Insane wedding update

Sooo we have 81 days to go. And I am beyond excited!! Seriously...one of my co-workers is getting married on Saturday, and I'm a little jealous because I wish we were in my wedding week. 

But so much going on this week. Wedding projects and wedding stresses and all wedding things.

1. Wedding crafts. Oh geez. SO MANY PROJECTS. 

(from top left- clockwise)
1. 175 champagne glasses in their boxes...waiting to be spiffed up with wire and beads for our wedding favors
2. 120 ribbon wands- yellow, champagne/goldy and purple (even though it looks kind of blue) for our church exit. There is an awesome path out the back of our church that will be perfect for our exit!
3. yellow heart clips to put our invites together- we also have purple ones
4. our invites!!! waiting to be put together and sent

2. As you see in the last picture above, our wedding invites have been printed and we're just waiting to put them together to send. Tiny problem- the RSVP postcard appears to be too small...as in I decided to test it last week. I sent one to ourselves last Tuesday...and have yet to receive it. And receiving RSVP cards is kind of important...so shit. Working with our designer to figure out what to do- possibly reprinting. But I want to send this weekend- so it's stressful.

3. My damn engagement ring will not be ready until July 19th. When we dropped it off (remember...I had only planned on ordering my wedding band and not passing over my engagement ring- so it was a bit of a freak-out experience), they told us it would be ready between July 2-10.  And today I was told July 19th. Now for any engaged ladies out there...you know that handing over your ring and not having it for 4 weeks SUCKS. Yes. It sucks.

4. And while all these things are super stressful, I get nights like tonight- where I spend time with amazing friend and my wonderful fiance, and then sit on our balcony watching the Bachelorette, drinking a beer and looking at views like this....

I know- a little dark- but a fabulous sunset

..and I take a deep breath. And calm down. And realize that while 81 days is close- I still have time to finish these projects. 

And if I don't finish those projects...WHO CARES. 

I will be married to my best friend. And that is all that fricken matters. Though I reallllly want my engagement ring back. And I reallllly want to send these DAMN invitations!
