So. Much. Progress.

The world of work is awaiting my presence, but for right now, I would simply like to take this moment to appreciate all that has been accomplished in terms of moving forward with the wedding plans.

Photographer we love? BOOKED!
Beautiful wedding dress in my possession? YES!
Wedding shoes in hand? DONE!
Cute and clever cocktail napkins? HERE!

The photographer was a little more than I had anticipated. Doesn't that ring true for just about everything?

The dress, though..... oh my heavens. I could not be happier. My two beautiful cousins accompanied me to the boutique and helped me pick out dresses to try on, and I tried on a selection but found nothing that was quite right. And then, AND THEN, the owner of the salon had me try on one that fit the bill. I cried a little. My cousins ohhed and ahhed, appropriately and supportively. I bought the dress that very day and drove it home! Of course it had to travel with me to a race before we could make it to home, but we finally made it. We've already had an adventure together, me and my beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, happy wedding dress. I can't wait for Patrick to see it. He will be wowed, which is, of course, the much desired result. Such success! Now to have it fitted and to have my grandma's pearls restrung. I think they will look nice together. So happy!

We have to do save the dates, and we have to do them LIKE NOW! But first we have to finalize the guest list, which seems to be the most difficult of all. We've not yet secured the caterer but that is because I'm not super pleased with the menu although the flavor of their food is divine. I just don't want a sit-down, and it seems that we are going round about that. We shall see how it works out. I might change course all together and go with a different caterer, but this one was one that we know for certain we liked. A little pricey, and a little non-flexible, but..... we will see.

Must work now! Time is of the essence!
