Under Ethiopia

I've just been informed that iTunes cards can now be used to purchase apps for the iPhone, as opposed to only music. So the card I got for Christmas that I had previously dubbed useless has now bought me this blogger app, which means I can now entertain you from wherever I may be. At the moment, I happen to be at Starbucks (hence the ol' saying, "Under Ethiopia", though I'm not actually under Ethiopia, I am outside at a different Starbucks entirely)! Sitting out in the sun. . . Finally!!! I thought it would never come!! Time to work on my tan. 11 days until the wedding!!

Guests

We've been getting stacks and stacks of response cards in the mail lately, and it is super exciting! And guess what! EVERYONE wants to come! During all my wedding research online, I've stumbled upon about 87 websites that say you can generally count on about 25-30% of your invited guests not to be able to attend. So far, I have a whopping 4%. I'm thrilled that everyone wants to come, especially since I WANT everyone to come! But I didn't realize that our guest list would grow so much during invitation making. . . I guess that means more presents!! And perhaps more tables. A month and a half!!

Favours

I'm currently in the process of trying to decide on favours (with less than eight week to go! Oh my!) and I can't decide between these three. Opinions anyone?

Update: I'm leaning towards the third one in the three colours on the left. Number one is off the list and number 2 is still a close second. . .

Less Than 100 Days

The countdown has really begun now with only three months to go! And with that, I've decided to throw in a curveball and spring for a caterer. Too late? We'll see. With any luck we'll be doing a taste test with Moonlight Catering within the next two weeks, and hopefully things taste good. Otherwise. . . well, I'd rather not think about that. Burgers, anyone?

I officially own my dress. It is still in the store, but all alterations are finished, everything is paid for, and I simply have to go in and pick it up a few days before the wedding. I couldn't be happier with it. It is probably the one thing I am most excited for! Besides marrying Bill of course, and that whole being a part of another family thing. That should be pretty cool too.

I'm roadtripping it to Burlington on May 1st with the girls - very excited! We'll be picking up all of their bridesmaids dresses, and I'm very happy to finally be seeing them in person. Then, of course, being in Burlington, we'll have to take in a few outlet malls and do some shopping, then have a SLUMBER party! I'm so stoked, it'll be a great time. Just as good as a bachelorette in Vegas, I'm sure. Maybe we can find some cowboy boots as well. That's what I'll be watching for, anyway.

Now I need to either do some studying for Friday's exam, or search the internet for jobs. Who needs real life anyway.

Less than three Martha

The one thing that I am dreading entirely about my wedding day is that once it is over, I will no longer have a reason to purchase my Martha Stewart Wedding magazines. Sadness (insert three million unhappy emoticons). That means that I only have two more issues to look forward to! The greatest thing about Martha Stewart's magazines is that they are filled with DIY projects, which are not only relatively cheap, but she also makes things (quite simply, I might add) that look absolutely phenomenal! Alas, my time with Martha is coming swiftly to an end :(. I shall treasure these next six months (and probably the next few years afterwards as I begin on her post-wedding crafts - hurray for memories that are to come!).

My dress!!!

I ordered my dress the other day, and I am SO RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED!!!!! It'll still be a while before it comes in, and then even longer until I get to wear it, but it is halfway mine!! Ooooo I can't wait.

I bought the matching veil from J yesterday - hurray for paying half the price!

AND I bought Martha Stewart invitations from Michaels for 75% off! I was intending to make my own, but there's no way I could do so at that price. I'm feeling way ahead of schedule. Photographer, check, dress, check, save-the-dates, check, invitations, check, guest list, mostly check . . . I need to get some more addresses so I can start doing some mailing!

Less than nine months left!

I am SO doing something like this. .
