I cannot believe in 8 weeks just 60 days (or in Colt’s terms 4 paychecks) we will be husband and wife! I got my 2 month reminder today from The Knot and AGAIN we are right on track! I also recently pulled out my checklist in my “Brides Book of Lists” and it was so reassuring to see everything lining up. This past Sunday we went to the mall and tired on rings for Colt. It was so funny watching him try to pick one out. He was so sure he knew exactly what he wanted until he actually started trying the rings on. After several attempts he decided he just wasn’t a “ring person” which of course made me and the ladies laugh so hard. Since it was only our first day shopping around I told him he had a week to think about it, look online and figure it out. He’s a size 11 so we have to special order it which can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks so the sooner we do the better. Last night he continued to look (there really are so many options) I hope he finds one he LOVES soon.

This upcoming Sunday July 1st marks the start of all our BIG meetings which means we will be meeting with our minister to go over the ceremony. We have decided to write our own vows so we want to talk to him about that and how we want the ceremony to flow. I am so excited to get the day planned out with him & MaryAnn. We are also meeting with Warrick our video/photographer to go over every detail of the wedding and the events leading up to it. Warrick is so awesome so every meeting with him is always our pleasure. We also have to set up a meeting with our DJ which I am hoping we can do the following Sunday (our work weeks are just so full so we really have to take advantage of our weekends for planning). We already sent the DJ our music planner so really the meeting is just about the flow and timeline of dinner and the reception. I feel like there is still so much to do so I made an 8 week checklist (I am such a checklist whore)
