We will get it all done, it will be OK

     We have finally gotten the ball rolling on wedding planning. I took a break in December for Christmas. My FMIL was freaking out because she thought we wouldn't get anything done. So in turn, she freaked Matthew out and he came to me in a state of sheer panic. I (the BRIDE) had to calm my groom down and tell him "It's just one day of our lives, it will go by so fast, no one will notice the tiny details. We will get it all done, it will be OK."

     I was talking about our cake and I kept finding things I liked and saying "but we will have to see how much it costs and we can always get something really simple instead". Matt said "I don't want you saying that, I want you to have whatever makes you happy and not worry about money." I love you dear, but that's easy for you to say when I'm the one paying for the cake.

     He did get a lot done just in the past week. We have hotel rooms blocked, tuxes picked out, the lighting guy has been called, we have a tasting with the caterer for next month and today we picked out a cake and registered! Our cake will be blue with white details. The inside is strawberry with champagne mousse and butter cream frosting. We also got some vanilla cake with raspberry filling. We are looking for a "P" cake topper. It might take some time to agree on something, he has a lot of opinions...lol. This is very similar to what our cake will look like:

     Registering was fun but stressful. Like I said, Matt has a lot of opinions. One example is salt and pepper shakers. There were at least 6 to choose from and none of them pleased him enough. Salt and pepper shakers were not good enough for him. He wants wooden utensils, I want dishwasher safe. He liked this old looking, dark huge-ass clock and I preferred one that didn't look like it was salvaged from a ship wreck. It's a wonder it only took us two hours. Granted, we hardly got anything we needed. Its okay though, we only went to one place so far. Only 5 more months! It feels like it will never come but I know time will start going faster and faster. It's fun to be engaged but I can't wait to be married to my best friend.
