Today marks 50 days until the wedding.
We've been having a fantastic summer, and so far I think we're doing well at enjoying our summer without letting this wedding take over our lives. At least, as much as possible!
So, what wedding things to share? RSVPs are coming in now... and I keep crossing my fingers that we stay under 69%. Otherwise we'll have numbers issues. If the 180 people that haven't responded follow suit of the 90 who have, we'll be just fiine at 64%.
Not like I'm counting or obsessing.
My to-do list still seems interminably long, but I'm not sure there's anything else that I can do about it right now. It's too early to do some things.
For now, I'll enjoy going to someone else's wedding this weekend: a dear, dear friend who is like my sister.
And I'll keep obsessing with my numbers.

It's been a long time!
Well, it's been a long time. And I've had 2 people ask me about the blog, so I thought I would write something. I hadn't been sure if people were still even reading the details, so I had kind of let things go.
I moved since the last post, so that's probably why I've been so slow at updating. Other things going on, we kind of put wedding planning to the side.
But we've been making hay like crazy lately... er, making progress!
The only interesting thing that's happened lately has been in regards to our guest book.
2 months or so ago, one of my cousins offered to make the guest book for us. She makes handmade books and wanted to make the guestbook. We discussed the idea and decided together that we would rather go a different route that we had been planning on. When we finally purchased our own supplies, I was getting ready to tell my cousin that we were going another direction...
Right about that time, I got a message from her saying she's purchased all the supplies and was ready to go to make the book, she just needed to know how many people to plan for...
I was kind of speechless at first. I wondered if I had maybe given her the go-ahead without realizing it, but Nick was adamant about our decision and reminded me that I shouldn't give in, just because of an over-excited cousin who bought supplies without having actual confirmation from us.
So, back goes a message to the cousin, apologizing for any miscommunication, but saying that we're going a different route and have already purchased other supplies.
Not to mention, as a side note, part of me wondered, "How do you even know that I would have liked the supplies you purchased?"
So, I curbed my frustrated self that wanted to lash out and sent a very kind and apologetic message instead.
My future mother-in-law said I can blame it on her next time. Good plan.
