Writing

This was a productive, and wonderful weekend! I got to spend THREE WHOLE DAYS with my handsome husband to be, and we got quite a bit done, including some much needed partying and relaxation.

First of all, this is the week that the invitations go out. He went out and purchased all the stamps, and I'm gearing up for some heavy duty writing. Yes, I am hand addressing the envelopes. It just makes it more personal, and it's old fashioned, and I love it. I can't wait for all the response cards to come back in because I LOOOVE getting mail.

Second, we designed our guest book. Our amazing photographers had us pick pictures from our engagement session, and the text, and they're going to put it all together. So guests will be signing a custom made coffee table book that is all about us! We had so much fun cuddled up together looking through pictures of ourselves and coming up with fun captions. We wanted it to be more than just a guest book, we want people to be encouraged to write little notes to us. For example, one page will be a picture of us jumping in the air, and across the top of the page it say, "What is some good advice for newly weds?" Or perhaps "What are some fun and exciting places we should visit together?" I can't wait to see what people will answer with.

Super Secret Wedding Project update: 40 done, 110 to go. We're on a roll!

In other wedding news that has nothing to do with writing, I picked up some important honeymoon items this weekend that are a MUST for Italy. I got him a money belt so we can both safely secure our money and passports while sight seeing, and I got a full length skirt so I can get into the Vatican! They have a strict dress code, and those Swiss guards can be mean. We also added a suitcase to our registry because he needs one.

We're getting so close to the big day, and my meltdowns are much more frequent... heaven help us.
