Forgot to show you guys! My good friends and witnesses got us these matching Bubbas with my new name and wedding date.

Who is going to take care of my kitties if everyone is in Mexico with me???

Awesome! Bubba's are the best

Hahah guess you can't go I'd watch them but that's a long ways from home. Maybe a kennel?

Love the tall table rounds... for a cocktail hour! Not for an entire reception. Sheesh... boys.

I wish I could stage an intervention. Maybe next time we're hanging out with friends I'll bring it up and let them pounce.

Haha I'd just order the regular tables and wink at him as you enter the reception

 

Or tell him the WC doesn't allow it given their instability to hold all the plates and drinks haha

You know what? Honestly they might not even allow that configuration /wink

I agree hehe at the end of the day there is sooo many reasons why you could say the regular tables are in the palapa and honestly, I can almost bet $10 that he'll forget because he's so caught up in the day

So I have officially passed the 10 room (free package) requirement.  I actually have 12, but my sister is single occupancy (for now) and I'm not sure if the Bride & Groom's room counts.  28 seats booked on the plane!  More to come!  So excited!  Do  you think I'm behind on planning?  I have no dress, no centerpieces, no plan!  LOL.  Just guests and a venue!  I'm not worried yet, I think I'm just holding off for numbers.

 

Today is a good day, Sean will be going to get my matching wedding band.  This was not without it's own drama.  I got my ring from a travelling show.  They go from store to store with stock that isn't in the store's regular inventory.  So you can only get to see them about every other month on ONE DAY!  So Sean went in on this last event and they did NOT have my matching band.  He sent me two pictures of "similar" bands and they looked NOTHING like my ring.  I was having a little bit of a secret internal meltdown.  I didn't want to look at my ring every day for the rest of my life mismatched and knowing that I lost it's mate.  Later in the day Sean finally mentions "oh well they did say you can order it.... but it's full price - it's  not part of the sale."  Well that's crucial information!  I got on the phone right away and it took a few days of going back and forth.  I haggled my way down to 35% off.  Ha!  So we should have it in our possession Tuesday.  Even though we're legal I'm not going to wear it until after Mexico, same with the name change.

Congrats!! Your room definitely counts as far as I know!!! I used it in my totals

 

You aren't behind but I'd say you may wanna start looking at dresses soon. They can take 3-5 months to come in if you order one, sometimes longer. Then if needed alternations can take a couple months.

 

Decor and a plan all comes in time. I had a general plan but really just let the WC and my MC figure it out

 

Congrats on finding your ring and getting it 35% off can't wait to see pics.
