13. Picked out a suitable groom

Did you do your Thursday 13?

Snapshot of Thirteen Things during the month of December; borrowed from Janet who borrowed it from Dawn:

So I found out the the church was already booked for our wedding. Wait, hadn’t I already booked it a year and a half ago? Apparently not. This, my friends, is why I need a wedding planner.

Now I’m pretty organized (in fact, the planner said I was the most organized bride she ever had) but even the most organized person can forget things. I can’t believe I forgot to share the date with the CHURCH! I was so mad at myself and spiraled down into “i suck” mode. I’m and idiot, I’m too fat… blah blah blah.

Thankfully I hung out with Janet on Saturday night right after it happened and helped me realize that it wasn’t my fault. Nah, it was that last stress-inducing job that I just had. How could I remember to take a shower back in those days.

Saturday Jimbo and I spent most of the day picking out church and reception songs for the wedding. A good time was had by all. We still haven’t picked out a first dance song, yet. But we’ve got plenty of contenders and lots and lots of great dance music.

Pulling together bits and pieces here and there. The invites are mostly designed. I’m just waiting on the times and I can start printing it all out. Stamps? Check. Favor boxes? Check. Check Check Check.

Oh… how did it turn out with the church? The Reverend took pity on me and is working it out so we can both get married on the same day. He’s a saint. haha! Pun intended.
