7 Months, 1 Week, 5 Days

Plans are coming along. Venue, check. Catering, check. Wedding Dress in my closet, check. Tuxes picked out, bridesmaids dresses also hanging in my closet, done and done.

This New Years Eve wedding that I've been planning in my head for far longer (wedding date may have been picked out before I even knew Mark) than I've been engaged is actually coming together. I started the blog months ago with intentions of sharing my DIY projects. I've still got plenty of those left to do but we'll see what actually makes on here. This may just turn out to be a place to unload my thoughts on this process. The process that will lead me to being a wife and a step-mother. Craziness!

So far everything has gone really well. No major freak outs. Just a minor one recently regarding bridesmaid dresses. So far it's the one thing that I wasn't 100% sure on, the one decision that made me anxious and stressed me out. Probably because someone other than me has to wear it, someone other than me is spending money on it. I've discovered that asking other people to spend money makes me uncomfortable. Yesterday I came across a different dress that sent my brain into what-if mode. What if this one rounds out the look of our wedding party better? What if this one is cuter, a wear it again type of dress?

Thankfully my MoH knows me well enough that she was able to talk me down from that ledge.

Up next in the planning? Alcohol and hotel accommodations. Funny how one comes after the other. ;)
