30 days, and sundaes…

1 month, 30 days, 720 or so hours!

That’s it folks! That’s the countdown to our wedding!  AAHH!!  *screams with nerves and excitement* In going over the many things to do, the checked off marks are increasing and the to do’s are slightly decreasing.  More yes’s are being said than no’s to “Have you done this or that?”  This past Sunday we had a wedding shower. It was wonderful.  Lovely hostesses and guests! I was overwhelmed with the attention.  Matt and I were so touched with everything!  Thank you again ladies!  I’m in the process of writing thank you notes and finishing some last touches to a few decoration ideas.  Oh and working on programs……lists don’t stop.  I will let you in on a big secret surprise about the ceremony though. Won’t be so much a surprise but the final execution will be!   As you know our ceremony will be followed by a send off. What’s a send off?

Something Matt and I made up! Its not a reception just a chance for us to speak with our guests before we leave.  We will be having cupcakes and punch, and an *drum-roll*

ICE CREAM SUNDAE BAR

 During my random wedding idea internet searching I came across this lovely idea at Eat, Drink, Chic.  An old fashion ice cream sundae bar!  Isn’t it lovely?  I fell completely head over heels for it and it didn’t take much to convince Matt of its brilliance.  (Just promises of certain toppings!) 

It fits perfectly with the vintage vibe of the wedding!!

Course never to copy anything exactly the same, its going to have lots of personal touches but the same vintage parlour concept. (striped fabric, vintage holders–eeep I can’t wait!)   I’ve been working feverishly to get all the toppings, syrups, containers, and labels just right!  I’m almost done!

This concept along with the cupcake tower tie into the unweddingness.  Now to figure out how to tie this into the reception……

30 days and counting…doesn’t seem quite real! After almost 5 years with this wonderful man, in 30 days he’ll be my husband.  During these years we’ve been through a lot.  We’ve learned how to have an argument and get through it quickly. We’ve learned how to still act like kids and be mature the second we need to.  We’ve learned to read each others emotions better than ourselves.  We’ve learned how to tell each other the truth even when the truth isn’t what we want to hear.  He’s taught me so much about myself that I didn’t know before.  Instead of being a relationship where I lost myself,  I think I’ve grown into more of myself because of him.  He makes me better, which makes us better! I want these 30 days to go by quickly because I can’t wait to call him husband, but I also want them to go slow because I want to cherish every moment God has given us to lead to this day. 

April 17th here we come!
