We are in the two digits!

According to the count down on our wedding website (www.ewedding.com/sites/najandmelissa) we have 86 days left until we say "I do". Najem's post was wonderful! He told me Monday night that he was going to write something on our blog, so on Tuesday morning I remembered and decided to read it while eating my breakfast. At first I was thinking..."Oh geez, this may be a gripefest" (which I would deserve), but then I started to cry into my cereal. I truly am fortunate to have found such a wonderful man, who loves me and isn't afraid to talk about it. I hope he has some kind words left for his vows...if I know him he will blow my vows out of the water. By the way if anyone has some key words or phrases I could throw into my vows, pass them along..he he. I should probably start writing them now, or I will never find the words once the pressure starts.

With school starting last week I haven't had a lot of time to work on the wedding, but I plan on making some appointments this weekend and booking the rentals. Najem went and looked at tuxedos this week with my dad and stepmom, and he looked handsome and a little bored. I put some of the pictures below. With each new decision, it seems more and more like a reality.... I am getting married!!!

Okay the stress may be starting

Yesterday Najem and I tried to accomplish the task of registering. I use the word "tried", because it was not a successful trip. Everything I mentioned to put on the registry according to Naj was either something we could get elsewhere cheaper or something we already had at home. After Target and Macy's we have a combined total of approx. 20 items on our gift registries...not sure this will be enough. The day ended with me getting upset because his attitude toward registering and he sat the remainder of the time at Macy's on a sofa..not productive. So, maybe we will try again another day or maybe Naj will start thinking of something he might want.

Possibly because of this unproductive day I had wedding nightmares last night. In my dream I forgot the flowers and decorations and in part of my dream I looked in the mirror and I had a messy, frizzy hairdo. We have four months till the big day..I surely hope this doesn't continue.

How did they do it?

Well most of the wedding party is set, the bridesmaids have dresses and the invitations are ordered. Thank goodness for the world wide web. How is it that years ago people planned weddings without the internet? With the use of technology I have a wedding blog, wedding website, wedding mapper, and have pretty much ordered every detail from the web. I couldn't imagine spending hours or days driving all over town looking for bridesmaid dresses or invitations. I just put what I am looking for into my handy search engine and HELLO a million links with pictures for me to look at. I wonder what the future holds for my children and their wedding planning, because I am pretty sure that my parents didn't use the internet to plan their wedding. So... although I have spent alot of my summer planning this glorious day, I really didn't leave the couch much and I like it!!

PS: The picture doesn't have anything to do with the wedding. I learned how to use a new program during my eMINTS training and wanted to show you how fun it is.
