Planning Positivity!

You go girl!! Amazing for staying under budget with some extra to spare!! If you end up having some extra left over will you use it towards anything? Honeymoon? Future trip? Renovations?

That's fantastic your FH is coming home! That must be so hard so kudos to you both!!

YAAAAAASS!! Spread that positivity!!!

My positive thinking is that my FH comes home tomorrow!! This last trip was 2 weeks long

Should be home for good now with the exception of him starting his new job which means more trips but for less time away.

And - I've balanced our budget here on wedding wire and it looks right now that we are juuuuust under our $20,000 budget (this includes future payments to be made) so our overhead of the extra $5,000 has yet to be touched!

That is phenomenal!!! Wow, what a special and amazing gift! Do you know where you'll go?

I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough go as well - it is definitely tough sometimes with all the opinions, options, naggers, complainers, etc. It seems like you're really pushing through it though which is fantastic!

We're definitely ahead of the game and likely don't need to do much else until we are much closer to the wedding. I'm one of those people I can only answer questions about my wedding for so long because I'm not one to be the centre of attention!

Did you pay all of your vendors ahead of your wedding day? I originally wanted to keep paying our vendors down but my FH doesn't want to. He's afraid if we pay them off, they won't show up, or won't do a good job because they already have our money. Do you have any thoughts?!

I actually would love to go to Nashville!! That sounds exciting. All of my friends who have been to Greece love it as well. It sounds like you have a very exciting year ahead!

Becky, that's amazing! What a kind and generous gift!

Love this post! I have been in a tad bad slump but rising out of it. Working on vows, almost done seating chart, still working on songs, completed the insurance and SOP for alcohol, trying on few second dresses this week. Getting closer but feeling better and not so overwhelmed. We also got told a close family friend has paid for us to take a honeymoon. Which we said no too much but they picked out few dates/packages and said we could pick. This is huge for us and means the world

We just booked a mini moon to Nashville for a quick getaway, we're so excited! His daughter is getting married early next year so we waited to find out details before booking anything - hoping to do a Greece trip maybe next fall!

Its great news to hear you have most of your TO DO L|ST about done and on track. Take time out to enjoy with each other. Walks in the evening, dining out and laying on the beach looking at the stars is nice to just get away from thoughts of what can be more peaceful than concerns from family and bridal party.

I would say for myself that it was the same as your mentioning and focused on work to know I was making the time to work more during the week for making the payments required to vendors. There wasn't much worries about the planning since it was going smoothly and let out the other ear what wasn't going to stay on thoughts of what can go wrong when not working. Although the online shopping made me feel better to get things for a low price and expecting a fast delivery from amazon site provided on some items.

My planning is all coming to an end in 9 days!!!

I've just finished tweaking my vows, wrapped the wedding party gifts and just have to sign the cards to the wedding party and FH. All that's left after that is making sure everything that needs to get there is packed and ready to go! Yay!
