Day 158: A day of odds and ends

Before mom and I hit the wet Jacksonville roads with a mission to knock out more wedding to-do's, I decided to let you all know what the day will hold.... since, after all, you ARE part of the journey! :-)

Today, we'll be scouting out places to rent TREES from.... yep, that's right, trees! I came up with an idea for decorating while I was on the plane flying back from my cousin's wedding in Kansas two weeks ago. In order to accomplish it, I need about 15 palms to rent. ;-) It's gonna be AWESOME! I'm not going to spoil it too much though....... just wait and see!

We'll also be reserving a handful of rooms for the many out-of-town relatives that will be joining us for the big day! I'm so excited and floored that so many of my relatives are coming in town.... I definitely wouldn't want to get married without them here though, so it works out perfect. I'm very blessed to know they'll be here!

I need to nail down the flowers too. Maybe that'll be today..... maybe not. I'm not looking forward to that- though I AM looking forward to nailing it down and being done with that big decision.

This morning I worked on the invitation wording... every time I look at it, or the vows, I get all mushy inside and even more excited, but ridiculously emotional to be totally honest! Hehe. I'm such a girl! It didn't help that as I straightened my hair this morning I put the song that I'll be walking down the aisle to on repeat...
Oh, yeah, that's right, I haven't told you all yet... I will not be walking down to the traditional wedding march. Props to everyone who did, but it's definitely not my taste ;-) To anyone this might offend that will be there, this should give you plenty of time to prepare yourself!!!! haha.

Well, that's all I've got for now. Here's to an afternoon of spending money, accomplishing tasks, and driving..... yippee!! ;-)

  1. I love anti-traditional aisle songs! They make the ceremony so much more meaningful.

    (well, at least in my opinion lol)

  2. I didn't walk down the aisle to the traditional march...I think its dated I walked to Micheal W. Smith's acoustic " Freedom" It was awesome and we walked out to the beginning of Stephen Curtis Chapman's " Saddle up your Horses". My Dad and step-mom walked out to that song and I thought it fitting to add a little of their wedding into ours
