Update: My coworker just sent me this link.  I’ve ALWAYS wanted a marching band at my wedding-and this just proves I’m not totally nuts for respecting Ole Miss football season while planning the wedding!

 So 1 week ago right now I was a girlfriend, and now I’m a fiancee.  Wow.  It’s been a busy week hence no blogging (plus there’s something special about that last blog )-lots of phone calls (I keep loosing my voice!), e-mails, hugs, smiles, and so forth.  Not to mention that I spent all of Monday night into the wee hours of Tuesday morning I spent praying for some narcotics.  Apparently I caught a stomach bug and if you know me, you know that my stomach is already sensitive enough.  The boy thought I was already stressing about the wedding (which I kinda was, I mean, I’m waiting for the friggen SEC to finalize their d*amn schedule) and so I was kinda pleased to prove that I wasn’t in fact stressing until I was ill but rather ill.  However, that ended about 1am.  Anywho, here I am now w/ my list of some things I’ve learned this week:

1.) Friends who are on bedrest and in “only breathtaking labor” (HA!) rock b/c they send you great web sites along w/ plotting against dumb residents.

2.) It’s really really hard not to be THAT girl.  Therefore, we have a safe word that has been instituted both at home and work. 

3.) Guest lists are Catholic-they reproduce by simply looking at them.

4.) I like sparkely things

5.) “Just enjoying” and not planning for the first few weeks is simply not in me–oh, I’m enjoying it all right.  But let’s face it, I’m a planner for God’s sake.

6.) Plantation homes are just that-homes-and therefore require some sort of other space for a reception.  By other I mean a tent, which is a no-go.  See #7.

7.) Be careful what you promise your father at age 14.  In my case, we had (2) weddings back-to-back (one I was in, one just attending) that were both outdoors and in both cases there was a lot of stress due to weather.  Poppy said “You can have anything you want as long as it’s inside”.  Me-”ok”.  Doh!  That said, I can’t really have “anything” i.e. my hanging drapes with uplighting

8.) I still get a kick outta the pricing even though I do this everyday.  I mean seriously, $6,000 just so there’s a mansion in the background but you have to pay for the tent and everything else?  HAHAhhahahhahahahahhahahah

9.) I’m pretty lucky to be marrying into a family that I already love.

10.) My finace….there are no words.  But I won’t get sappy, not yet anyway.  I’ll just say that I LOVE the excel spreadsheet he’s created w/ “goal attendance”…a man after my own heart.

11.) My friends.  My dear dear friends. 

I am so blessed.
