two weeks to go
check out the new sneak peek photos jocelyn put up our of recent engagement session! just click the next little picture under “jmathewes’ photostream” to see them all (it begins with photos you may have seen already).
with exactly two weeks to go until the wedding, you can imagine there’s been a LOT going on. well, there has been. up until today we’ve both been keeping pretty calm about the whole thing, but now we’re starting to panic a little more whenever we think about how all the details are going to come together in the end (i think i’m the one panicking a little more, though). i keep having dreams (nightmares?) where i just show up at the wedding and wonder if anyone will notice that nothing is actually done yet. i really don’t like that i’m so worried about it when, in reality, no one will actually notice if one shade of green perfectly matches another shade of green. in the end i really just want everyone to have a good time.
our officiant has written up a really great ceremony that speaks to how important art has been in bringing cory and me together. susan has been so understanding of exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted. i’m really excited for it. now we just need to finish (okay, start) our vows and the ceremony will be ready to go.
oh man, yesterday the best thing happened. we were at the thrift store looking for fabrics for the makeshift photo booth our photographer is helping us put together (found a beautiful yellow sheet and a green berry patterned sheet). i started looking around at the housewares section when cory called me over to the suits. there was an almost exact replica of his current wedding suit, except in a darker grey. when he put it on we realized it fit him even better than the suit he has right now (there’s something wrong with the shoulders that we were going to ask the tailor about tomorrow). we decided to buy the thrift store suit just in case. and why not? it was only TEN FREAKIN’ DOLLARS. it’s seriously perfect on him and it looks 100% brand new. we’d just need to get it dry cleaned. i hope he ends up wearing it. how cool would that be?!
other random things we’ve taken care of: picked up our marriage license, wrote out the reception’s timeline (we threw tradition to the wind to make sure we had as much non-stop dancing as possible), attended my make-up trial, set up an appointment with our caterer and site manager to finalize tiny details, set up an appointment at the salon for a hair trial, dropped off the wood slices and mason jars at our florist’s workplace, purchased a bunch of accessories for both cory and myself (we tried really hard to find items at our local antique stores but came up with nothing) and finalized program and menu card designs. i also put in a last-minute order for a custom clutch purse on etsy! it can be frustrating to find something exactly as you’ve imagined it, so getting it custom made is sometimes the best solution. it usually turns out to be cheaper anyway and you’ll end up being a lot happier with it.
as for the website: we got rid of the “local activities” section. that is just not gonna happen. sorry!
