Dress & Rings

Wow. Being engaged for 18 months is insanely long for someone who likes to plan things. Granted, were just over the 1 year mark for being engaged, but we still have 8.5 months until the wedding. There are so many things that I want to do, but its just too early to do them. Do you know how annoying that is for someone who likes to make lists and get things done right away?

At the same time, I can't believe we only have 8.5 months until the wedding. I have a ton of stuff to do! We still have money to save. But, being that super anal organized person that I am, I have everything broken down into what needs to be done each month.

Last week two pretty exciting things happened. T received a call that our wedding bands were in and ready to pick up at our convenience. When he told me, I said "holy crap we're really getting married!" Later on in the week I received an email from the dress shop telling me that Maggie Sottero contacted my dress store and said my dress was being shipped before the end of the month and should arrive to the shop by January 10th.

Its funny how those two things make the wedding so much more realistic. I mean, I know we're getting married and all of that, but until you have the bands and the dress, its not quite real that its happening. Its like when I went on a cruise. We paid portions of money throughout the year and although I made those payments and knew what they were going towards, it wasn't until we received the tickets in the mail that I thought "Wow, we're really going on a cruise!"

Now I have to patiently wait 8.5 months to wear the band. :-( However, in less than 3 weeks I can try on my dress so that makes up for it a bit!
