Insanely Busy

So we passed the four month mark till the wedding. I have been really busy with work and school, but the wedding is taking up most of my time. Honestly, I feel like if I get a B in one of my classes that I can handle it because wedding planning takes up so much of my time. I found a wedding band I really liked. My mom, Rod's aunt and I went out shopping 3 weeks ago. We went to several jewelry stores and finally we went to Finks. One of my mom's friends had recommended Finks. She said that they would find exactly what I wanted. She was right! They had just gotten in a ring that almost exactly matched my side stones :) I loved it! It was a size 6 so they said they would try to size it up and if not they would order it in my size. Well it was ready the next Sunday, but they called too late and Rod and I had already headed home for the day so I got it last Sunday. Well, when I picked it up it immediately looked funny, but my mom said it was ok. I didn't think so but I was like ok. Then on Monday I kept thinking about and thinking about it. When I got home I looked at it and when they resized the ring they had spread out the diamonds a weird way and I really didn't like it. They claimed to have a 90 day money back guarantee so I decided to press my luck and see what I could do. On Tuesday Rod and I went out to Ashburn for my mom's birthday :) We ran to the mall first so I could take back the ring. They were great. I told them I wasn't happy with the way it turned out and I wanted them to order it for me in my size. They said no problem, returned the ring, ordered me a new one, and when it arrives they will evenly exchange it. I hope it comes in time for my bridal shower so everyone can see it. Right now my focus has been on registering and ordering the shot glasses. I found a design that I like but the clip art on the website is funky and has someone elses name and you can't change it. I need to email them to see if they can change it for me. I still have to order the almonds, order the ring bearer and flower girl gifts, and I have decided to do a seating chart for the wedding so I need to get place cards. I found some that I like, but then I found these really pretty monogram ones so I need to figure out if I can make my own momogram ones. Last weekend my mom and I ordered our toasting glasses, our cake knife and server, and our cake topper with a matching picture frame. I really need to work on our fans because my mom would like to have people attending my bridal shower help cut out the fan pieces. We'll see if I get that done. I'm so busy with everything else and I need to call the church to get some of the information I don't have. We haven't met with the preacher yet either so we aren't even sure the exact program of the wedding. We did pick music when we were at our planning conference in December, but I didn't write anything down. We also got our engagement photos a few weeks ago and we need to decide which ones we are going to get because those need to be ordered soon too. Ahhh way to much to think about. During my work spring break which is in a week, my mom and I are going to be getting the invitations done. That is going to be so much work. We are getting the invitations out 3 months in advance so that we can get back our response cards because I have a lot of people on my B list that I want to be invited. I have also decided to make shirts for my wedding party. I know I'm crazy, but I thought it would be something cute :) I am going to order the shirts tomorrow. I hope they fit everyone. Once they come in, I'll have everyone try them on and if they don't fit I'll take them back. Another thing I need to start figuring out is what I want to do about bouquets. My mom and I are crazy and making them ourselves, but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do. I was thinking I wanted blue in my bouquet, but I'm not sure how I am going to accomplish that unless I find a color similar to my bridesmaids dresses. Their dresses have a purple tint to it. They are beautiful, but most flower blues will not match. Anyone have any ideas? I feel like I am missing little details about my wedding, but I hope not. If you can think of any little details brides overlook please, please, please let me know! Well, I better go. I'm getting up early tomorrow to go to my parents' house. My mom and I are going to go the gym. Then I might take a nap and then I'm going to pick Marissa up. We are going to have lunch and then go to play Bunko.....yay for seeing Marissa tomorrow. I haven't seen her in a few weeks. Anyway I hope all is well with everyone. I'll update everyone when I get another chance. Love you all!
