30 days and counting!

Today is September 13th and this time next month I am going to be a WIFE.

Holy. Cow.

We had our Walk Through with our wonderful vendors today at the Atlanta Botanical Garden where the reception will be held. Our florist, our caterer, and our wedding planners were all in attendance as well as my parents. Unfortunately B had a work commitment and couldn't attend. Let me tell you how cool it was to sit at the table with these people. I think that people in the wedding and event business have their own language. There was talk of chivaris and 4x8's and high tops and coffee and cake courses going back and forth like you would not believe. It was impressive. I just sort of sat back and observed while the little girl in the dress up bridal gown my Gamie made me jumped up and down screaming "Yippee! Woohoo! It's happening!"

I feel so blessed and lucky to have this team of experts coming together to make our day go off smoothly. I know there is still much to be done, but after this meeting today, I feel so assured that no matter what happens, it is going to be an incredible day. A perfect setting and backdrop for the biggest and most significant commitment Bryan and I will ever make. Talking through the details makes everything so real, and now it's a matter of days- not months- until I get to walk down the aisle to the kindest man I know.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for cool, crisp, fall weather on the bog day. In fact Bryan told me last night that I have to stop saying the word "fall" because I am driving him nuts. Oops. I think I am sort of willing the season to change so that we get those beautiful orange, yellow, and red hues we're hoping for in the background of the pictures. But even if it rains or it's hot as blue blazes- we will still be sitting down enjoying some delicious surf and turf and drinks at our reception surrounded by loved ones this time in one month. So really, it's all good.


Levy Parterre, where the cocktail hour will be. BEAUTIFUL.
