Am I missing something?

As you know from reading previous posts, most of our planning is well under way. We have decided on the date, the place, the caterer, the DJ, the photographer, my dress, the bridesmaids dresses, the flowers, the centerpieces, the color scheme, the bridesmaids gifts and the invitations.......

So now, I am actually a little sad. It's not that I am not excited to be getting married, and to ultimately have Matt as my husband. I think I'm just disappointed that the planning has gone so quickly. I guess that's the price that you pay for pulling a wedding off in less than 8 months.....I was just telling Carrie the other day that it hasn't really hit me yet that I am a BRIDE!!!!! I know that I am getting married, it just doesn't feel like I am a bride for some reason. Maybe it's because I've chosen the low key route for everything, which I still think is better than being a Bridezilla (but of course that is subject to change - just a warning!).

The upcoming events would be our engagement photos, which are scheduled for this Sunday at 3:00. It's kind of funny, because when Matt and I saw the weather forecast last night, it said rain was expected all day on Sunday. Now, I think most brides would be freaking out about it, but me? Not so much! They can always be re-scheduled, and throwing a fit won't change the weather : ) I am also going to be ordering our invitations soon. The are simple, square, white invites with an embossed double border and embossed writing. I haven't picked the style of the lettering yet, but the designing of the invitations has been pretty fun so far. Another thing that I am starting to think about more is the rehearsal dinner. Hopefully I will have updates on all of the above soon!

Do I know you?

Okay, first off, the wedding plans are still going really well. Not much news, we're just getting all of the deposits to the appropriate persons. Left on the list is planning the honeymoon, rehearsal dinner, securing a photographer, and the invitations.

Speaking of the invitations, has anyone that has ever planned a wedding noticed how people come crawling out of the wood work when they want to be included in an event? Seriously, I am getting SO SICK of the, "Well I KNOW I'm invited!" and the, " When is it so I can save the date?". Come on guys, I haven't talked to you in years, why would I invite you to such an intimate event if you're not part of my life anymore? And I also get that parents do want to have a part of the guest list reserved for some that they would like present, fine. However, when some of those people (one in particular) only have rude comments to make and are clearly gossiping viciously why would Matt and I want them to share our day with us?

I swear, I am to the point of not being nice Lindsey anymore. The next time someone invites themselves for a free party, I am going to tell them like it is!!!!!
