Wedding Wednesday



So, I know I'm over-due for a Wedding Wednesday so let's get right to it.

I promise a full recap of wedding action in the coming weeks but for now lets stick with the topic of invitations.  As you may remember from this post, I was working on my invitations.  I was determined to make them by hand so that I could get what I wanted.  And I did.  And it worked.  And they're AMAZING. And not so expensive!!  Each breaks down to a mere $0.66 each! wo0t!  Oh, and here they are:

Beautiful, right?!

There's just one problem with my wonderful invitations; Canada Post has locked out its' workers!!  OH NOES!  But be proud, I didn't panic.  We've hand delivered the majority of the invitations.  I sent anything that was international while I was on holidays (crossed the boarder from NB to Maine and mailed 'em!) and we've e-mailed everyone else to let them know they're on their way as soon as the mail starts up.

So that's my story and that's my invite.  Now help me induce calm.

Strike!!

NOTE: I thought I posted this last week when I wrote it, but apparently I only saved it as a draft.  So, pretend it's August 4 when you read it;)


I"M ON STRIKE!

No, not at work.  No, not because I don't want to do housework (which I'm told is a good reason to be on strike).  I'm on Wedding Strike.  I officially have 391 days until my wedding and I think that is a ridiculous amount of time to plan a wedding so I informed Dan that I would be going on Wedding Strike this month.  August will be wedding free for me.

Now, you might be wondering - "Well Paige, what prompted this sudden surge of rage towards your wedding?  I thought you enjoyed planning things!"  Well dear reader, you are correct - I do enjoy planning things.  However, what I do not enjoy is people asking me if I've made my invitations for a wedding that is 391 days away! WHY WOULD I HAVE INVITATIONS?! I'm not even finished my guest list!! Or if I've gone dress shopping yet.  Uhhhh, no I haven't.  My wedding is OVER A YEAR AWAY.  Why would I bother to fall in love with a dress right now...?  We all know I'm just going to change my mind in another week, anyways!

So, dear readers, help me maintain some sense of calm.  Come on down and picket with me.  Because I'm on Wedding Strike and I'm not stopping until September 1!!!
