We are down to 5 months

And because I have a late lab tomorrow night 

Tonight is also our Valentine's Day celebration.

Every time I go home I am spending most of my conversations

Talking about wedding plans and trying to make decisions

We have decided to try to utilize the barn

Which requires extra cleaning and yardsssssss of burlap and gossamer

and power washing

BUT

we've bought lanterns

And spray paint so I can do THIS

We are talking about repurposing some old chandeliers 

One of my flower girls has picked out her dress

and even creatively tied in my dress color with an ivory ribbon

ONE of my bridesmaids has bought a dress

And I think we've settled on shoes

As of now my spring break is going to become meetings and planning

Meetings with the florists

Meetings with hair people?

 I'm having bridal portraits taken on April 14th

A day after my step sister's wedding

Bachelorette party in May

At least one shower in June

And my mother is demanding I have a bridal luncheon

I want Carolina Bagel

(if you're ever in New Bern, NC- go there. Get the open faced chicken salad melt on a cheddar bagel. Seriously the most delicious thing in the entire world- also not EXACTLY on the menu, but they'll make it!)

But she wants it to be at the country club

And she's having a hard time fathoming the fact that it has to be Friday

Or else none of my out of town/ out of state bridesmaids can come. DUH!

--------------

A few months ago it seemed so far away

That it might never happen

And now it seems so close I might not get it all done in time

But I can't wait

I hope these 5 months can just fly by

Because even if every thing is not done

Even if my hair is in a ponytail

and my bridesmaids have no dresses

I'm marrying the man of my dreams

My very best friend

and that's all that matters!

Hope everyone has a great pre-Valentine's Day
