Well, I finally feel as though this wedding is real. I know I may have said that to some when I picked out my dress... but we are now going to formally announce to the world (or rather, the guests who we are intending to invite to this wedding) that it's happening and that they must "Save The Date" for the affair!
It's kinda strange... all this time, it's been a thing, in the future, that just seemed so far away. And now, as we round the corner to the holidays... it is becoming more and more evident that I have to put away my "I've got plenty of time" motto and use one more along the lines of, "wow, I have a lot to do to start pulling this thing together."
Granted, there still is a "lot" of time, 7 months. That's 28 weeks. But I've watched my dear friend Lauren's wedding unfold for the past 7 months... and I have to say, once she hit about 5.5 months... that is when the chaos ensued.
So last night Mom and I decided to go forward with the Save The Date magnets. And I'm psyched because I think they're really cool, and since we're debating on non-personalized favors, at least this is something a little more personal. So, I'm going to order them within the next few days, and hopefully have them out by Thanksgiving. So it will be official! No turning back! Haha!
The other wedding-related thing about which I am ECSTATIC is that I put down a deposit on our honeymoon!!! We are going to Sandals Regency St. Lucia, for 6 nights. I am so excited... everything I've heard about this resort is positive, and everyone who has been to St. Lucia says it's fantastic. I was debating between Antigua and St. Lucia (mostly because of $) but ultimately decided that St. Lucia seemed like more fun. And our resort is just awesome. Check it out:

Other than that, I'm taking the 'maids to The Wedding Touch in Malvern in a few weeks so we can make a final (!!!!!) decision on their dresses. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time... I mean they're all beautiful, so it's just a matter of figuring out what will look best on everyone, and what goes best with the decor of the day.
So slowly but surely, these decisions are presenting themselves and I'm dealing with them. And I feel like I'm on a good pace... I have all of the big stuff out of the way, more or less, and have been accumulating ideas for the smaller stuff as I go along. We're getting married, YAY!!!! ;)
