Wedding Shopping

And we are off! We made a date when we could get together with our wedding coordinator and our sweet friend who is helping us with decorations to go shopping. We began at IHop, stopped by Men's Warehouse to get a color sample and ran to Hobby Lobby. Little did we know that they were closing 15 minutes after we walked in....so talk about power shopping. In 15 minutes, we grabbed glassware, tulle, ribbon, flowers, flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillow, and guest book. REALLY! Everything was 50% off so were quite thrilled.

Next stop...Michael's. We browsed around a bit just looking. We got a few things there, but nothing remarkable.

Earlier that evening Kat and I had done some internet window shopping to make decisions, check prices...that kind of thing, so we were armed with a list and prices so we would know what our best options were. That night we ordered some of her table favors too, but the week didn't stop there. Next on the list, get sample inviations so she could decide on that, secure the florist and reserve chairs. All of which we did and more this week! All was going according to plan...as we are now down to about two months....and then a gliche...major gliche...I called my hubbie Tuesday afternoon after talking with Kat about the situation-I was just livid. My hubbie is my sounding board and my voice of reason. The next two days were spent dealing with that situation.

Here we were feeling pretty good about what we had accomplished, all with no real stress. Kat made up her mind quickly, we got it done-NO bridezilla here at all....no stress to speak of....and that is the what we were shooting for...then...unexpectedly...a serious bump in the road. My hubbie said, "I knew it was going too smoothly." Yep....it was.

But...God has been richly providing for us and her. I am so thankful for the people in our lives that have graciously stepped up to help us in more ways than I could have imagined. It is awesome...so knowing that...I KNOW that He will provide for this new situation too!
