Last night was Melanie's wedding. Everything was so perfect and represented Melanie wonderfully! The centerpieces were amazing. The husband cut the wood, the inlaws grew the flowers, and her sister helped assemble the terrariums. I can't believe how delicious her candied apples were. Omg. And she looked beautiful. Her photographer was beyond amazing. I am still in love with him and haven't even met him!
Now for our wedding!
We are 76 days away! That's not far at all. And our list has not started to get smaller, only I think I am adding more than I am taking away. I don't even know what to do or where to begin. I guess it's time to get back on track instead of adding more to the guest list.
I finished our invites on Monday and then we sent our invites out on Tuesday. During this same week, we added 10 guests to our already too large of a list! I think we are right at 170 guests invited now. Our original list began with the idea of no more than 100 people. Those 70 extra guests, I don't even know who they are at this point! Strangers I suppose!
Betty sent out the bridal shower invites last week. And this past weekend Iggy's grooms shower evites went out. He has a theme for his party! And so do I. I have just ordered thank you gifts for the girls for my shower. Adorable, thank you to the wonderful friend who made them! And Betty's thank you shower gift is almost complete.
I will repost the never ending list. And see how it looks now.
