Even as nice and generous as folks have been, the ideas in this article are oh so VERY tempting at this point.
Plans are going well, for those of you who are curious. I've had one very nice shower here in Macon that Elizabeth successfully talked me through ("Start opening the gifts now, Miriam, while you don't have so much attention," or "Do you need a break? Feel free to walk around and take a breather," or -whispered in my ear- "So-and-so is leaving; they gave you the silver napkin dispenser."), and we've got a couples party in Thomasville Saturday night. Invitations have been sent; dresses have been bought (I found mine at the first place we looked; it took 3 sets of bridesmaids' ones, however, before we settled on the final decision for them); cakes, bands, and flowers have been booked. All left to do now is the program (which is such a scary thought I keep putting it off) and waiting. The waiting, I think, is the hardest.
I must give all credit to my mother, as this wedding stuff really, truly isn't my thing. She's been patient through all my whiny questions, the latest being, "Do I have to use a hokey wedding book to record all of my gifts?" and "Can't I just wear jeans to the shower like I normally do?" The answers: Yes and No, respectively. Sigh.
Elopement sounds WONDERFUL. But a wedding it'll be, and I know I'll be glad for it once the time comes. And what a wedding! You'll see!
If it'll ever just get here ...
