Nine Days Left

Posted on by Jordan

And here is what we have managed to knock out as of late:

  • Marriage license 100% ready
  • We know when all our wedding party are getting into town
  • Have a tentative plan for the time leading up to the wedding, although we haven’t written it down and shared it with anyone yet
  • Rehearsal dinner is squared away, every one’s orders are in and the place is ready for us
  • The final contact with the bakery is done, meaning we shouldn’t need to worry about the cake

Heather and I were suppose to meet with our pastor to go over the final plans for the rehearsal tonight. That got canceled last minute, when he became a grandfather! I don’t know many details beyond that, and its really not my news to publish, but it’s still exciting. It does set us back a little in getting our ducks lined up, but in this case Heather and I were happy to be bumped to a different day.

Less Than Two Weeks Left!

Posted on by Jordan

The wedding is really getting close now, and I feel like my head is spinning. People ask “are you ready” meaning both personally and planning-wise, and I always say yes. I am ready personally, and I always think we are on top of the planning.

However, personally, I don’t really know if I have grasped the changes that are coming… I am pretty sure some of the best parts of being married I don’t even understand well enough to look forward to them. I am also sure the biggest adjustments are going to be much harder than I imagine, and center around issues I didn’t even know it was possible to consider issues. All that said, I can’t wait.

From a planning details perspective, we are ready… Except that there is a never-ending stream of little things that keep popping up. I can’t even begin to enumerate, or quantify everything. All I can say is that it feels like time is screaming by every time I try and sit down and take care of a few of these “quick” last-minute details. As best as I can tell, Heather and I are still managing to stay fairly normal, although we are both running on about half as much sleep as we should be getting. I can tell you we still love each other, although we may find each other much more lovable in about 3 weeks.

I feel compelled to try and write out some of the details I keep eluding too, but I really want to go lay down instead, and writing about them just makes them seem that much more of a big deal. They don’t need to be made into any more of a big deal 🙂
