My Fourth Confession!

I have yet another confession to make...

I am SCARED TO DEATH to walk down the aisle!!!

Let me make myself clear...

1. I am so very happy to (almost) finally be married to my (future) husband.

2. I am so excited to finally have the wedding day I have been planning for.

3. Just thinking about the cake, dancing, flowers, family, friends, etc. makes the butterflies in my stomach start to flutter.

However,

The idea of everyone looking at me all at once scares the pants off of me!  What if I cry?  What if I sneeze?  What if I fart? What if I get so consumed with everyone else looking at me that I forget why I am here?  What if I laugh (which I often do when I am nervous)?  What if I drop my bouquet?  What if I trip and fall on my face?  And my nose bleeds onto my new, expensive, white dress...?

Wait.  This is ridiculous.  I am probably going to come through those doors with my dad, see Josh, and forget that everyone else is there.  I will be so happy that I am walking toward my future husband that I will have a huge, genuine smile on my face and be so excited to marry my best friend.

...just pray that I don't trip.

My Third Confession: RSVP Horror

My RSVPs were due 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Here are the trials and tribulations of RSVP horror:

I am still missing a bunch of them.

We had more than one of our guests RSVP with people who were not invited to the wedding.  For instance, we would send an invitation to a family of four, and the RSVP would say '6 attending'.

One person sent in two RSVPs--both said the exact same thing.  Still not exactly sure how they got two invitations in the first place...

Recently I ran into 3 people who hadn't sent their RSVPs.  I assumed they weren't coming until they said, "Oh, I can't wait for your wedding!"  I guess they will be there...



My confession:  This makes me insane!  

And I thought my situation was bad... until I searched online and found these RSVP Horror Stories:

We are having a formal plated dinner and have gotten back two RSVP's with no names at all... just post marks from cities we didn't even send invites to! Now how do you figure that out?!?

I received an R.S.V.P with no name, no return address, just no checked on the invitation

I’ve had people write 6-8 on the number of attending even though it says 2 reserved. Now that is just plain rude.

Our big RSVP issue is since we are having 3 meal choices we asked people to put their initals next to their meal choice. About half the ones we have gotten back just have “x” or checks next to the choices so we have no idea who wants what, unless they want the same thing.

At my niece's wedding, four families (with kids, in-laws, and even boyfriends and girlfriends and dates!!!) showed up when they didn't RSVP. One family showed up uninvited!

 I guess it could always be worse...

My Second Confession

I am spending WAY too much time and effort in the place cards.

I just kept getting more and more ideas and I couldn't stop myself.  I honestly think my DIY place cards are going to be the biggest project of the wedding!!!

I will post pictures and updates later... then you will see how crazy I am!

My First Confession

I have a long list of wedding confessions.  Today I will confess just one.

I WANT CORNY WEDDING PHOTOS!

I have always thought that the following wedding pictures were just corny!  Who wants a picture of people jumping?  It's just silly and unnatural.  See below:

But aren't they SOOO cool?!?!  I have put together a few of my favorite corny wedding photos that I found online.  Would I be a total dork if I wanted to recreate some of these...?   Probably.  Oh, well.

**Sorry for the blurriness of some of these!

These make me want to go out and buy a million huge frames to get ready! :-)
