Wedding planning

I must apologize if my posting is sporadic from here on out -- as you can see from my profile, our wedding date is coming up in less than (gulp) seven weeks. I will be away from home for nearly two of those weeks, since my older brother and my older cousin are both getting married this fall, too (a week apart, in different locations halfway across the country, of course). There is a lot to squeeze in between now and then! I will try to share some of the wedding fever, though.

Not to worry -- my wedding gown is assembled and just the finishing details remain! I plan to have it all done, except for some embellishments, by next Thursday. Boy oh boy, will that be a thrilling feeling!

That's so exciting!! Best of luck getting everything finished up... Remember to leave time to eat (at the reception, or before the ceremony if you can stomach it!) and most of all to relax and enjoy the day!!
Blessings,
Mackenzie from S&S

Oh, I meant to add...if you have time could you share details about your future home? It would be so fun to hear about kitchen colors and that sort of thing...will you continue this blog once you're married?

I am so very excited for you! Oh, Tilly's comment reminded me: make sure you have someone pack a basket of food for AFTER the wedding, as well (and have them put it in your going-away car, too). That way you don't have to think about preparing something (if you even have anything to prepare) or going out to get something to eat, when all you want to do is be with your new husband. For my husband and me, hunger struck after the reception, when we had time to actually sit down!

Congratulations on having your wedding dress almost complete! I hope the rest of your wedding preparations go smoothly, as well. Your wedding is going to be just lovely, I know!

Yours in Christ,
Shannon

Thanks for the tips! I definitely plan on asking someone to pack us a basket of reception food to take with us on the road, since I'll probably be too excited to taste anything.

Tilly, that's a good idea! I don't know much about my future home at this point, but I can try to share the few things I do know. (I didn't mention this, but we're also squeezing in a big cross-country MOVE before the wedding, to a yet-to-be-determined home! I really can't think about all that's going on or I start to feel overwhelmed!)

I'm not sure yet whether I'll be able to continue blogging after my marriage -- Douglas and I don't plan to have Internet in our home, so it may become rather difficult! We'll see! :-)

Congratulations on the almost-finished wedding dress! What an exciting time for you!

Praying that His peace would strengthen you as you have so much to think over and organise... may you feel His loving presence!

Very exciting! October is a great time to get married--our anniversary is the 9th. Good luck as you get 'down to the wire' on all the plans. The most important thing, at the end of the day, is that you are married--all the details will fall into place! :)
