The wedding's getting really close. I'm at a point now where I'm oscillating between feeling on top of everything and freaking out because I remembered something we forgot.
Honestly, we're in a good place and almost everything is taken care of or soon will be. But we only have one more functional weekend before the wedding (the other has been taken over by Easter-related revelry), which makes it feel like it's a lot closer than it is.
Most of what's left is reporting final guest counts and paying the vendors. We'll take care of the florist and the cake this week and I believe we have to pay the venue/caterer next week. We've finalized the times for everything and figured out the seating chart. We finally bought a guest book and found some place cards.
The to-do list isn't terribly long anymore. However, everything left still feels pretty major. We need to fill out all the place cards, which can be done while watching TV one evening. I have my final dress fitting tonight, after which I think I can take the dress home.
We also need to finalize the playlist for the reception. It's maybe half done at this point. I didn't realize how hard it can be to fill a few hours with music. If you have any suggestions for songs, let us know. I think we still need about an hour's worth of music. Maybe more. We also need to acquire most of the songs.
The final bit is the ceremony. We found some readings, and we figured out the legal side of things. But the ceremony itself is still largely a mystery. Without any religious doctrine to fall back on, we need to figure everything out ourselves. This is proving harder than I thought it would be, and we're mostly not thinking about it at this point. Maybe we can just improvise the whole thing?
