It's pretty crazy that we've been engaged and planning our wedding for as long as we have been -- but I just went to The Knot and was notified that we have 98 days left.
Ninety-eight! That's double digits! We started with more than 450 days (I think)... and we only have 98 days left. =)
This week, I picked up my invitations and I have to say -- I didn't love them, at first.
(I'm not posting pictures, yet!)
When I chose them, I remember being in awe and pretty positive that they were "the ones". And when I got the proof I was really sure that I loved them. But when I got them on Thursday -- I was really disappointed.
But I've been looking at them for [now] the past 2 days (I couldn't post about this earlier, because I was so sad)... and I guess they're growing on me.
At first, I was upset about the coloring and the actual "layout" of the invitation. I thought I was getting something a little different than the sample invitation... but when they came they were identical to the one the place showed me -- and my disappointment just grew.
I didn't cry but if Sean wasn't with me I probably could have! He just kept saying, "
they're great!" and "
I like them!" and I was all, "
yeah, but you don't LOVE them!" and he was all, "
well, they're just invitations..."
& I guess it's true.
But basically before I stuff, address and stamp all these babies... I need to have a serious "chopping" and possibly "matting" session. Which will be fine, I just didn't expect having to do it.
I'm sure they'll end up looking great and the way I want them.
I hope.
And if not, I'll just keeping repeating "well, they're just invitations" over & over [& over again] until I believe it. =)
