Life is pretty crazy right now. As of today there are only 69 days until the wedding and it still feels like I have a million and two things to do. Fortunately, we got most of the boys out fits done. John's suit is completely done and looks fantastic on him. We also got shirts and ties for all of the boys. Anibal's suit needed to be re-altered because they didn't take the waist in enough. Ryan was just fitted for his yesterday and Jake, John's brother, was fitted for his a few days ago. Hopefully they will all be ready to pick up on May 9th. We just need to get shoes for them now.
I'm pretty much leaving the flowers in mom's capable hands. While I think that flowers are pretty, I in no way know what I am doing when it comes to picking them out or talking to florists. Luckily, between my mom and the florist that we are dealing with, I think that everything will look great.
My dress is currently being altered and will be ready for me to pick up on May1st. I'm so excited to see it on when it fits correctly!
I have now sent out just over half of the invitations. I hit a sticking point when it came to stamps and now have to wait until tomorrow to pick more up. The people who live close to me were fortunate enough to be given a hand delivered invitation that has a bow on it. If I were to send the invitations with bows, then each invitation would take 4 stamps to mail. My inner cheapness came out at this point and I decided that there was absolutely no way that I would be paying that much. So to fix it, I had to undo all of the bows that I had tied and turn them into just a strip of ribbon with a little embellishment on it. This took for ever because I had to re-cut all of the ribbon and hot glue it in place. At least I am done with the gluing process and it is just a matter of stamping at this point. Thank goodness!
There are many other details that I am trying to work out but I think I have done enough talking for one post!

I feel honored to be one of the few who got their invitation hand delivered with the beautiful purple bow! Don't feel cheap- I wouldn't have paid to have 4 stamps per invitation either..... (But I secretly feel special for having gotten a bow, though!) The invitations as a whole are beautiful and we can't wait to see the whole finished product (the wedding) in just over 2 months. Good luck with the rest of the wedding "work." It will all be worth it in the end.
