Tomorrow

Tomorrow's the big day! I can't believe it's finally here. After an entire year of planning, I can finally say that it's only one day away. It's really surreal!

We had a great time at our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner tonight, meeting new people, seeing old friends and eating truly amazing food! I guess the rehearsal is pretty important - not just because you need to practice what you're gonna do and say, but also to practice being in a big group, mingling, and being completely overwhelmed by...everything!

People ask me if I'm going crazy right now, but I'm really not. Just like how a traumatic memory gets repressed, I feel like my consciousness is protecting me from the crazy rollercoaster emotions I imagine I would be feeling by now. I think if I truly felt everything I should be feeling, I'd be rolling around on the ground crying and laughing. :)

But the one thing I know for sure is that getting a wedding planner was the best decision we've made in our planning. It's saved us money, time and stress, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's getting married!

Alright, everyone. See you tomorrow! Then wish us bon voyage as we head to Barcelona on Sunday! :)

Thunderstorms

Source

I do not like this picture. Apparently both weather.com and accuweather.com are both calling for some kind of thunderstorm (PM, isolated, scattered) for the next 3-4 days, and the difference between 3 and 4 makes a huuuuge difference!

But I'm not too worried because our rain plan is still pretty good.

Guess what happened exactly one year ago today??


That's right! Cyrus proposed! :D

It seems like such a long time ago...


It was the most romantic evening and it was especially great to be able to celebrate with friends that night AND the night after!


Look how excited I am to be a bride! And look how short my hair was! Thank goodness it grew out fast. :)

So it turns out that our engagement will be exactly 52 weeks! How 'bout that?

Happy one-year! :)

Boo on you, Harbor Fest

I just found out that there's going to be a huge concert right between the hotel and our wedding site on the day of our wedding, which I'm sure is going to wreak havoc on traffic in the area.

But I'm not going to stress...

(8 days left!)

Packed & unpacked

Cyrus and I drove up to Boston last week, and we took up as many things as we could so we could set up our apartment.

We were surprised at how much space was still left after packing his things and mine.



Setting up the apartment was pretty successful, but we hit a dead end when there were items in the apartment that we didn't know what to do with. But still, we're so glad that we did the hard part (cleaning!) before the wedding!

I'm back home in Maryland now, and Cyrus is up in Boston and we will reunite late next week. Could this be the last long-distance period ever??

Two weeks left

There are exactly two weeks left before our wedding! Here are our plans for today:

- open gifts that have arrived
- transport gifts from Cyrus's mom's to our apartment
- get rid of old stuff in the apartment
- clean apartment
- come back to Cyrus's mom's for dinner with lots of family!

I wish I had some pictures to show you, but I didn't bring my camera cable! :(

Name change

Has anyone used MissNowMrs.com to change a name before?

I'm filling out paperwork for my new job, considering getting a MA driver's license, and a lot more fun stuff, and I'm wondering when I should change my name and how.

They say that for $30, using the website saves you an average of 13 hours of research.
