And Now We Wait...

Got the official dress!
Found the shoes!
Invitations mailed.
Found another dress
Made all necessary reservations.
Now it's time to find the bling.

And when I say bling I'm not talking race medallion...although my newest one being earned in a few weeks may work... And no, also not talking about the one that will live on my left ring finger one day. I am however, talking about something a little sparkly for the ears. Just something little, since it's not my wedding day but my (not so) little sister's big day!

Even after the wedding prep I've been involved in it seems crazy that Nini is getting married in 31 days! (Yep sister, that's your deadline.) Maybe that's because every time I'm asked "how do you like him?" I'm reminded that I haven't met my future brother in law and that I won't until only a few days prior to their union. Good thing my sister has exquisite taste and extended family has met this guy and hasn't said anything too ridiculous! Kidding Chase (and Nina)- anyone who can take a detailed email on "how to be Kate's stand in at Thanksgiving" and go for it rocks in my book. 

I've got to be honest, helping plan a wedding from overseas is crazy. Throw in time zone differences, the inability to see any dresses prior selection, no cake tastings, all means I need to count a ton on my amazing parents to do the leg work. It also means that emails are sent out at all hours of the day to make sure things fall into place. But you know what? This is my sister's day and even though the above may sound like complaining it's been totally easier than sharing a room with her growing up. Seriously...do any of you remember those wars?

At any rate, figured I owed you all a "real life update" although boating, Amalfi, and traveling are my real life activities these days...figured you'd want a more "normal person real life" update. For those I will be seeing in less than 30 days I can't wait! Seriously- between the frequent calls home, writing familiar zip codes, and making my lists for the trip home, I think California is becoming my most frequently used word.

Maid of Honor Out.
