Kicking @$$ and taking names!

Wow... with only a little more than five weeks left to go in the wedding countdown things are really starting to get busy. There are a TON of little details that Greg and I are working on that are really exciting. It's easy to feel stressed with all of the minute details but those are the most important!!! All along, my one wish for this wedding was to keep it personal and slightly unique and I have to say that my amazing fiance has done an amazing job of helping me achieve this goal for our wedding. I've got to give this man a lot of credit. Most people think that the wedding is a bride's thing. That's not the case here. For those of you who don't know, Greg has been involved in every decision that we've made and, on a lot of those decisions, his fantastic and creative ideas have really enhanced the overall vision for our big day. He's got a great mind and a knack for solving problems too. I'm really lucky - our wedding is just one day but I get all these skills for the rest of my life. Saweet!


This past weekend was filled with a lot of creative brainstorming and today was a really great day for getting a lot done. We had a six hour drive to Jefferson City, MO this weekend (12 hours round-trip) to see our beautiful friends, Tim and Christen Meisel, tie the knot. Their wedding was such an inspiration and we've even decided to steal a few of their ideas - thanks T&C!


Today Greg and I met up after work and picked up our wedding rings. It's so great to see the rings - it really makes the whole getting married thing a reality. Especially Greg's. I'm already wearing a ring on my left hand but this is a big thing for him (and his ring is perfect - he picked it out with Nit, his best man, and today was the first time I've seen it. I love it!) After the rings we figured we'd run with the wedding ideas pulsing in my veins so we picked up a guest book, looked at some decorations for the reception, and picked up some final accessories for his tux. Watching him try that tux on - in it's entirety - tonight was awesome. He's a good lookin' dude but seeing him all gussied up is pretty cool. I finally found a dress for the rehearsal dinner so life is good. I was starting to think I was going to show up in my pajamas - everyone had a dress for the night but me!


This weekend will be filled with tons of other wedding errands and I'm loving it. Can't wait for the big day so all of these grand ideas can finally come to fruition!
