we’re going to the chapel…::
Okay, that part won’t be for a few months. but, we’re knee deep in planning.
There is such a sense of satisfaction when we are able to check something off our list (okay, this hasn’t happened much yet). But, we did order the save the dates today. Most are going out via email, but we did print some for our not-so-technologically saavy friends and family.
I’m pretty lucky to be marrying a graphic designer, because they’re pretty sweet! I’m trying to not to show them off too much yet…but I’ve totally caved under pressure and sent them to a few people.
AND (okay, this is really exciting), we took our first round of engagement photos last weekend. I really wanted to do them, and as we looked at photographers, even here, it seemed totally out of the question. There’s no way we could have paid a couple hundred dollars for photos. But, our lovely friend Jace agreed to take the photos with Marc’s SLR. Between her mad skills and Lightroom, we have some rad photos! We have a few more ideas, so maybe we’ll go out again tomorrow.
Sometimes 129 days (and counting…) feels like a lot and sometimes it’s totally overwhelming. I know (and hope) that the next few months are going to fly by.
