More wedding stuff

Everyone at work has been asking if I’m nervous/stressed out/freaking out yet. It’s amazing how answering this question 40 times in a day will actually make you become nervous/stressed/freaking even if you weren’t already.

I spent one day this week wrapped up in freaking out-ness with women in the office because they wanted to talk about nail polish and shoes all afternoon, but I finally got my head back. I bought some pretty nail polish on my own and am sticking to the barefoot at wedding plan, if it really is too cold I’ll have my black Birkenstocks, they will look fine. I told everyone in the office I don’t want to talk about shoes anymore.

So I feel great about the wedding, I’m excited and things are coming together nicely. Michael and I have completed pretty much all the things on my list of things to do before the wedding.

  • Reservations for dinner at the Savage River Lodge on Saturday placed for 11 people
  • Ordered small carrot cake to have after the ceremony from Dutch Oven Bakery and will pick it up Saturday morning before going to MD
  • Haircut
  • Carpool out to MD arranged (thanks for being a driver !)
  • Wrote programs for guests (still need to get them all printed)
  • Printed beer bottle labels for celebration ale
  • Confirmed number of guests with castle owners so everyone gets breakfast
  • Finalized all details of the ceremony with our Reverend
  • Confirmed that Nita’s dress came in (phew!)
  • Decided upon a hairstyle – very simple normal me with a jewel-studded barrette

We decided to drop Caligula off at Michael’s mothers on Friday rather than waiting to do it right before our honeymoon – one less thing to do Sunday night. I am getting out of work a little early tomorrow to get my nails done and head to the mall for a cake topper (it was just decided by Nita and myself this weekend that we’d have a cake at the ceremony). We’ll need to pack too, which will be a chore since there are a lot of delicate items we’re bringing along for the ceremony.

This is going to be great.
