I had the pleasure of attending Jarrod and Nicci's rehearsal tonight. Of course standing there made me think about my own wedding. I have begun to have these little wedding panic attacks. They aren't about anything in particular. There is just so much that goes into that day. I am a nervous person to begin with. I am not apprehensive about the actual marriage, just the event itself. And I'm a little more than ecstatic to be marrying the love of my life.
I feel sorry for those that have to be around me the day before. I don't think I will be a bridezilla, just an unmanageable mess. I would like to apologize in advance. I would consider taking something to relax my nerves but I would probably turn out like Molly Ringwald's sister in Sixteen Candles. (If you have never seen this movie, I highly recommend watching it along with any other 1980's John Hughes movies.)

Hard to Believe
Every time I think about it, it begins to feel more surreal. I will be married to Dusty Merrill in 136 days. This is something I have patiently waited for for six years.
Things finally feel like they are coming together. Dusty has chosen his groomsmen: Jeremy Batten, Seth Campbell, Samuel Massey, and Ryan Merrill. We met with Brad and Stephanie to make plans for the ceremony. I ordered and received my invitations. Dusty is working on the save-the-dates... aren't you Dusty?
I got a scare a few weeks ago while I was at work. My phone rang and I picked it up thinking it was a subbing call, when it was our liaison at Fairmont State in charge of scheduling our reception hall. She notified me that the Relay for Life needed to use the space the night before for their Survivor's Dinner and asked if we would be able to decorate the morning of the wedding. I proceeded to inform her that it was a brunch wedding and there would be no time before to do such things. She also informed me that we had not paid our down payment on the hall (which she told us wasn't necessary when we visited to confirm our arrangements). After assuring her that I would get the check to her that day, she said she would talk to the group. While she did this, I called my mom to inform her of the situation. After a few phone calls were made, we had it all worked out. The group chose to use another room on campus. What could have been a huge mess thankfully fizzled out to nothing.
On Sunday I took a trip to Pittsburgh with my mom and three bridesmaids, Lauren, Sara and Renee. We had specific missions for our visit and accomplished almost all of them. I bought a few remaining items to my wedding day ensemble. I looked at junior bridesmaids dresses for Rachel. We also had to choose shoes for the bridesmaids. I purchased the items needed to assemble my reception center pieces. Oh and we stopped at Sarris on our way home. I'm not sure that was actually on our list though. ;-)
There is so much going on in my life right now. I know this wedding is going to be here before I know it.
