So bridesmaids dresses have been purchased. Flowers have been purchased. Guest book has been created and purchased. Invites have been sent. And we have 99 days to go!!
I finally settled and ordered dresses for the flower girls even though that was quite a situation. I ended up getting into arguments with their mother on more then one occasion and as heart breaking as it is for me to admit, I think due to this, our relationship has been forever affected in a negative manner. But since what is done is done and I don't want to wade in it any longer I am happy to say they came in the mail the other day and they are beautiful.
We are getting RSVP's in the mail and its the most exciting thing. I figured out time line with the photographer for the most part. So now I just have to notify my make-up artist and hair stylist. My bridal shower will be happening soon and I have to figure out what and when I want to do my bachelorette party.
I've decided to make cookies as favors so I have to start that the moment the cutter comes in. And I want to make headbands for the theme photo so I have to get on that as well.
I feel as though I have all the time in the world and absolutely no time at all.
Aside from wedding business the fiancé and I are in the process of buying his brother out of his share of the house and re-mortgaging it under ourselves.
No one tells you when you get engaged what the year or so up to the wedding is going to look like. They discuss possible fights between you and your love but then don't touch upon everything else.
Like the strike of realization that everything in your life is going to change, and drastically. You will be gaining a new name which you have to legally change. You will be moving (either in with him or to your own place). You will suddenly realize just how much crap you own and wonder how the hell you will get it to fit in your new place. You will wonder if you can even be a good wife or mother. And you may very well have a panic attack or break down or two or three when it all weighs down on you. When that happens all you can do is take a breath. It's perfectly normal and okay. As long as there is never a doubt in your mind that this is the person you want to be with for the rest of your life, you will manage and survive.
You will be okay. Take it one day at a time. One step forward, one moment following the next. Be excited, don't like all the crazy, the fear, the nerves or the people bring you down.
99 Days To Go. Hope it all goes well.
