It's getting close and we're tying up some loose ends!

So, here we are not too far from the wedding. I am getting more and more excited and more and more nervous all the time! I'm not at all nervous about who I am marrying, but I am nervous about everybody watching me and having to talk in front of that many people, while probably crying (but hopefully not the "ugly cry"!!! Y'all know what that is.....scrunched up face, squinty eyes, snot....sorry, had to throw that in there)!!! It just makes me, well, nervous!

Anyways, one of the issues I have had with this wedding the entire planning process is the ceremony music. Adam and I are trying to "budget", cut corners where we can. We were going to just use an IPOD for the music and have one of the video guys he works with control it during the ceremony since they have a lot of technical experience. Well, this has never really settled well with me and it has never been set in stone that they would do this. It has always kind of been up in the air. I don't find IPOD's that easy to use when you have to be so precise with it, such as fading in and out songs, finding the right song right away, starting and stopping on point. So, after much uneasiness, we decided to go with a string trio. You can check them out at briandeyo.com. We are really excited. It is not your normal string trio in that there is a classical guitar thrown in rather than two violins or a violin and viola. So, it consists of the violin, classical guitar, and cello. I liked that this was a little different from the mainstream, but still beautiful and classic. I am feeling much more comfortable about it now!!!

Adam and I hope to have the invitations out next week. I love that I keep saying "Adam and I". Y'all know I mean "I". LOL.....he just hasn't had much time to help, although, when under the gun, he did come through with FINALLY getting the addresses he needed to get together. So, for that I am happy. I do plan on putting him to more work after Sunday when the season is over!!!

We have many showers scheduled in January. I believe it's at four now!!! We are so blessed to have so many friends and family who want to help us out during this incredible time in our lives. We feel so honored!!! God has truly shown us how caring people can be and for that we are so grateful.

Until next time.............WHO DEY!!! :-)

WOW!

Sorry I haven't updated lately, but I will do better, I promise!!! I do have a bit more news to share, so I will do that when it is not 11:30 pm and I do not have to get up at 5:30 am!!!! But, just wanted to say that the wedding is two months from today! How times flies! I am so excited to marry my best friend. He is truly an amazing man. AND, he will get to help me with wedding stuff more in one week! He had his last away game today and the last game of the season is next week, so our time together will not be so sporadic and filled with him falling asleep! I can't wait!!! :-)
