100 Days!

Thursday was 100 days to go until the wedding! Keep in mind we started at 1,001 so getting down to 100 is a BIG deal! I had a little help capturing the 100 day milestone.



Before this oh-so-important day, mom and I visited Crowder to discuss flowers. We had a good ol' time with Corny and LeeAnn. It was also wonderful to check some things off the horror story of a to do list I have.




The morning of the 100 days-apalooza, Corny and I headed to Galveston to meet with the ladies at Atmosphere salon. It's super cute and everyone was really nice. I got the recommendation from Valerie, whose wedding I helped with last month.

After the salon visit, we picked up Corny's bridesmaids dress from Houston Bridal Gallery, who I recommend highly over that stupid head of a place they call Brickhouse! Her dress looked absolutely presh!


After lunch with Kelly, we finished the day with an even more exciting event. The end of an era. The premier of the final Harry Potter film! It was fantastic!

Buttercream

So we decided to use the new cake lady in Dickinson, Just Cakes by Sesame House. She is so sweet and her stuff is so cute. So Brian and I picked up our samples for a tasting. And by samples, I mean three big ass chunks of cake. We tried chocolate, red velvet, and white.


We decided to go with just white on white for the cake since we will other flavors for other desserts.
The drawing she did of the cake looked great. Hopefully it will look that great on the wedding day!

Wedding Stress...it's for real!

So, I am seriously considering postponing or reconstructing this whole big wedding. Honestly, I don't know how much more I can handle. It's not fun and I have yet to feel like a bride. I don't mind planning my own showers, that's super fun for me, but when it's not really about MY wedding it's about "is Meme still wearing the 40 year old dress?" "What do you mean my kids can't come to the wedding?" and the newest fun one "well I didn't think the No Kids Rule applied to me." Yep, I'm pretty much done after that. I'm so tired of these looks like I'm some kind of kid hater! I promise, I'm not! It's quite the opposite actually. But no matter how much I love these kids, I still don't think a formal reception is a place for children! Why is that so ridiculous? And then my bridesmaids. Most of them don't even know what day it is. Joey volunteered to take over the bachelorette party, which is a big relief because that is out of my league and would just be embarrassing if I planned my showers and the bachelorette party. But luckily, Joey is excited to be in the wedding. Courtney is most days. Stacy is so tired of hearing or doing anything wedding related I don't even think she cares to be a bridesmaid, let alone Maid of Honor. And Jill, let's not forget about Jill. I'm at the point now where most jokes about the wedding aren't funny. Especially when you threaten to bring kids in and have them run across the dance floor during my first dance. Jill, who also has no idea what day the wedding is, would probably rather be ANY place rather than there that day.
This is just not fun. I don't feel like the bride. I feel like a bridesmaid/wedding planner. But definitely NOT a bride. I'm thinking just keep the wedding at the church and a small reception nearby with dancing and drinking with just close family and friends. None of the 3rd cousin twice removed shit or my tennis friend's daughter. Guess I better figure it out quick!
