The Countdown is On...

Over the last 16 months, I've been reminded time and time again of just how little I actually know about wedding planning. I now firmly believe that any engagement ring should come with a copy of the book "Wedding Planning for Dummies". Yes... that book exists. Ask me how I know.

Throughout this entire process, I've been asked about things I had never even thought about, picked out things I never knew I wanted, and spent money on things I didn't even know existed. The planning has been long. It's been (mostly) fun. And... it's almost DONE!

We're just under two months out now. Don't ask me how many days that is... I don't want to know. All I know is that the time is flying by! We're down to the nitty gritty now... the details, the RSVPs, the timeline, the confirmations, and the logistics. All of the things I am NO good at. Thankfully, Steve is the King of Detail and has enough patience for the both of us. He has been very good about picking up the pieces I just can't seem to keep a handle on. We make a pretty good team.

Scratch that... We make a GREAT team!!

I've also been trying my best to remember that this day is about so much more than the dress, the flowers, the invitations, and the cake. It is about us. It is about our family and friends coming together to celebrate with us. That is what I am looking forward to the most. That's what means the most to me... family and friends.

The next couple of months are going to be a bit of a blur. I'm working a TON, and we have a looooong list of things that still need to get done. But... we'll make it.

I can't wait!!

For Melissa Jo...

Ask, and you shall receive... a little late.
