WEDDING WEDNESDAY: TEN DAYS TO GO!

You guys, our wedding is in ten days! It feels like we’ve been engaged forever (twenty months!) but the last few months have flown by and I just can’t believe we’re so close. Everyone keeps asking me if everything’s finished so I thought I’d do an update on where we stand with just ten days until we get married!

I have to say it’s unbelievable the number of things that pile up right at the end. Collecting RSVPs, finalizing seating arrangements, assembling welcome boxes, fitting in final alterations, pressing napkins, doing walk-throughs at each venue, stalking the weather forecast… No matter how much I told myself I had endless time to be organized and plan ahead, there are some things that just have to wait until the last month and that makes for a rather crazy final few weeks!

I’m so thankful to have been out on Nantucket this summer (so much less stressful than planning from afar!) and to have the help of Caroline from Milly & Grace Weddings (whose sister I met when I worked at the Ralph Lauren store on the island circa age 16 — such a small world!). I feel more organized with each passing day and I definitely get more excited the more things we cross off our joint to do list.

Our family and friends start to arrive early next week and I’m excited to spend the final few days before the wedding spending quality time with them and taking it easy before the big day. I have a few beauty appointments (mani/pedi, eyelash extensions, etc.) in the days leading up to the wedding but other than that I think we’ll be in great shape.

It seems like forever ago that we found my wedding dresstook our engagement photos, sent our save-the-dates, shopped for bridesmaids’ dresses, had my bachelorette party, mailed our invitations, and started planning our honeymoon and I know it will all be worth it when I get to finally call Will my husband! Thank you all for your lovely words and well wishes during this exciting time in our lives. I cannot wait to share the magic with all of you! xoxo

P.S. How we met. 🙂
