rogers. He is designing a custom menu for us. Hopefully the tasting goes well. We can make whatever changes we want, so I assume it will go fine.
3. Finalize the cake. We are using Ruth's Sweete Justice who I saw featured on Food Network several times. I love their cakes! They are so beautiful. I just need to have a final tasting and decide on a flavor and design.
4. Order the favors. We've decided on our favors...which will be a surprise so I won't say. But it requires a bit of assembly and multiple orders. I hope everyone likes it.
   

wedding shoes

So I just purchased my wedding shoes. I wasn't sure what to get at first. But then I thought about...no one will see these shoes. It's unlikely at least. But if they do they need to be cute. But I will standing all day, so they need to be comfortable. So after much deliberation I decided I would bite the bullet and purchase....flats. I know what you're thinking. Flats? On your wedding day you should wear heels. They need to be formal and flats aren't formal. But I don't care. I love flats. I wear flats all the time. I love heels too. But they hurt like crap, and I'm slightly clumsy. Michael insisted I get ballet flats, because he didn't want me complaining that my feet hurt all night. If this were an ordinary event where I was standing for two hours at most, then I would go with heels, but this is for my wedding day. I will be running around, completely stressed out, and standing all day. So yes, I did it, I will do it, I will wear ballet flats.

5 months and counting

There are only 5 months left until the wedding, and I'm starting to feel like nothing is done. I think I am getting bogged down with all the wedding details. I can't seem to make any decisions anymore. Cakes, flowers, programs...does any of it really matter? Although I am currently obsessing about whether I should use dahlias or ranunculas and whether the cake should be square or round, will anyone even notice? At the same time this is Michael and I, and we are probably the biggest critics in the world. But the fact that I am overly obsessed with details makes it impossible for me not to nitpick about everything.

Besides that I'm impossibly busy with work, which means that even though it is Sunday I should be working. It's Sunday and I have been feeling guilty that I haven't done any work? How do I finish work and have any time to go back to the baker, schedule an appointment with the florist, figure out entertainment, schedule a tasting for the reception, purchase and assemble the favors...
