COUNTDOWN = SIX MONTHS!

Can you believe that six months from today I will be Mrs. Herron! Ahh! Thrilling. Exhilarating. Scary. Crazy. All of those things at once, pretty much. I just can't believe it. We have been engaged for over fifteen months, and we're almost there!

I feel like there's just so much to do still. And there is! I was looking at my "Wedding Countdown" that has been hanging on our refrigerator for a couple months now, and boy, am I behind... Still need to:

  • Pick an officiant. But I've been told you can find one in like two months, so I guess I won't stress too much about that one.
  • Choose the wedding party. I'm still waiting to hear back from Eric to finally figure out my bridesmaid situation.
  • Enroll in a bridal-gift registry.
  • Shop for bridesmaid dresses. Again, the above dilemma. More to come...
  • Pick a photographer. More like, make a final decision if we are going to hire a pro or go with someone we know... Decisions, decisions. 
  • Mail save the dates. I'm actually working on this one!
That's all the stuff that should have been done by the six month mark. Oh boy.  At least I have good excuses for everything....

Back to bridesmaid dresses... I have been doing a little research on them. I know I'll have to plan a trip with my bridesmaids (whoever they may be) in December when everyone is home for the holidays. I've been thinking about the trip, and the dresses. Here are a few dresses I like.

Option 1: Short dresses



Both dresses are cotton sateen. Sierra tried the first dress on when we went wedding dress shopping and it looked amazing on her. My only problem with short dresses is that the wedding is in April, so it could be kind of cool to begin with. Secondly we moved the wedding to the morning rather than afternoon, so chances are it might be even cooler. Basically, I don't want my girls to freeze.

Option 2: Long dresses


These three dresses are jersey material, so basically, my girls wouldn't be freezing and they would be pretty darn comfortable, as well.

So those are the dresses I'm liking right now. Ya never know when I'm going to change my mind though. Also, we might see other dresses when shopping. Oh, and the dresses are all in watermelon pink, as that is what color we have all decided on. Woohoo.

Alright, that's about all for today.
