Wedding Planning Weekend

I flew home for a fast and furious weekend full of wedding planning.  My mom and sister were such troopers!  I met with florists, the hair salon, ordered the tuxes, reviewed the ceremony outline with Pastor Joe, decided how to decorate the church, visited with my dear friend Mandy, set up table centerpieces, and worked on many other smaller wedding details.  Here's a sneak preview:

We also practiced the reception layout in the back yard.  It took all 4 of us to use 4 tables and 10 chairs and dozens of tennis balls to simulate the real deal.  Dad commented that this was his favorite part of the wedding planning so far!  It was a good couple of hours of physical labor.

In the 72 hours I was home, it wasn't all wedding planning.  We did manage to watch a chick flick, clean out my bedroom closet with several bags for Goodwill, and go for a bike ride.  Like our matching sister shirts?

After this weekend, I feel much better about the whole planning process.  Everything is coming together quite nicely, and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm so excited for the weekend, the special rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself!  Thanks family for all of your love and support with the crazy amount of planning!
