Where did the time go? (70 days until the wedding)

Shannon C, on March 5, 2011 at 6:03 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

The time has just flown, it seems. We're down to just 70 days til the wedding and I'm so excited.

-

We've managed to pay on things as we went and now find that we can add in a few extras that we thought would be out of our budget. We'll be getting e-pics done next weekend and we saw our florist last night and have added some extra flowers for the ceremony. We were able to book a honeymoon (something we thought we'd have to skip) and will be camping at the beach for a week.

It all seems to be coming together. Yesterday, our invitations came in and they're gorgeous. I will have my final fitting on Wednesday for my wedding outfit and it should be ready to take home. A week or so ago we got gifts for our wedding party. I'm so excited!!! And if that weren't enough...we both got new iPhones as well. Life is good!!!

    @Carol - Thanks. We'd talked about taking a cruise, but they run a pretty penny. We were able to book a spot at the beach for a week for only $185. We'll still have to buy food and pay for any entertainment, but at the beach, the sand, sun, and surf are the cheapest and most popular entertainment there is. And since we've only slept in our new camper for one night before the weather turned too cold and we had it winterized, it's about time to get it properly broken in.

    @Shannon....Your honeymoon sounds like perfection to me! Camping on the beach will be awesome. Having a camper makes it quite comfy. As you said, the entertainment doesn't get any better!

    Tell me about it! There are only 15 days to go until my son's wedding. But I think your wedding and honeymoon will be great!

    @ Kathy- I'd post pics, but it won't let me from my iPhone.

    @Carole B- you got that right.

    You're right, Meg. The time really will just fly by. We got engaged January 5th, 2010 and it's hard to believe it's down to just 69 days now. Yikes is right, but in a good way!

    @Shannon C: I'm not sure even they know how much they have gotten done. Both bride and groom essentially said they didn't have time to plan. Two friends of my daughter's, who are in the bridal party, just took over planning for them. They seem to be doing a great job, particularly with virtually no direction from bride or groom. I am just hoping my son and his FI will be properly appreciative.

    Wow again! I can't imagine letting others plan such a big day without me being more involved. But....if they feel comfortable with that then that's awesome. I hope it's the wedding of their dreams. Post some pics for us if you can.
