Sh...It's getting real!

Hello everyone!

For those of you who don't know, I've been in the midst of wedding planning for the better part of a year now and, well, the title is a pretty big clue on what this post is going to be about.

At the moment we're sitting at the four(ish)-months-until-the-big-day mark and I'm finding that things are slowly coming together as opposed to earlier this year when things still seemed a little surreal. I think some of it may have still felt "theoretical" because all we were doing was booking things and researching suppliers and all that. But this time around...this time there's physical evidence! There are props and dresses and shoes and rings. Guys! There are rings!

Let me just RSVP...

I had a somewhat epiphanic thought the other day and you know what it was?

It's not until you're older that you realise the real value of a sincere RSVP.

Let's start with the basics. 

RSVP stands for the French phrase "répondez, s'il vous plaît" which means "please respond". "In the context of social invitations, RSVP is a process for a response from the invited person or people" - Wikipedia. 

It doesn't mean "only respond if you're coming", it doesn't mean "reply when you feel like it" and it certainly doesn't mean "no RSVP means you're not coming".
