things are fun/crazy/busy as usual. work sucks for both of us, but its only temporary, we've been discussing where we want to move after the wedding, throwing around ideas. wedding stuff is slowly but surely getting done. we have our venue and photographer booked. we met with our videographer last night, she's adorably japanese and we cant wait to work with her. nick's dad is paying for our dj as our engagement gift, which was nice, and we need to get in touch with him soon. asked dominique to forward me matt's info so we can ask him about being our officiant but i guess she's busy. figured out the flowers i want, anemones, they're gorgeous, but not traditional. gonna cost a pretty penny, but so far this whole wedding thing is. have some ideas about my dress, nothing sets in stone tho, i plan on looking in july/august/september and try things on because i'm trying to eat better and exercise and shit like that. have an idea for dresses for the bridal party, again, just need to go shopping. nick has no idea what he wants to wear, whether its a suit or a tux. i personally hate tuxes but its his day too and he can wear whatever he wants. found our invitations on etsy, they're great but not everyone likes them, oh well, we do.
i have a countdown clock at home and one at work because i ended up with two, and everyday i'm reminded of how close the wedding really is. it felt like it was yesterday when we were two years away, now we're less than 14 months; thats insane. been trying to work on our guest list, thats also insane. we only wanted 180, we're up to a few over 200. we have too many friends i guess, lol, plus giving them all a plus guest, adds up. i just hope we dont have to give people plus guest but with restrictions (cant bring this one or that one) as terrible as this sounds, i kinda hope some family cant make it. extended of course, but thats how the number got so high, because if you invite this one, you have to invite him him and him, it gets out of control. i need to get a list together of things i still need to do. still need to meet and discuss shit with the florist, block hotel rooms, figure out linens and chair stuff, all the loose ends need to be tied and then it'll be time to finalize everything. its so crazy how quickly it all seems to happen, but nicks great and always willing to help.
anyway, now its time to watch tv with nick and go to bed early, i'm finally able to work some overtime again so i'm raping that for all its worth.
