I can't believe it has already been over two months since we've been engaged. It's insane, but I am loving every minute of it! I tell Logan all the time that I always start to get anxious and start wishing that the wedding would be tomorrow or that we could already have our new home to start settling into, but I am trying as hard as I can to appreciate this time we have together. After dating for three years, we've only got a short while before "the rest of our lives" starts.. and I want to enjoy it!
We visited Union Station today. (We being my mom, Logan, and I.) It is so beautiful and historic, I just love it. What the manager of events had to say was all encouraging, so that's good. We just need to crunch some numbers with the Cannery people before we fully commit. I am crossing my fingers though - it would be so wonderful to have our ceremony there and reception at the Cannery! That way we wouldn't have the stress of flipping the Cannery between ceremony and reception, etc. Bah. We will see!
Oh and I announced my bridesmaids! Or, rather, I asked them. :) I sent them all a bouquet of roses asking them to be my bridesmaid and meet me at The Cheesecake Factory the following night for dinner together. That is, all but two. Two are out of state so I sent them little canvases I crafted for them that said "love" with lace and other fun patterns and textures. But, I paid A LOT of money for them to be delivered by Thursday (so everyone would know together) and neither has contacted me.... so I feel a little weird and awkward about that. I don't know if they've gotten it and don't want to do it, or if they haven't gotten them and that money was wasted. I guess I'll wait and see a couple days and then give them a call.
Oh! And Mom and I went antiquing yesterday to look for vintage cans or tins for our centerpieces. I was inspired by a photo I ran across when looking for invitation ideas, and I thought it would be perfect for our reception! So here it is: For our flowers on the table we're going to have mason jars, glass bottles (Cokes, and other types) and old vintage food tins for all the flowers! I thought this was a perfect way to tie in our love of all things vintage and still keep things beautiful! So we found about ten yesterday and we're going to go looking again soon.
Aghhh and our engagement pictures are Tuesday!! And pre-marital counseling starts Wednesday! It's a big week. I'm sad because I fell last week and got a MASSIVE bruise on my shin and now it's going to be in all of our engagement pictures since I'm wearing a dress and then shorts... but whatever. I can't do anything about it, and maybe we can photoshop it out. We'll see.
I'm a little nervous for pre-marital counseling, not because of what it entails but just because I don't know what to expect and I think Logan is a little TOO gung-ho about being super honest. When I'm a little bit of an extra sensitive person and he's a little bit of an extra insensitive person, things get out of hand quickly. So I hope he doesn't take this as a time to let the flood gates open on any thing that's ever bothered him. Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit... but I don't know. Ha.
Welp my wedding shoes are supposed to come in tomorrow so that's exciting. And I feel like we're making good headway, I just hope we can book that honeymoon soon.... Dad has been kind of lazy on getting back to me about swapping our timeshare so we'll see.
Gotta go to church soon - love!
