Panic Creeping In

As of this evening at about ten p.m., panic is starting to creep in. Hours and hours and hours have gone into creating the favors, and still hours of work remain. There are still so many things that need to be purchased. We've barely even thought about the decorations... I have no idea how everything is going to come together. It seems that everything I viewed as important is having to be left out of our day. It's getting incredibly stressful.

Five Weeks to Go!

Well, we're down to the final five weeks. Crazy. Honestly? It still feels like there should be at least another three months. We've got a lot done, but so many little things are left - and all those little things are a lot more difficult than any of the big things were.

Who'd have thought. The big things turned out to be the easiest. Who officiates? Where's the ceremony? Who stands up for you? What to wear? What colours? What to serve at the reception? These things are all dictated fairly easily based on who a person is. It was a given that I'd be married outdoors. When we found our reception site it turned out there was a park a half a block down the street. Damon picked a colour, and I picked a colour (thankfully they match). Choosing our sisters as our honor attendants also came easy... but the little things? Who gives each toast? Who should be the photographer? Do we get a videographer? What song do we dance to? What song do we dance with our parents to? Who should do the toasts? What kind of wine for the toasts? Who's watching the dogs? How do we decorate the hall? Where do we stand at the ceremony (which end of the park, facing which direction)? How do we thank everyone who helped make the day possible?

I'm a little stressed.

Anyone want to take over my job? Anyone want to be a bride?
