The good news!

It's getting closer and closer!!! We went on the weekend to bottle up some wine - we had a whole entourage with us! We did about 180 half sized bottles and 30 full sized bottles in the small time frame of 1 hour! Talk about quick! Then Rob and I took Maddy to a movie and relaxed the rest of the afternoon.

Mom's dress is in, she got the phone call the other day! We can't wait to go down and try it on again, yes, WE. LOL She's out searching for shoes now, she's found a pair she loves, so just has to go buy them.

Rob's going this weekend, because he has NO choice, to pick the style of his tux for the wedding. We're 3 and a half months away, and he has NO idea what he wants! On top of that, we've got to get our wedding rings.... man, it's going to be busy for the next little while!

But, on a HUGELY bright note..........

Shannon and Jacob got engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even express how excited this makes me! My little sister is getting married! Thank god too... I don't know what I would have done with myself after all the wedding planning LOL Now I can jump from mine, into hers LOL

Congrats guys!

It's in... and it fits!

Well, the moment came and went.. my dress is in!!! I went my my mom and sisters and tried it on - felt like a total princess!

The dress is perfect, not a single thing about it I don't absolutely love about it! I put it on and immediatly felt like it was right, it was THE dress!

All I need to do is hem it a bit, put a bustle on, and we're good to go! It's incredibly weird to think that in 4 months and a couple days, I get to wear my dress! Well, I get to wear it before then, I have a fitting on May 1st, but I get to WEAR it wear it in 2 months!

Side note, Rob's stag is May 3rd, anyone interested can contact Dennis, Jake or Shannon for tickets!

Heading into Spring...

It's March, and although Spring should be on it's way, we're still plagued with some awful weather! The more it snows, the less I can persuade myself to actually get up and do something wedding related! I stopped in at the wine place on the weekend, found some pretty cool stuff I'd like to incorporate somehow, went up to see the house and noticed that the lights are all functioning now - that's right, they've finally brought electricity up to Barrie!

Other than that, we're mostly counting the days - 138 to be exact. Only 138 days to do everything that needs to be done! And man does it ever take a long time to do some of these things! I couldn't imagine being any closer to the wedding and not at least knowing how long a DIY project takes. I've got a surprise for you snacky types out there, and let me tell you - of the 200 I plan on having done, I've got about 150, and it takes for EVER to complete them. I'd say about a half hour or so to get 10!

On top of that, I'm preparing invitations, I've got to put them all together and get them ready for mailing, you'd think the invitation companies would do that for you, but oh, no... they don't.

Plus the maps, labels, programs, menus... I never thought this day would come, where I felt overwhelmed with things to do... but alas, welcome to the wedding planning funk!
