August 6th is Around the Corner!!!!!!

Somehow I managed to never post the wedding date on this blog...wow.

It's May, which means I'm finished with my first year of PA school and finally get to focus on the wedding!! Hooray!

We just got home from registering at Macy*s (I don't know how I just noticed they replaced the apostrophe with an asterisk) and I'm starting to wonder how one can register at even more places. There were so many similar items to what we saw at Bed Bath and Beyond that we already scanned, and yet we still managed to spend a couple hours there. To check out the registry, go to Macys.com, click on wedding registry, and I think you just type in my name and Nick's (he's under Nick, not Nicholas).

I've been to my new favorite store Paper Source four times in about 1 1/2 weeks, and it's a little embarrassing because the same salesperson sees me staring at the wall of stamps and then at all the paper options and I think I'm starting to look a little obsessed...or like I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm making the table numbers and place cards and I think the wedding programs myself. Right now it doesn't seem like that horrible of a task to complete until I start thinking about creating over 100 place cards. And of course Nick could care less whether the place cards have a ribbon with a bow or without one. The fact that I just typed that and am actually having a bow debate with myself makes me want to vomit a little. I may have inadvertently fallen into a pool of "things that annoy me about wedding planning because they really don't matter at all." Boo.

We're revising a few things on our reception menu, and are meeting with our rehearsal dinner caterer soon. I'm really excited about her because 1. We've had her tuna tartare and it's amazing and will be present at the rehearsal dinner and 2. she's a pastry chef, and I LOVE dessert.

We're getting the invitations together and double checking addresses and whatnot. Nick and the boys have most of their wedding attire all together and the ladies are coming along as well. MAJOR muchas gracias to Ian and his mom Nora Hollinger of Erica Koesler for my amazing veil and hairpiece- she is so awesome. We're finally getting our engagement photos taken June 5, super delayed since we probably won't get them until the wedding! Umm...what else...we picked our Ketubah (artwork/document that lists the rights of a women within a Jewish marriage...essentially the vows in Hebrew and in English) my first dress fitting is coming up.

We have some pre-wedding festivities coming up...one which is rated PG and the others...well, they're not ;-)
