In a little over a month, I'm getting married. I signed into theknot.com today to update some RSVPs we got this week and my heart skipped a beat when I saw that there are only 44 days until THE day. HOLY.
I feel pretty comfortable with where I am as far as wedding planning goes. I have taken care of most of the big stuff. There is still one thing on my "to do" list, and each week I transfer it over to a new "to do" list, but each week I put it on the back burner and don't get around to it. So, if you're planning on coming to my wedding, you better hope I cross it off my list or you're not gonna have any plates or champagne flutes at the wedding. Why haven't I crossed it off my list? Most likely because it involves making a phone call to someone and I just hate making phone calls. Especially when I'm at work all day and that would mean all of my co-workers in the cubes surrounding me would overhear my conversation and it would just be embarrassing to be arranging for dining ware for your wedding only 44 days out, right? I wouldn't want them to think that I can't handle it.
One of the things I'm most excited about is all of the fun arts & crafts projects I've got lined up for myself. It should be a good 'ol time at my house for the next 44 days. On the list of things I'll be working on:
Decorating the dozens of jars and bottles I've been collecting over the past couple of months:

Creating an escort card display similar to this:

While picking out a wedding dress and choosing on cake flavors is super fun, the things I'm looking forward to the most about getting ready for the big day are these little projects. There is finally an excuse to channel my inner Martha Stewart. I just need to get my office all set up upstairs and I can lock myself in that room for the next 44 days.
p.s. If you are coming to my wedding from out of town, DO NOT expect something fancy and lobster-cloth-bag-like to greet you upon your arrival into town. I'm going to make 'em cute, but there's no way in hell they make a bag like that for Dublin, Virginia.
