Mr. Sunshine and I headed out around noon today and looked at antiques. We found... well... nothing, but we both like looking anyways. After antique hunting we came home, cleaned up the house and then went out looking for open houses to peruse. One cool house and one lame open house later we decided to walk the dogs.
Then I decided to mail our invitations.
And I almost cried.
I have heard, many times, on many blogs, that when you mail those invites it is a bit heart wrenching. I think it's because you spend so much time creating them, painstakingly designing, cutting, folding, gluing, assembling and burning yourself with them, that when they are sent out is it almost sad.
As I think about this, I think I can actually list all of the sad parts:
- All my hard work is in the hands of Canada Post. Need I say more?
- It's all becoming official.
- I have very few days left of wedding planning and DIY's, which I'm actually enjoying doing.
- It means that we can't cancel our wedding now. JUST KIDDING MR. SUNSHINE! You know I'm gonna marry you no matter what!
Anyways, as I walked away, my heart a little sadder, I told Mr. Sunshine that it was sad and I wanted to cry a bit. And do you know what that wonderful man said? He said, "But at least you did it with your whole family."
So of course I looked over and saw all of them staring up at me and just wanted to cry more because that was so true and so happy! But I didn't. Mostly because we were on the main street and I didn't want to look like a fool outside the town post office.

But now, here I am, at home and with nothing to do. Six invites left to go out, bouquets and bouts to finish, escort cards and menus to complete and that's about it. How sad is that? I've spent all day scouring the web for some new ideas of DIY's and found a few to keep myself busy, but this truly sucks. Maybe when I go for my fitting on Friday I will hate my veil or boots or jewellery and then force myself into another project to keep busy. Wouldn't it be nice?

I remember how I felt when all was done. I was like what to do with myself. I'm still kind of like that and I've been married almost a year! LOL!! But you will have plenty that comes up. At least now all the important things are DONE!! WHOO OOHH!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know that is so true! As a teacher, report card writing season is upon me. If I had a DIY to do right now it would likely kick my ass and take names!
ReplyDeleteI LOLed when you said you couldn't cancel the wedding anymore. I told Josh the same thing when we sent out our save the date cards.
ReplyDelete:P I guess we COULD, but it would be at that very awkward "you already gave me your RSVP" moment :P
