48 days!

Our rehearsal dinner is all booked! ;)

I'm so excited. Our venue only does their rehearsals on Wednesdays and Thursdays so even though our wedding is on a Saturday our rehearsal/rehearsal dinner will be two nights before. I'm a little excited about this because it means that on Friday nothing is planned (except for nails) and that hopefully it'll be a very relaxed and stress-free day (?!). Hopefully...

So after our rehearsal on that Thursday we have reservations at Luciano's. It's an Italian restaurant and we have a private room that has its' own private patio. ;)

Yesterday I put together a list of all the "must-have photos" for our photographer. It's a really long list... like really long. Most of the list is comprised of all the different combinations of people for our formal pictures. But I wrote everything down because I don't want to forget ANYONE: like at my shower I don't have a single picture of me and my matron of honor! WHAT were we thinking?! Things get busy and you forget... honestly. So I don't want that mistake to happen at the wedding!

And I figured out all our ceremony music. I would have loved to have someone play the piano, guitar, violin, etc., but it's just not in our budget. So, I'm putting my faith into the iPod. ;)

I also scheduled my first fitting for Sunday, June 12th!

And in non-wedding related news... today I accomplished one of my 101 in 1001: Hike a mountain. Sean and I went to Mount Monadnock in NH and it took 4 hours to go from the bottom to the top and back down again. I didn't have tears... but I wasn't at my best either.

This is what I saw before we ventured up:


;) I remembered! And oh, I guess it really isn't non-wedding related. Whoops! Is anything you do actually non-wedding related when you're getting married in 48 days?!

Post wedding plans

Our wedding is soon. Two months from TODAY to be exact.

And the thing is... everyone keeps pointing that out and right after they ask "so, what are you going to do with all your time?!"

This wedding and being engaged has taken over my life for the past 19 months. NINETEEN months. Crazy?! I've thought about it [at least] every five minutes... for the better half of those 19 months and it even comes up in my dreams. I think about the day, my family, my dress, the flowers, our first dance, DIY projects, the hotel, our pictures, our cake, not falling, the weather, the ceremony, the kiss, the marriage license, the honeymoon, the decorations, the food, the bridal party, the rehearsal, the rehearsal dinner, transportation, makeup, hair, nails, shoes, jewelry, marriage, my something borrowed, our invitations, my shower, our thank you cards... get it?

Everything.

Somebody can say something completely unrelated to weddings and I'm somehow thinking about our photobooth. It's nuts. It really does take over -- in a totally positive and fun way, of course!

But the question of what I will fill my time up with after July 16th, is a good one.

And I think I have a partial answer. ;)

I really love blogging. I love reading blogs and I love writing on this one. So, even though I won't have a wedding to plan, talk about and obsess over after July 16th -- my blog name will still be valid because we'll still be Jasmine and Sean.

So I'm not planning on "going" anywhere.

And if you have a blog -- or read a number of blogs... you know that they take up a good amount of time! ;) So I'm not necessarily worried about filling up my post-wedding agenda.

Another thing I've added to my blog in preparation of continuing to blog after our wedding is the 101 in 1001 challenge. I loved the idea when I read about it and thought it would be fun to start today: May 16, 2011 (2 months or 61 days before my wedding). If you haven't already -- you should start your own! ;)
