There comes a point when you need to work really, really hard to step back and appreciate the big picture. Over the past few weeks, we got to meet with all our vendors again to go over the plans for our wedding day. Inevitably, little issues began to arise. First, it was the appetizers that our caterers claimed to have been a typo. Then it was the sea bass for our entree that turned out to be endangered. There were also tons of painful details to hammer out. Do we want tall or short flowers? Cake cutting before or after the dinner? Chivari chairs or chair covers? We were up several nights just choosing songs for each segment of the event. There were also the guestbook and wedding favors which we foolishly decided to make ourselves. Meanwhile, we’re still awaiting responses from delinquents who are still sitting on our invitations. At some point, between all the emails, driving around, phone calls, and more emails, I just had to sit back, take it all in, and remember what the day’s about, and how much I look forward to it.
