Old Soul, Young Heart

This is the last Wedding Wednesday!!! Isn't that so sad?! Not really, because then we'll be married and honeymooning. Woot! We met with the dj on Thursday. I'm glad that he was so open to all the songs we want to play, because a lot of them are ones that people have never heard of. I was afraid he'd be annoyed by that, but he was cool with it! I made a cd of "cocktail hour songs," "dinner songs," and "dance songs." Hopefully they stick to those! We picked up Philip's wedding ring on Friday. We had to order a different size for him--glad they were able to get it in time and that it fits! Over the weekend I got a lot of stuff done. I was running all over the countryside picking things up. Saturday especially I felt like I got a lot more organized. All of the stuff for the chapel is now downstairs, as well as gifts for people. All of the stuff for the reception is still upstairs. Picked up my dad's suit on Monday! I took my dre

No pictures this week, so kind of a boring post... sorry! Dad got his suit. He even got his tailoring done. He looks super cute! I met with the guy from Casey's on Friday about flowers. We've firmed up the details and I'm so excited! They will be very pretty. I picked up my wedding gown on Saturday! It's beautiful and fits me like a glove. I can't stop looking at the pictures of me in it that my aunt took. It is very me . I can't wait to wear it alllllllll day. I didn't want to take it off! Joy (Philip's mom) and my aunt Peggy picked up their dresses on Saturday too. It was fun to have a little trying-on party at the alterations place. I still need to get my dress steamed. There are a few tiny spots on it (it was a sample, so lots of other girls tried it on before me), so I need to get those cleaned too. I'm really scared to take it to the dry cleaner's, but I gotta have faith! I need to do this soon since I don't know how long it'l

We got our marriage license on Friday! Centerpiece saga: So I Do Events it is. Simple Elegance neglected to get back to me (though responded quite quickly when I emailed them again asking for an update on what we had talked about a week earlier!) and they don't have enough centerpieces for all of the tables. I had a good experience with I Do Events a couple of months ago and they've been responsive, so I'm going to reward their good behavior with our business haha! We met yesterday and I feel confident that it'll be beautiful. The only bad part is that they are located in Washington, so I'll have to pick up the glass on Thursday and someone will have to return it on Monday, but we'll survive! RSVPs were due on Saturday and we received 97 out of 136 by the deadline. A few have trickled in since then. C'mon, friends and fam! It ain't that hard to drop something that's pre-stamped into the mail. Guess we'll be doing a little research on those w
