8 MONTHS TO GO!

You would think that my summer would be simple and relaxing considering I am a guidance counselor during the year... WRONG! Busy Busy Busy. Between retirement parties, the end of the school year, camp orientations, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, camp starting and of course weddings galore, I have not had much time to update this blog or get myself into wedding shape. I am disappointed that I am not motivated to get "wedding skinny." Part of my lack of motivation-- my dress fits like a glove! The only alteration that is needed---a hem. So why should I lose weight? Sigh. Well, today marks 8 months until the big day and I will do my BEST or at least try my BEST to get wedding skinny. I know I have 3 more big events left this month-- 2 weddings and a wine tour-- besides those it should be semi-easy. I just need to get killer workouts in. I will try to keep you posted on my wedding weight loss -- or inch loss (that is what my trainer tells me I should focus on).

Shifting topics a bit... I mentioned my gown came in!!! It is more stunning then I even remembered on me! I ordered my veil, I got a head piece, and found shoes for $25 (YAY FOR A SALE-- although the shoes will be OFF after I walk down the aisle)! I also had a hair and makeup trial for my cousins wedding and could not be happier! I bought some lovely hair extensions and welll I AM READY TO GO!!! I just have to get through the fall-- college admissions hell and recommendation letter writing and I am wedding bound!

Please please stay connected as I will do my best to post! Clearly this is my blog (suzanne) as joshua neglects it much worse then I do!

Love.

Flowers

went florist shopping this weekend. seriously amazing and exciting. we didn't look at too many, only 2 because i narrowed down to these 2 after search a few months ago with josh and visiting a bridal showcase at fox hollow. well we are 99% sure that we are using _______. I will announce our florist once we officially put down the deposit.

Can't remember if I mentioned that Josh and I have 2 wedding planners for the day of our wedding. They will make sure everything will run smoothly and that I will not become bridezilla!

Oh and we are less than 10 months away wow!

Planning

The time is flying and we are having a ball planning everything. We picked out our invitations (just waiting a bit to order them), I have picked out my bridesmaid dresses (also waiting to order), and we went for a cake testing at one place. We can't wait for another cake testing to really nail down what we want. Josh and I also met with our Rabbi to learn about the REFORMED jewish ceremony! It was very informative and we have some nice decisions to make. I know we have neglected this blog, but I am really hoping to write more as we get closer and closer to our wedding!!

Right now I am focusing on Cheryl and Seth's Wedding as well as Jen and Matt's Wedding!!! :)

neglect!

We have neglected this blog, however things have been very hectic-- in good and bad ways.

Anyway, our planning is going well and we are very excited for everything in store. We looked at some flowers, some invitations, save the dates, a unique way to use seating cards, and even signed up to have two wedding day coordinators help us out. No bridezilla for me!

But there is a lot of little things to do and I am trying to enjoy each step of the way!

1 YEAR!!!!

Today marks the day-- 1 year until our wedding. We are very excited and will be starting to plan more! Tonight we are going to celebrate in NYC! Specifically going in to celebrate one of Josh's groomsmen's 30th birthday, but still, we will be celebrating 1 year to go! Hopefully next March 6th will be as gorgeous and warm as it is today!!

13 months!

until IDO!

under 400!

According to my facebook countdown, we are under 400 days until the wedding. Josh finally got to see our band and he is extremely excited about them! I am glad that he enjoyed them because he would have had no choice since the contract was signed! Anyway, we are ready to rock and roll at our party with some fabulous music! Other then that, Josh and I are busy working working working! We are going on a cruise in February for presidents week (the beauty of working in a school) and I know I am THRILLED to get out of the cold for a week!

Sorry we do not have any more exciting news to keep you entertained... hopefully more will be on the way!
