24 Days!

Okay. Well, you're not gonna get a day-by-day update this time, because I've forgotten. But, we're almost there.

Sometime at the end of last week Nick messaged his aunt who had offered to make our cake and said we'd love to have her do it. We had debated a bit just because I feel like with weddings it's better not to hire family or friends for anything, but in the end I decided with a cake it shouldn't be a big deal. And she might do it a little cheaper, so that would be great. We're still hashing out all the details of that, but I think it's pretty much a done deal.

I guess we spent a couple nights last week trying to get my printer up and running so we could print envelopes for invitations. I didn't want to use labels because I guess it's considered "tacky" by some (and I guess I agree), but there was no way I was gonna sit there and handwrite 300 addresses (because my handwriting would look good on about the first three), so I wanted to print them. But my printer apparently decided to be lame and not work anymore. So Saturday we went to Provo to borrow Jeff's printer, and then had to go to Walmart twice for ink. Gah! But we finally got it up and running.

Sunday was spent printing and stuffing envelopes.

Monday was a good productive day. In the morning we went to the florist and ordered our flowers. Then we went a few places to look for suits for Nick, but we realized that he'll definitely have to go to a nice suit store to get what we want instead of just a department store at the mall. Which is fine, we just thought we'd take a look. Then we got all of the invitations ready to send. That was so exasperating. Just trying to figure out if we got everyone or not is so overwhelming! And then throw in trying to figure out exactly who to invite to the sealing...it's crazy. Oh, also we had a slight mishap ordering our sealing invitations, so we don't have those yet. But we got all of the other envelopes, sealed, stamped, and ready to go. The ones that need sealing invitations will go out by the end of the week, we hope.

Today we got a photographer! I had emailed a girl that I found on Facebook who I really liked on like Friday night, but had never heard back from her. So I messaged her again and it looks like it's a go! Yay!

Also, Nick's mom got the wedding luncheon/dinner booked and planned, so that's done too! Things are really coming together. It's getting stressful though. Or at least the past several days have been.

Now, on to the reception planning! We're just gonna do an ice cream sundae bar, so we're not gonna have caterers for that. Decorations and layout kind of stuff is the big thing.
I guess in addition to that, we've gotta both have our outfits and accessories for the day finalized. OH! Mom found some lace that almost perfectly matches my dress so she can make sleeves! I'm so excited about that!

Whew, busy busy. And Nick's moving on the 30th, so that's coming up quick. Things seem to be working really well though!
