I'm getting married.

I think it's finally starting to hit me that I'm getting married.  Just a month and a half ago, Chris and I got engaged, and in 137 days, we will be getting married.  Quick engagement to say the least (6 months to the day), but I'm certainly excited for it.  And you know what?  Chris is excited for it, too. You might be saying, "Well I sure hope he is..."--but I mean, it's just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, knowing that he loves me and wants to be with me for the rest of our lives!

So enough of the mushy stuff...

Chris and I are doing fairly well with the wedding planning thus far.  Things that are crossed off the list are as follows:

• Church
• Reception location 
• Caterer
• DJ
• Engagement photos
• Dress

I like to think that we're doing fairly well.

Two more things I'd like to share.  One is that I think I'm wearing my grandmother's wedding dress.  I went dress shopping with Mom and my future mother-in-law a couple of weeks ago, and I came home with a dress.  However, the entire time since I bought the dress, I've been contemplating whether I should have chosen my Grandma's dress.  I'm calling an alterations person tomorrow with whom I have already met and shown the dress, and I'm going to see how much she estimates alterations will cost.  Without giving too much away (Chris reads this blog), Grandma's dress had sleeves (it's from the '50s), and those sleeves will be removed, as well as a couple of other alterations.

The second thing is that we just got our engagement photos back from the photographer--Matthias Orfield.  Matthias was SO much fun to work with, and he took some great shots.  Interesting fact: Chris and Matthias went to high school together...and they are both photographers!  Check out some of Matthias' amazing photos at his flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/people/matthiasorfield/

Here is a preview of a couple of our shots.

Aren't we precious?
