FINALLY!


We finally got the invitations. It's been a long time coming. We've been looking at invitations since December! And our invitation company was a little bit of a nightmare. They're located in Bombay. Everything is slower over there. And then they had to send them here. They were supposed to get here last weekend. But, whatever, they are here and that's all the matters.

There is one other thing: They don't really look anything like what I thought they were going to look like!
The company sent us a photograph about three weeks ago (now displayed on the right side of this blog entry). I loved the invitation in the photograph. The invitations we got don't look like that. They're nice, don't get me wrong, but I was really surprise to get 150 invitations that I'd never seen before! It was pretty hilarious.

I feel pretty...oh so pretty!

Well, not yet, but soon! Ladies and gentlemen I have finally booked a hair and makeup person. Well, I'm going to try her out in a couple weeks, but I've heard very good things about her. My wedding planner used her for her wedding! I think that's a good sign.
So Walker and I are heading to DC for a marathon wedding weekend soon. We're doing cake, caterer, alcohol, makeup you name it. And then when we get back the invitations will have arrived (FINALLY! Do yourself a favor, when you get married, don't have your invitations made in India. Yes, the pricing is very reasonable, but it's just not worth it. Because instead of taking two days to do something, it takes two WEEKS! And that ain't cool. Thank goodness for Gobind Nankani! Without his persistence, at this point, I'd probably be frantically scribbling invitations on construction paper with a crayon)
And then we're going to labeling invitations like its our job. And then he's off to Martha's Vineyard for a show! And I will already be in rehearsal for my show so it only gets more complicated from here!
By the way, I'm signing up volunteers if anyone is interested.
At least the bachelorette party is soon. Less than a month away!
And I think for our honeymoon we are going to Athens and some Greek Islands so I have that to look forward to too!
Ahhhhhh!
