My Headpiece Dilemma

I really don't want a veil. But I want a statement hair piece that's beautiful and will work with my dress. There are intricate little details on my dress that incorporate tiny pearls. Here's what I've found (all from Etsy).

I'm leaning toward the third or fifth one...or second... It's so hard to decide!Thoughts?? Opinions??

Wedding Day Schedule

...also known as My Type A Personality on display. I'm embarrassed to admit that this shouldn't of been as much fun as it was. I created my 'Day of Schedule' in Microsoft Word with the hope that all of our helpers, bridal party, parents, and more awesome people who are lending a hand the day of will know exactly what to do and it will run smoothly.

It's still tentative but this is how it's looking...

I have four bridesmaids and myself, is that enough time to get ready? Also, I know there's no way in hell the ceremony will last one hour...we will be lucky if it lasts a half hour...but I factored in that time because I'm sure we'll be running late, so that's where we make it up.

Did you do anything similar?

Reception Layout

It's done, decided, finished! Woo! After having our final consultation with our caterer, I was able to put the final touches on our layout for the reception. 

Ignore all the crap on the right. 15 tables with 7-10 guests per table. If I had the ceremony part attached we would be getting married pretty much where I'm typing this. So our guests have to travel a grand total of 24 steps to get to the num-nummy food after they watch me cry like a baby at the alter. Tears of joy, of course. :)

Now, I'm going to attempt to get a head start on the seating... wish me luck!

Shot to the heart

Well, it was bound to happen. Just experienced my first Marriage Skeptic. As soon as my boss announced to her visiting friend that I was getting married in a little over a month I felt her wrath. 

"When I hear people are getting married, I usually say ARE YOU SURE?!"

Pretty darn, lady, thanks.

"Oh, my boyfriend and I are getting promise rings... Promise-to-never-get-married rings, that is."

That's great for you. Have a nice non-marriage.

But now, this encounter is bugging me. What happens in someone's life that makes them so jaded? Good lawd, please don't let that happen to me.
