It's Starting to Feel Real

I looked over a tentative draft of our wedding day timeline, and it made everything seem so real! I mean, not that a ton of spreadsheets, number crunching, and vendor calls isn't real. The wedding slavedriver (Knot.com) says I have 94 days left and 184 things to do. Good thing I have medical school to procrastinate from wedding planning. Or is it the other way around?

I guess after I learn some neuroscience, I'll get cracking. I know finishing the invites is priorty, but after that, I'm not really sure what to tackle.

Favors? Bridal party gifts? What random project are you glad you got out of the way early in the game?

Who has 6 feet?

I love love love shoes!

So much so, that I have now officially ordered THREE pairs for my wedding. I know. It's bad.

At first, I could not find the perfect pair of raspberry/magenta shoes to peek out from my dress.

So I ordered Pair #1 and I was going to go "old school" and have them dyed!
They've got a low heel( 2.25 inches) which will be great for my dress and the future hubby.



...but they were a LITTLE too big. (Can I get a sigh from all the girls with super skinny heels that make their shoes flip off in the back?)

So I ordered a half size smaller which hasn't arrived yet. (Pair #2)

THEN, while perusing, I found these beauties...


I called to see how many pairs were available, since I'm not sure how a three inch heel will work with my dress and wanted to wait until I was reunited till my dress again to see. And there was only one pair in my size. So of course, these became Pair #3.

What's your take?

Should I stand a mere 2.25 inches taller and have them dyed? Or almost be as tall as my man in magenta?

Happy 100 Days!

I don't condone smoking, and no one I know is turning 100 today.

So why the celebration?

Today marks 100 days till I become a Mrs. !!!

I'm Sorry

NWR, but THIS is how I feel after 3 tests in 8 days.



Isn't medical school awesome?

Some say it's like drinking water from a fire hose.
I say : medical school = elementary school(AKA being in class all the time) + finals week in college x every other week.

ps I miss dance.

Wedding Wishes

I wish....

...I had thought more carefully about my venue choice.
