And in case you don't notice, I have crossed off a lot of things (and used a lot of different colors!). I'm slowly but surely getting things done, and it's truly an amazing thing. I even gathered a bag full of things to send to the woman who is arranging my fake flowers for all my bridesmaids. She needs those pins and that raffia for the boutineers and corsages!
I'm making head way. And feeling more and more the crunch of time to get things done. There are a few things that I've had done for months, like the head bands that I plan on giving my bridesmaids, flower girls, and my Beloved's younger sisters.
I love that those were done, when my Big Sisters surprised me at my Wedding Shower, I got to put my little niece Ada Bug in her head band. She loved it. She's very excited to be a flower girl, and I must say, I'm excited to have her in it. For the rest of her life I can show her pictures and say, "See, see how cure you were in Aunt Maddie Poo's wedding?" She might hate me for it, but it's still gonna happen.
Today was dedicated to painting my Sign In tree. Instead of going with the traditional book, I decided to make a tree, where people can put their thumb prints at and make leaves for our tree. If I can opt for artwork to make for my future house you'd better believe that I'm doing it! I did this tree once already, and hated it so much that I decided to do it again. This time, I started with the words I knew I wanted on it, and then worked around it.
I've never been very good with calligraphy (shocking, I know) but I decided to give it a whirl for this project, and even though it took me almost an HOUR to just paint words, I powered through. And in the end, the Sign In Tree looks awesome, and I can't wait for people to add their thumbprints to fill our tree.
As I've been going through this wedding planning process, I've been trying to blog/write about it. Mainly because everyone keeps telling me that you don't really remember everything about your wedding, all the small details. My mom wants me to write about it more than I already do! (Don't tell her, but as much as I love her, she's more Bridezilla than me...and I decided that that's a good thing, because then, I get things done!) But here I have this wonderful blog to look back on read about the wedding planning (and a few things that happened in between) and how much I kinda really enjoyed it. My wedding is very much a reflection of who I am, and hopefully who my Beloved is. (Men really just don't care I'm finding out) I want people to feel the love that we have for one another, for our Lord, and for our families.
And really, this is the most amazing God Art of it all, that we can know love, that we can share love, that He loves us.
"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these is love."
but the greatest of these is love."
-1 Corinthians 13:13
