It’s been a busy few months and I feel like I’ve been neglecting the blog. Joe & I have sent out the official invites for the wedding via email, so if you haven’t received yours make sure to check your junk folder. We will be resending them again as the dates keep getting closer and closer.
We both have been trying not to stress over the wedding plans, but that’s easier said than done. Between work and wedding planning, we’re exhausted. I think we both just want everyone to have a good time at both the celebrations.
Joe is still working on booking bands for the Chicago party. Things on that front are moving very slowly. Shows are notoriously difficult to put together. This age-old truth is proving itself all over again. We both have faith that everything will come together in the end.
As for the Arizona party, it looks like we’re gonna have a big crowd! We’re so excited that so many people are willing to make the trip for the wedding. Many people are turning it into a vacation and why not?!!?!? Sounds like a perfect excuse for a few more days of R&R to me…….
I have my first dress fitting at the beginning of August. We’ll see if I still fit into both of them….. I’m not exactly the “watch what I eat” sort of girl. My definition of “watch what I eat” is taking a good look at it before cramming it in my pie hole!
Speaking of food, our friends Nate & Elaine of Fritz Pastry will be creating some delicious goodies for dessert at the Chicago celebration. More to follow….. Check out their site: http://fritzpastry.com/
I will be adding some hotel information for the Arizona celebration to the website soon in case anyone needs it. I hope to have a variety of options close by the Chavez household. We WON’T be blocking any rooms or anything like that since everyone has different needs and budgets.
My friend/bridesmaid Jenn came by the condo a few weeks ago to help out with some arts’n’crafts projects. We created my bouquet for Arizona and planned out the table decorations for Chicago. I’ve known that Jenn is resourceful (she is a CVT after all), but man can that girl craft!!!! We will be getting together again in the near future to finish the rest of the crafty projects….. I can’t wait!
I think that’s all for now. Joe & I still have a lot to do and the parties are quickly approaching….
2 months and 24 days until we get hitched?!?! Holy Crap!
