wedding whirlwind

this week has been quite productive on the wedding-planning front...

*we bought wedding rings on monday at the WTC. word to the wise, don't say (as your fiance is pulling out his credit card to purchase your diamond wedding band) "you lived with tommy nelson! i'd LOVE to marry tommy nelson!" i don't think i need to point out why this fell into faux-pas category not to mention the fact that Tommy Nelson is married. i think we're even now after M's prime rib comment the other night :)

*tasted wedding cakes and (kind of) picked out what we wanted. i don't really anticipate actually tasting my wedding cake so this is something i didn't think about beforehand. apparently some brides actually feel compelled to not only pick out, but also sketch what they want their wedding cakes to look like. wow. no word yet on the design although M is now the camo-cake-with-duck-decoy-on-top bandwagon

*picked out music for the ceremony with the organist. this was one of those nights where you just had to be there. who knew that people still watched silent movies (accompanied by organ music) or that musicians were so picky about the music they were to play at YOUR wedding. well, now we know, and as G.I. Joe says, "knowing is half the battle." for a while there, i thought there would actually be a battle, but my hymns prevailed. for those of you who either a) know me or b) actually read this, you know about me and my hymns...

*finished the "nice" registry at Polly du Pont. very overwhelming and very scary to think of how many (potential) thank you's we'll have to write, but fun with my mom all the same. go here www.potterybarn.com here www.bedbathandbeyond.com here www.macys.com and here www.pollydupont.com to view our selections

and better yet, lots of things crossed off the to-do list which is just how i like it
