wedding. stress.

Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! D and I enjoyed the Arizona sun with family and it couldn’t have been better. We had a family bridal shower and it was just amazing, it’s wonderful to have supportive and thoughtful family! Now I am on the hunt for some cute thank-you cards to write those notes out!

Guess what arrived this weekend? My garter :) I went with a simple white garter, I thought about finding one that had to do with the Navy (D is in the Navy) but the ones I found were a little cheesy and not exactly ‘classy.’ Very exciting that we’re getting closer- hard to believe it’s already December! June 4th will be here before we know it!

I don’t know if any other brides-to-be feel the same way, but sometimes I get really anxious/stressed out (like keep me up at night) by the fact that yes, I do have 6 months before my wedding but I don’t feel like I’m doing/planning enough. I would just HATE for my wedding day to get here and look back and say "I wish I would have done this, I wish I would have thought of that…” I just want it to be perfect and I’m really not much of a detail oriented person, so in the back of my mind I know there are really important things I’m going to mess up. (There- that was the wedding rant/fear of the day!) I guess I just need to keep focused and busy and pray that it all goes smoothly.

D and I will be in Texas for Christmas, which is great because that’s where we are getting married and we need to finalize a few details. Something I’m semi-stressing out about is our rehearsal dinner. We have 18 people combined in our wedding party (thanks to myself being in a sorority and D attending the Academy), as well as their fiancés, our family members, etc. It just makes for a big party and I know I need to spend just as much time spending that as the actual wedding. Hopefully I’ll come up with some good/fun ideas soon!

Happy Monday everyone!
