"Call the planner" mode

With only 4 more days until the wedding, Marc and I are freeing ourselves from a majority of the planning and problem solving and happily handing over the responsibility to our wedding planner.  We have made all necessary payments and have tips set aside for the vendors, completed the details of the ceremony & reception, and have designated what needs to go to the rehearsal and to the hotel.  If any problems arise, we have told everyone to call the planner! lol Marc and I are going to enjoy the last few days of being engaged as much as we can. The only thing I have to do tomorrow is pick up my wedding dress and buy gifts for the little people who are in our wedding party =D Anything else need to be done? Call the planner!

I still can't believe how fast a year and a half flew by... I can still remember when Marc proposed to me on the beautiful sandy beach of Maui in May 2011.  And now, we're getting married on Sunday!

We can't wait to see everyone at the wedding!  And please do your best to dress according to our wedding theme so we can witness exactly what we have envisioned <3

2 1/2 more weeks left!

We obviously suck at updating our blog LOL!  These last few months have been CRAZY busy.  Since our last post, I went to San Diego with my bridesmaids for my bachelorette party in May, Marc went to his bachelor party in Vegas with his groomsmen, had 2 wedding showers, and moved to Chicago the beginning of July. Marc and I are finishing up the last few details of the wedding and we will be ready!  Now that I've listed everything, I can't believe how much time has flown...

This last month has especially been very difficult for me.  It has been a huge emotional rollercoaster and trying my best to stay sane during the ride.  I'm so grateful to those who have made time to help me relax and vent.  Even if it has been a simple phone call, text, or e-mail, it has helped me enormously!  Super stressed, but hey... it could have been like this the ENTIRE year and half engagment.  Glad it's only been the last couple of months.  Marc has been extremely helpful during the process.  His ability to see the good in everything has been keeping me optimistic with our upcoming wedding and all the other crazy stuff going on in my life.  I am truly BLESSED.  Although it has been stressful, Marc and I have been enjoying our engagement and last few days of being able to call each other fiance(e) :)

Marc and I have been staying focused on the importance of all of this: our marriage.  Although the details of the wedding are important and pretty much making my head spin a thousand different ways, we continue to remind ourselves that our declaration of our love and commitment towards each other is what matters at the end.  People get so caught up with making their special day as perfect as possible that they forget that their vows is the only thing that is of true significance.  So I'm not going to let all these details get the best of me for mine and Marc's sanity :P

With that said, Marc and I are now going to enjoy a glass of wine and a few episode of Grey's Anatomy.  Can't wait to see everyone on our big day!! (Just in case I don't update this again... hehe)
