All the Little Things

A few days left, and most of the big stuff is done. Dress? Picking up today. Food? Done. Venue? All set. Rings? Reception? Cake? All set! Now it's just all the odds and ends. Who's doing what and when? Are the favor bags assembled? How much do we tip the caterer? I do event planning for a living, and it is still astounding to me how many different moving parts there are to a wedding, and how far in advance one has to start planning in order to have everything work out. I am so lucky that my mother has been a capable and willing partner in all this, and that my fiance' is extremely agreeable and willing to do whatever he is asked.

The rehearsal is tomorrow, decorating on Friday, and then we've arrived! Ten months of dreaming, scheming, planning, comparing, budgeting, agonizing, deciding, and finagling all coming to fruition. It's been such a lovely ride, and despite it sometimes seeming like a second full-time job, it's been incredibly fun and rewarding to have such an outlet for my creativity and such game collaborators to work with. Yay for Weddings, indeed!
