Update to nothing...

Ok, so I made appointments to go try on dresses, have two trusty girlfriends that will be accompanying me to help me figure out what looks good and what looks bad, and I'm so excited I could burst!!

I had lunch with one of the bridesmaids yesterday who happened to get married about 2 years ago, I think it was. It was before I knew Jesse, so I'm not sure, actually. Anyway, she advised me not to wait too long to pick out a dress. I've heard this from more people than I expected, actually. And it's not that I was waiting for any particular reason to go and look, I was just not ready.

And now that I am, it's like I've released every butterfly that could possibly exist in my belly when it comes to wedding-day jitters. I'm kinda worried that I won't look good in any dress, which is probably just a bit of my own self-consciousness creeping forward. I'm not usually a super self-conscious girl. But I've never tried on a wedding dress. Yeah, it's a bit intimidating it turns out. Just the thought of it is intimidating. What's wrong with me???

On other fronts, I've signed and sent the contract for the reception location, and now the caterer is asking me questions that I'm unsure of how to answer. We're working it out, though. I just don't feel like trying to decipher certain aspects of an event, such as how long the clean up should/will take, that isn't going to happen for almost a year! (The reception site has a very stringent policy on clean-up, and apparently the caterer warned that he will need to staff accordingly to make sure that the clean-up can happen in the time allotted, so we don't wind up running into surprise fees for OT on the space rental.) I asked the caterer to prepare his proposal with what he thought would work best, as he's been doing this sort of thing for MUCH longer than I have, and I trust him not to screw with us on it.

And the only thing I feel I'm behind on is contacting a photographer. That's kinda giving me a bit of heartburn, but I'll put it on the list for next week and get it done. December is going to be a busy month, I think. Between finding a new job, football madness, trying on the dresses, and decorating for the holidays, I don't know when I'll find time to eat and sleep!

Somehow, I think I'll figure it out, though...
