The Count Down is On

These past few months seem to have flown by! Here is a little update since December. I still am working at the Hospice House but instead of full time I am working just 32 hours. Meaning I'm just getting one extra day off within a two week period.
Wedding planning is coming along nicely. But now it is becoming crunch time. We have just 87 days till the Big Day so the count down is on! Mom and I have been non-stop talking about different wedding subjects every day! It is amazing what is all left to discuss after so much has already been planned! I had my first actual dress fitting this past Monday! It got me so excited to be in my dress again with it fitting to a tee and everything just coming together and looking wonderfully! In a couple of weeks I will be heading to Ft. Collins to meet up with my cousin who is in cosmetology school. She is going to be doing my hair for the wedding and will be doing a practice run when I see her.

The latest development on the wedding is the cake! I really wanted to do cup cakes with just a display cake but my mom found this cute cookie mold maker that is shaped as a daisy! So instead of cup cakes we will be doing cookies on a stick! I think it is going to be very cute for what I have planned with the set up. The display cake will be in the middle of the table but around the cake will be some sort of turf, fake grass, or green foam; then the cookie daisies will be stuck in the "grass" around the cake!
I have picked out all the flowers for the wedding a few weeks ago and had a meeting with our florist! I want them to feel like wild flowers with lots of greenery.




Of course we already have our place and reception where we are getting married.
Oh and exciting news! We got Phil measured and all of the men clothes picked out! They will be wearing grey pants, black suspenders, with of course black skinny ties. Phil will also be wearing a vest and a yellow skinny tie. Something sorta like these guys:
As far as other planning, well, it is coming along. Our invitations will be printed soon and so I will be writing out a bunch of addresses!
Not much else has happened in my life right now. It is pretty consumed with wedding planning, work, and sleeping!

  1. When Laura told me your wedding flower was the daisy. This brought back memories of my marriage to Richard, my primary flower was also the daisy. I still have the top tier of my cake (it is actual traditional fruit cake not a fake top)and also all the daisies that decorated the three tiers. I tried drying my main flowers but unfortunately they disintegrated over the years and did not survive our many moves.
