Doing work.

Getting stuff done, booking certain services, contacting the right people.
I say we're getting our asses into shape for a pretty cool wedding. Woo.


PS. For all of you people flying over to Jersey/New York, I'm waiting for a few emails to come back for some discounts! Stay tuned people, stay tuned!

Short but sweet.

This was one CRAAAAZY weekend. A brunch wedding (CONGRATS MY LOVES ADONNA & ALDRICK!), a surprise birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGANSKI!), and a random "family" dinner at a very creepy house (YAY FOR AUSSIES AND AMERICANS AND BC PEOPLE). And finally.. a sad goodbye. =(

Yesterday, I said goodbye to Ryan one last time. This was his last visit before he picks me up in August.
For all of you LDR's out there, it always seems that weekend trips are always such a tease, yeah? You start getting used to having your loved one there, and then BAM, they have to go. As I was standing there at the entrance of the cross-over point in the airport, not only was I crying my eyes out and clawing at Ryan, (yes I know, I am a very attractive person)I had a little tiny tiny tiny smile on my face, knowing that I don't ever have to do that ever again.


Thank freaking goodness. I think my eyes could never forgive me for the puffiness they had to endure over the last 2 years. If I was rich and had a beautician, I think I would have had a black eye from her. She would have thrown all the creams and makeup at me and said, "EFF YOU, you don't even care!" and then would have punched me in the face.
... I don't even know where that came from. I think I may still be sleeping.. I know that I am definitely sleep deprived.

Anyway, what was I driving at? Oh yeah. No more goodbyes. Woo.

Lists

When I logged into theknot.com today, I checked the countdown. 122 days?!
Crap. 22 days until it hits the 100 mark.

Then, I looked into things done on the checklist. 57 completed (YAY), 122 still left undone.
WHAT THE HECK? 122 things left to do!?!?

I am so done. We are so done.
We do have 4 more months left, eloping is still an option..

On To The Next One

Thing's I've managed to do as the day gets closer:

- Finally locked down a venue.
- Found our videographer.
- Pretty sure I found our DJ
- Found and bought my suit! (more on that later)
- Almost finalized our Save The Date
- Invitation design pretty much set
- Decided on our favors for the guests
- Gifts for the sponsors
- Signing up for wedding registries. (I'm most excited for the Amazon one)

Yes really only a handful of things on a never ending list of things that need to get done, but we're getting there I think..

Best Present Ever.

Okay, so let's be honest here. Girls LOVE to be spoiled, and I admit, I do love getting spoiled by Ryan. I probably don't take advantage of it as much as other girls do (AHEMMMMMMM...), and I know that I complain to Ryan about his spending on me (which I know he hates), but I do love it.

What triggered this post? I was having lunch with a friend, and she was talking about all of these presents she gets from her boyfriend, and these are expensiiiiiiive gifts. Designer bags, designer sunglasses designer bouguasie stuff.. and then she asks me what my favourite present from Ryan was. You know what I said?
MILK TEA.

When I arrived in NJ on my last trip, Ryan handed me a bottled milk tea drink.
He got me that drink when he was in Mitsuwa (a Japanese supermarket) the week before, and he knows that I love that particular drink. Yes, Ryan may give me nice things, but the best gift he can ever give me is his heart. I occupy his mind, and that's the greatest thing.

And yes, this is a barf blog, I still taste it in my mouth. (That's what she said)

Paranoid.

Ever have a feeling like you're forgetting something? That's the feeling I have. Since I'm pretty much done planning my pre-move things, it's the actual wedding planning I have to deal with. I'd like to think that we have the big things out of the way and booked, but for some reason, I have a nagging feeling at the back of my head that I forgot SOMETHING. So here I go, looking through all of my checklists, going through my notebook with all my wedding notes, going through all the receipts that I've had for the wedding, and you know what I realized?

I forgot to purchase my veil.
MY VEIL. Here I thought I didn't pay for my make up, or flowers, or my dress or something big and huge!
.... somebody just shoot me now. Put me out of my unorganized misery.


...please.

Hairy Situation

So, I don't really know what I'm doing with my hair. I want it to be up and romantic, but not too dramatic. I also have a thing with playing with my bangs, so I'd rather my hair be off my face so I don't fiddle with it. I don't like too structured looks and I don't like the look of your hair looking like it was soaked in gel.

Maybe I should just tie my hair up as if I'm about to play volleyball and call it a day?

Mommy.

Happy Mothers Day to my mommy, Ryan's mommy and all mommies out there.

lots of love.




PS. Planning a wedding in 3 months isn't as stressful as I thought it would be.
...unless I'm doing this wrong.

It's On.

Approval, check. Checklist, check.
We're getting married bitzes.

Hopefully I don't kill Ryan over the guestlist.

Too much advice.

You know what I want to say to people who ALWAYS say the grass is greener on the other side (as if that is the golden peice of advice they can give on marriage)?

Then water your lawn BITZ.




PS. If you think I'm funny, you gotta meet this guy. >> As Exciting As An Instruction Manual
