Take me to paradise!

It’s official, our honeymoon is BOOKED! We are going to Excellence Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and could not be more excited! This place is heaven on earth if you ask me!

So pretty, can we just go now?!
We decided pretty early on in our planning process that we were going to have a hard time registering for wedding gifts, and while we have managed to set up traditional registires, we have also registered for our honeymoon through TheBigDay.com! Their whole concept is to allow guests to buy a couple memories not items, I love it! You can see our full registry here. Only problem is we are still over 200 days away from leaving!! I don’t want to wait that long!!

Cooling my jets..

For anyone who has seen or spoken to me in the last few weeks I think it has been pretty obvious I have become completely overwhelmed with life. So much so I have become the girl who doesn't even have time to blog a quick little post here and there! Between working a new job, school full time, and the wedding, I am going to start pulling my hair out any moment now.

The biggest stress (and only one I really have any control over) is the wedding. Who knew throwing a big party for all our closest friends and family would be so incredibly stressful? Despite the fact that I do have a lot of help (including an amazing husband-to-be who is very supportive of all my crazy ideas), it is time I take a break from my self-induced madness. That means absolutely no wedding stuff for a week. No planning, no calls, no vendors, no emails, no wedding blog reading, I'm not even going to read Weddingbee at all! Can I do it? Probably not that hard core, but I sure am going to try.

Instead I'm going to spend my extra time catching up on school work, cleaning our disaster of an apartment (which the majority of that mess is also wedding related), getting back to the gym, and of course hanging out with Bella and Bri. Yeah, no wedding really does free up THAT MUCH time.

Next week I will finish up and get all the room block info posted on the site, but for now its just going to have to wait. Who knows with all this spare time you might even get more then one blog post out of me this week!

saving the date??

Well, after quite a bit of blood, sweat, and tears (ok, maybe no blood, but there were definitely tears. What can I say I'm a dramatic gal sometimes!) our save the dates have been mailed! So I can only assume we might be having a few new visitors to our blog coming via our wedding website (briankatie.net)! So to our new guests, welcome!

I also wanted to point out that we are still fairly early in our crazy planning process. So even though some days I feel like I am making no progress at all, I really am doing wedding related things every single night (and poor Brian is still at least pretending to be interested in all the things I show him!) And while our wedding website is going to be a very useful tool, especially for guests that will be travelling, we are still limited as to what information we currently have. As we get closer to our big day, and especially once we get through the holidays, more information will be added! So please keep checking back, and hang with us as we try to sort through booking blocks in hotels, getting maps together, and arranging time lines. While I love this stuff, let's pray Brian doesn't loose his mind in the process! :)

Bella is obviously very excited about the wedding
planning, or maybe she just needs a nap..
