Okay, so as November continues to pass us by there is one thing that has been lurking in the back of my mind that has quite literally just turned into one giant neon sign flashing urgently at me over and over again...and will probably continue to do so until the event is over.
THREE MONTHS UNTIL THE WEDDING!
Holy sh*t, guys. Where I was once ever so blasé about it all has now been replaced by me listing out every Single F*cking Thing that still needs to be done annnd then freaking out about it.
So here I am doing what I usually do when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm writing it all out and taking a moment to bask in the ever-faithful cathartic effects that writing always gives me. Even though it may one day turn into a job that is both torturous and rewarding, I won't ever deny that there are times when it feels gooooood.
In saying that though, I'm so sad that I'm not participating in Nanowrimo this year. Watching all my writer friends meet their word count goals and mull over plot points and characters makes me so jealous and at the same time resigned to the fact that I am dreaming if I think I can write 50k this month on top of everything else. Ha! Ambitious is I. But even though I'm not participating, I'm still trying to squeeze in a few words here and there. I've been unsuccessful the past few days, if you call a few hundred words 'unsuccessful', but this blogpost will definitely perk my writing muscles up, I hope.
This month, as the wedding begins to loom over us all (me. Loom over me), I've started to really get into the DIY aspects of it all. (Don't ask me what I was thinking, I must've been crazy when I decided to undertake all of this haha. But, alas, I'm too poor for a stylist). Anyways, I got this. Centrepieces and decorating and florals. Let's just say that I've been doing a lot of reading. From, "Why the Bride's name always precedes the Groom's on wedding invitations" to "different types of paper" to "what is GSM". Not to mention all the reading I've done about wedding flowers and types of bouquets and, guys, how many of you can tell me what a flat back is, aye? For the record though, it's not all 'panic-mode', freaking out. There's a lot to do but I haven't minded working on the details. Stressed, yes, but I have accepted the fact that these last couple of months of planning are crucial and should be dedicated to the details (that people probably won't notice but, whatever). It would make my day even if only one person came up to me to tell me that they saw some tiny little detail at the wedding which they thought was cool.
By the way, another thing that deserves a special mention in today's blogpost is the date! Seven years ago today was when we became official. I still remember it like it was yesterday! (Well, not quite yesterday, maybe, like, last year or something). We had a room at the Star and spent the weekend chillin' with each other and doing all the touristy things that all couples do in the city. We had Pancakes on the Rocks (in Darling Harbour) because it was a time when we weren't old and our metabolisms could literally work through anything. Now, seven years later, it's all about trying to always watch what you eat, bla bla bla saladtasteslikenothing #adulting. We've come a long way since then but I'm so glad that we still enjoy a lot of the same things that we used to do, like going to the movies and exploring the city and eating.
This isn't going to turn into a romantic spiel but I'm totally adding photos at the end of this.
Lastly.
Wedding Related Things That Have Happened Since the Last Post:
1. Designed, printed and delivered/mailed (some) wedding invitations
2. Completed and launched wedding website
3. (Finally) discussed the (low key) hens weekend and made some plans
4. Suited up the groomsmen
5. Fitted the groomsmen
6. Shoed the groomsmen (lol)
7. Started on the props (I won't mention which ones because some people might enjoy the experience of seeing them for the first time later, ya know?)
8. Locked in the florist! (Which I am most happy about).
It's only going to get busier from here and the anxiety is real but so is air. I just need to remind myself to breathe.
