Progress thus far...

Things have been moving forward these last few weeks, Jeff and I have ordered our outfits for the wedding and our wedding bands. The wedding bands shipped out on Friday the 13th [fitting ;) ] and we got them last week. For the unveiling we went to our favorite cemetery after eating at our restaurant, Mama Mias, and to the spot where Jeff proposed. It was a pretty magical evening the way the sky turned a stunning shade of orange, purple, pink and dark blue at almost the very moment we tried them on for the first time.
My dress should arrive within the first week of October, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it in person! I think it’s a stunning dress and it’s hard to decide how I want to accessorize with it because I would hate to do to much to take away from the dress itself. Since we are getting married on our beloved holiday, Halloween, I feel I should play with that a bit, maybe some Halloween tights or a few bats on my jewelry or in my hair? I have not decided completely yet on what I am going to do, but I do feel that pearls would work with my dress and I am seriously considering wearing my grandmothers pearl necklace, who sadly has passed and will not be in the audience like I so had hopped she would be.
As things come together, I feel a odd mixture of stress and relief. We have completed our design of the invites and just need to start making them and sending them out which we hope to start next week. I am very excited to get them done and mail them, it is the one thing that keeps in the back of my mind all day.
So what is left? I need to come up with an idea of how to decorate the tables and some areas around the theater. This theater stands alone as a simply breathtaking backdrop and has a lot of atmosphere, so again, I am trying to tie the Halloween elements into the wedding degore, but I don’t want to do to much that it would distract you from the theater. We plan to use a lot of candles and of course there will pumpkins, that much I am sure of! I am sure there is plenty more to plan, but for now this is the main focus. I am also trying to complete our guest photo book, mostly while I am work so I can still enjoy the evening free of wedding stuff, and Jeff has started to create our film as well as some added ones that we plan to play throughout the night.
Overall, things are getting done and we look forward to the wedding more and more each day as we discuss ideas and plan what we will do! Things are starting to get very exciting!
