4 months or exactly 124 days to go. I can’t believe that 8 months since our engagement has gone by and time is ticking for us. After over-thinking and being my normal obsessive compulsive self, cake design is settled, flowers will be settled on Thursday, dress has been officially ordered, registry has been set, and invites have been assembled.
Cake
So the first thing on my list of things to do was narrow down the cake and write a check for the deposit. So Ysa and I head over to Coccadotts thinking it would not take long. Write the check and BAM – Done. Nope, that is not what happened. We get there and they don’t have the original order form because GUESS WHAT. I kept it. So the lady recognized me and had us wait a few minutes while she wrapped up her appointment. Well, big mistake because I spotted these delicious, sweet brownies and Ysa and I just devoured them. Then they gave us a cookie to sample as well as these cake pops. Mmmm… Now you have my attention. Brownies.. Yum. Well, for the amount of money we are about to drop on a cake, I will take all the free samples I can get. So finally, what should have been a 5 minute stop, turned into a 40 minute mini-adventure for us. Next stop, registry.
Registry
After that, Ysa and I head over to get me registered and wouldn’t you know, this other lady was getting registered as well. I’m still trying to figure out how Ysa buddied up with her AND her mom. All I kept hearing in my ear, I DON’T HEAR YOU BEEPING.Oh, her mom said this is a good item, Beep that.. As I walk throughout the store, I start to over think, which china set would we love to have, and let me just say, Oba was not there, so I had to think, what would he like, what would I like and find that happy median. Wine glasses, lovely, OMG, the price on this is too much, I can’t add that to the registry while Ysa is like BAM.. Beep that.. Beep that… It really was quite hilarious having her there with me.
Wedding dress has been paid in full and that was one embarrassing moment. I write a check, it gets declined. I’m like that’s impossible; I transferred money into my checking account to cover the cost of the dress. Put it through again – DECLINE.. I call my mom to have her check my bank account and she gets me locked out of the acct, so I call my bank and explain what was going on. I did have all the money in there, and wouldn’t you know that after 1 hr of feeling mortified at this store, I give them my debit card and it swipes through. Great!
Invites
Invites have arrived and in my Oprah voice I call Oba, the invites are heeeeerrreeeeeeee… Yaaaayy.. Pick them up, and during the past couple of weeks have been assembling them. Such lovely invites I must say. I truly LOVE the way they look. But this guest list right here, will be the death of me. I will feel SO much better once all the invites have been put in the mail so I can really start to concentrate on the FUN FUN stuff.
4 months or exactly 124 days to go and then Oba and I can really start planning all the fun stuff that is to come for us. Honeymoon, redecorating our place, and building a happy home for us.
