Ok.... so it's really time for me to get serious. Whether you may or may not know, Danny and I have been engaged about a year and a half. I've had plenty of time to do my research on this wedding and if I could do it all over again, I would do the exact same thing. I highly encourage couples getting married to do the same. It has left me time to really get what I want in all aspects. I don't know how you feel, but I plan on only doing this once so it better be right. Down to DIY-ing everything, I've also had time to get the venues, clothing, catering, etc. I've wanted at the best possible price I could. I'm one of those change-my-mind-all-of-the-time kind of people, but I feel like I've really stuck to my guns the whole way through this process. Unless of course, we're talking DIY projects.
To this day, (to be specific, 5 minutes ago) I'm constantly looking at DIY wedding ideas. Yes, I am crazy. It's almost become my little hobby....or obsession as most people would refer to it. I LOVE MAKING THINGS! Ok, ok I think I need to start Lent a little late this year. No DIY project searching for 2 months! Not 40 days, but 60 days of not using my favorite word, (Google) on how to add more projects to my already extremely long list. So everyday I'm going to remind myself of how to stay on track. I'm going to start listing my daily wedding tasks on my blog so not only you can see what I have accomplished, (or what I didn't) but I can keep track. Ok good. I already feel better just writing that I'm going to do it.
So first things first, here is my list of Wedding tasks for May 4th, 2011:
-Finalize my wedding invite choice (Yes I had found some, but decided after the rehearsal dinner invites came in, that I actually hated my wedding invites.)
-Work on Pomanders (goal is 2 everyday until the wedding.)
Pretty attainable list, but it's already 6:30 and I still need to eat dinner, watch my Wednesday t.v. shows, and spend some time with my Smooch bear.(Danny..haha!) All before I go to bed with all of the other old married couples in the world at 10p.m. :)
So, have a lovely evening everyone, and I will be back tomorrow to tell you all about how my night went. I'll also be showing you my DIY table numbers. It's been fun, but I'm cutting out early for dinner....mmmm I can't ever miss a meal!

Whew! I can't believe I forgot to wish everybody a Happy Belated Royal Wedding on Friday! What was your favorite part? I got home from work on Friday night and checked out some of the highlights via DVR. I seriously don't know how I would function without it! The recording we had was 5 hours long, and I'm pretty sure I watched about 30 minutes total. I did catch the best parts though. Of course I had to watch Kate's entrance and to see her dress and I think the only other part I watch was the kiss. I didn't really get into the mumble jumble crap. I did however, think her dress was AMAZING!! I'm pretty sure my favorite part so far about planning my wedding has been planning wardrobe. Getting dressed is one of my favorite parts of the day, so of course its got to be outdone x10 for a wedding. So, in honor of the hype of the Royal Wedding, I will show you my favorite part incase you missed:
Ok so enough Royal Wedding excitement. I had a day off today so I worked on wedding stuff all day! I started off by drawing up centerpiece plans and assessed what I still needed in supplies. The venue I'm having my reception at has many different tables and a MONGO outdoor space, so I have 4 different centerpieces I'm using. I probably should have been a little more organized about my strategy, but thankfully I still have time. The closer and closer the day approaches, I feel more unorganized. I totally forgot about a hair appointment I'm suppose to have tomorrow, and I have to work. Opps. Thankfully I have very accommodating people in my life.
Ok, so besides realizing I was unorganized this morning, I spent about an hour looking for my glasses. I usually either have them in the bathroom or on my nightstand, and they had been missing for about 24 hours, (Anyone who knows me knows how precious my Ray-Bans are too me.) Just when I was positive one of the dogs had taken them and chewed them into pieces, I found them in the box of save-the-dates. ha!
After my absent minded morning was over I began working on my projects. I completed about 6 pomanders today, which is awesome! I also became pretty close to finishing up painting my table numbers too, which you'll see in the future:). I caped my day off by setting some of my centerpiece displays so I could see them and make corrections if needed. Very successful day all in all. Danny has also been such a help with the pomanders. He's in the middle of finals week, and during his study breaks he helped fan fold tissue paper. What a doll:)
Tonight, I'll leave you with the arrangement I assembled for my head table. Bon voyage! (Sorry I'm an old person and I go to bed early...every night).
