The wedding is officially PAID OFF as of today! I just put all of the final payment checks in the mail today and now my spreadsheet officially has a $0 balance! HALLELUJAH! This whole wedding planning process has been such a roller coaster, but we are now two weeks out from today and it is paid for so I could not be more excited! We have all of the major things done EXCEPT the most important...getting our marriage license LOL! It is pretty funny that we saved that for last, since that is what this whole thing is about...us getting MARRIED! We knew it would just take a day though so we are planning on going down to the county clerks office one day next week and taking care of that. Our rings are ordered and everything is paid...now all that is left is writing out escort cards, finalizing the seating chart, and few other DIY projects. I can see the light!
We are moving next weekend and then it's wedding week! So crazy! This last month in general has been so chaotic with Bobby's job offer and acceptance, us planning a move right before the wedding, and all of the final wedding things...I am definitely looking forward to relaxing and letting loose at the wedding and the day after! We have definitely earned it! We unfortunately will not be able to take a honeymoon right away because Bobby starts at American Express the 26th (3 days after the wedding) but we have a night at the Ritz in Laguna Niguel on the 24th so we will be taking full advantage of that! Before that, since my whole bachelorette weekend plans didn't work out, one of my bridesmaids and I set up a spa day so I can relax after moving and right before the wedding! I can NOT wait!!!
I never imagined we would be moving literally 4 days before the wedding, out of state, BUT that is what was the hand we were dealt so we are working with it and making everything work! It will be worth it to be moved in to our new place before the wedding since Bobby starts right away. This our life together and I wouldn't have it any other way! ;)

Bride Brain
My brain is OFFICIALLY in "Bride Brain Mode". Bobby and I spent a good 4-5 hours today working on the logistical stuff for the wedding. Started the seating arrangements as best we could with people we KNOW for sure are coming and most likely will be coming. We wanted to get a bit of a head start on that (before we have received everyone's RSVP) so we did a first run, which I must say went pretty well and wasn't TOO much of a headache. We have it pretty well figured out so we will see how and if things change as the responses come in.
We also had to fill out our photography questionnaire and photolist. That wasn't too bad, although the photo list got to be a headache give our family situations. Yes, people should suck it up and just stand there for a picture, but we want the pictures to portray happiness too so we just split some of them up haha Makes it easier on everyone and still works.
On the questionnaire it asks for MUST have pictures for the ceremony, pre-ceremony, etc...those were HARD. I have a pinterest board full of wedding photos I love that our photographer has looked at so I trust that she will capture all of the moments we want. I just hope I am not completely overlooking something obvious by overthinking it! If anyone has any photo suggestions do let me know ;)
Wow, typing it out it doesn't sounds like we did a whole lot but it definitely took forever and felt like a lot. It was all really important logistical things that needed to be done though and I am glad they are done!
Our coordinator is working on the day of timeline as we speak so having the timeline down will be the most important part. Things are coming together so that is definitely a relief.
My next dress fitting is a week from today up north. DREADING having to drive up there again though ugh. Really excited to see my dress with my veil and bustle though and bring it home! Praying there won't need to be any more alterations because I REALLY don't want to have to drive up there again it is SUCH a pain in the butt. I will also get all of the random decor that is still up there and the rest of the gifts from the shower that didn't fit last time.
36 days to go!
