T-minus 10 days

[Picture Lynne's shocked, terrified, excited, relieved face.]

Yes. All of those emotions at once. Weddings do that to people.

Everything's done. Kind of. A few errands to run this weekend. A few pictures to print. A few details to iron out and then this show will be on the road!

The past month has positively FLOWN by. Not getting to my home until around 9:30 p.m. every night (after work and visiting Kit) certainly helps the strange distortion of time.

Today we went and got a wedding license from the county clerk. It was a nice seamless experience and then all of a sudden we had a wedding license! Next Saturday around 9:40 a.m. we will walk into a room, kneel down, and then a few minutes later, we will be married! Just like that! Very, very strange. Marriage has always been this distant, other-worldly institution that I have imagined, but never experienced.

Strange as it is though, there is no one that I would rather embark on this grand adventure with than the man I am sitting next to. And that is a wonderful feeling.

The DI is a gold mine

I just saved literally hundreds of dollars at the D.I. today. My mom and I bought dozens of perfectly good frames and perfectly good vases for the wedding. Perfectly good. Every time you get flowers, you get a nice vase with it. Nobody needs more than a handful of vases. Every time you move or if you ever have to clean out someone's house, what are you going to do with all of the frames they had? Give them to the D.I.

I highly recommend it.
