.seeing the pics on the monitor is Not the same as printing them.

CHECK


invitations designed, printed, assembled, and mailed

CHECK


design by Miss G

wedding dress here, altered and hanging in her bedroom
bridesmaids dresses and accessories gathered
decisions on refreshments (i think)
flowers ordered
ceremony planned 
stage and  table decor designed 
(in my head that is)

CHECK



girls, it is less than 4 weeks 3 weeks 17 days until W-day!
It will be here in a flash.
She has had 2 of her 3 showers.
They have found their apartment.


It is starting to feel really real.
I'm excited.
I'm scared.
I'm sad.




She is glowing.



so ready to set  up house




think of me in these next days as I try to pull
all of the details
out of my head
and bring them to reality
at the same time
remaining calm
for my girl.
I may not be around much but I promise to come back
and show you all the yummy details
for now
I've been sworn to secrecy.
bye

This is going to be so much fun! Seeing them makes me think of how young I was when I married and now I understand why everyone said I was too young to be married, have a baby, have babies...and I was even older than Gracie, I was 21!

They are a sweet couple <3
