Wedding Wednesday: October Planning Update

Somehow, we are only 7 1/2 months away from our wedding. How? HOW?! I ask you! I know it’s going to fly by and I’m trying so hard not to stress too much about it all. I have loved planning, but now that it’s getting closer and closer each day, I’m starting to get nervous about forgetting things. These monthly check ins have been so helpful to get my mind wrapped around it all and make sure I am on schedule.

Hopefully there isn’t anything I’m forgetting! Although I’m sure there is, because I’ve felt pretty on top of things. I’ve never planned an event of this size before but I’m really enjoying it. It’s been nice to have so much time to not feel too stressed about it all.
