Last night while laying on the couch snuggling with Colt he says:

Colt: Why do we love each other so much? I can’t believe we are getting married.

Me: Did you always know you were going to marry me?

Colt: No, I mean not like the first day but I did after we dated for a little while…why did you?

Me: Yup…

Colt: (surprised face) You did?

Me: Yup, I always knew I would marry you.

Colt: (just smiling).

And I did. I honestly can’t remember a time when I didn’t love Colt.

This weekend we spent most of our time planning and talking about all the “extra” things that we still have to do that can’t get done by Mary-Ann. Finalizing the photographer, finding the jars for welcome drinks and center pieces, all the extra arts and crafts, scheduling hair, makeup, picking out Colt’s ring, meeting with Tammy about the flower girls outfits and getting them ordered, ceremony songs, vows, wedding cake tasting, dress fittings, honeymoon planning, registries, wedding week activities, room block finalizations, the DJ…. oh how I love the DJ from next level entertainment. He was everything I pictured and more but he was also almost double what we budgeted which meant we probably couldn’t swing it. But since we really liked him we decided we should at least try to see if there was any room for negation so Colt left him a message on Saturday and waited to hear back. The weekend came and went and we didn’t hear back. Yesterday Colt got a text from Joe the DJ saying to call him tomorrow so they could talk, I of course had my fingers crossed.

I woke up to my normal Tuesday morning: 4:45 alarm, gym session, dog walk, shower, run around like a mad woman for 30 minutes, grab breakfast (courtesy of my amazing man) love & thank him, kiss Kailea and run out the door. I got to work at 8a.m. and shortly after my phone rang and it was Colt. I thought he was calling because our rooms girl at the Grand (whom I have grown to dislike very much) was suppose to call him on Thursday with our reservation code so I could finalize our invites (that however wasn’t the case and I am indeed still waiting and it’s Tuesday evening). He instead told me that he had just talked to the DJ. By his tone I wasn’t impressed. I was thinking great he wouldn’t budge. He continued by saying that he went down a little (which in my head meant we still couldn’t afford him) so I quickly replied “how much $100.00 dollars?” Colt than said nope then paused and said he went down $600.00! I almost dropped the phone! I asked if he was joking because if so I wasn’t really in the mood. He said he had talked to Joe and explained the whole situation gave him our number and Joe agreed to do it for our budgeted amount which was a $600.00 discount from his quote he had previously sent! I couldn’t believe it, Colt did it and it was honestly the best Valentines gift any bride to be could possibly ask for!

We are meeting with Mary-Ann this Saturday to do a cake tasting and sign our second deposit as well as finalize our food selections. I really want to do a rainbow cake but of course Colt thinks I’m crazy. Maybe we can do rainbow cupcakes or maybe I can talk my sister into doing those cone cakes that I love so much. Either way I know it will be delicious. We are 11 days out from the 6 month mark, can you even believe it?
