March
My countdown orb tells me it’s six months and one day to the wedding. And, for a change, I’m not going to freak out about how close it is. Honestly, I wish it would get here faster.
We’re in really good shape. All the major stuff is done and a bunch of people have booked rooms. I was stressing out about people not booking before the block is opened up, but many people have told me it’s not my problem. I have done everything I can do to get them to book rooms, and now if they have to pay more or stay at another hotel, well, there’s nothing I can do about it. It feels good to let go of that stress.
The only major thing left to decide on is flowers. I was thinking of talking to florists around now, but the idea of putting down another deposit is terrifying. My credit cards are a nightmare and I just don’t want to deal with another expense right now.
James is really set on using a local florist, but I think I’m going to order at least the flowers for the centerpieces from someplace online. I just want some gerbera daisies, and I’m going to cut all the stems off anyway and float the heads in water. Not like I need to pay a florist to do that.
In other wedding news, Sharon’s wedding is fast approaching. We had her bachelorette party last weekend, I have my dress alteration appointment on Friday, next weekend we’re putting together favors, then it’s Easter, then it’s the wedding! I’m really looking forward to it.

Look into Costco for flowers (really strange to think but cheap) and I am going through Stop and Shop. I am getting the following. My bouquet, 6 bridemaids bouquet, flower girl petals, 8 boutinnerres (Groom, 6 GM, and ring bearer), 4 corsages for mothers and grandmothers, and a Church alter piece for only 547.00 with delivery. All you need is a 50 dollar deposit. The flowers are great and they can get you whatever you want. Good luck! My wedding is only 3 months away and I am freaking!
