From not planning much as far as the wedding goes, to spending close to $1500 in 2 days, I'm very happy with how things are coming along.
In two days, Chris and I were able to pay off the rest of our honeymoon cruise, booked two excursions while on the honeymoon (an ATV tour of some Mayan ruins and the surrounding jungle and swimming with dolphins and sea turtles), bought a dress for our adorable flower girl and my future niece, purchased over 300 blue silk roses for under $80, purchased the flower girl basket, cake topper, invitation stationary kits, bubbles, two glass vases for the altar, beads for my bridesmaids' jewelry, and picked out the tuxedos for Chris and his groomsmen.
Plus we've been keeping our eyes on some royal blue aisle runners on eBay, as well as some cascading cake tiers.
A week from today, I've also got my first wedding dress fitting. I'm so excited to get back in to the dress because the last time I had it on was back in December, but I'm a little worried that it'll be too big. I don't remember, but I think the lady at David's Bridal ordered my dress a size too big (but I think she said they run a size small). On top of that, I've been losing weight since March (12 lbs so far) and my clothes have been feeling more loose, so I'm sure my dress will be too.
Still though, I'm excited to get the dress back on. My future mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law will be coming with me, and while I'm sad that my best friend and family won't be there, I'm glad I get to share this with my future family.
The next step in my wedding planning will be to get working on the invitations! Now that I've got the kits, I need to get printing and mailing!
