Emphasis on the will. I have not written about this much, even though at the moment it occupies most of my free time. I’ve mentioned before what an incredible procrastinator I am. I think my wedding perfectly exemplifies this. I have been engaged for one and a half years and of that time the amount of it that has been spent planning my wedding is a whopping one week with a measly two months to go. With this much time left it’s all people talk about with me. “Are you excited? When is it? Have you got everything ready? Do you have cold feet?” The last question being, of course, the most annoying, if not intrusive. Despite that, the planning that I have done has got me pretty excited.
We picked out a cake. We made an appointment with Edda’s Cake Bakery before we left for vacation. I hadn’t tried them, but I’d heard some great things from my friend Christine. They made a cake that looked like a couture bag for a friend of hers and apparently, not only was it beautiful, it was also very delicious. So we went and they brought out a tray with a vast array of cake flavors like piña colada and amaretto. We ended up going with Vanilla Rum. It is just incredibly tasty. We gave them a picture of a cake design we liked and discussed a couple of changes here and there. I was suspecting to pay a lot more than I did. I am predisposed to thinking that weddings are just big giant pains in your pocket, but Edda’s pleasantly surprised me.
We also got the design for our wedding invitations done or mostly done. We had at first planned on designing it ourselves, but with the way things were going we could not really count on us. Pathetic, I know, but we were forced to be brutally honest with ourselves. I searched designs on Etsy for a while and found several contenders. Ultimately I went with Vohandmade and her Twisting Thorn design. I loved its simplicity and cleanliness. I also must mention how incredibly wonderful working with this vendor was. So accommodating, and fast. I loved this experience and would recommend her to anyone. The design is now all done, a little different than the original, but with the same simple and clean look. We just need to find a printer and they should be in the mail in about two weeks.
Other than that, while not as imperative to the wedding, but still pretty damn fun, was building the wedding registry at Target. Still, there is a lot more to go. We haven’t figured out food yet, and we need to find a place to rent tables and chairs from, but it’s all coming together very nicely. O, yes, and I need a wedding dress. I actually did just forget about that for a minute…
