Wedding Week!

I'm getting MARRIED in three days. :)

And to be completely honest with you, it still doesn't feel entirely real. Despite the hundreds (although, at this point, it feels like it's closer to thousands) of hours of planning, I still have a hard time realizing that this thing is actually happening. Of course, I am super excited...but it still just feels surreal, that's all. I am guessing that when I put on my gown Saturday morning, it'll feel pretty darn real. ;)

I've spent the better part of this week worrying, thanks to Hurricane Sandy. My heart goes out to the millions of people who have had to face the very devastating effects of Sandy. I am incredibly thankful that here in Boston we were spared any major damage. And I'm also thankful that where we're getting married in upstate NY was also spared. The aftermath of the storm where we are and will be this week is nothing compared to other parts of the country. I know that our wedding guests in various places along the East Coast are all safe, and for that, I am grateful. I am also thankful that Hurricane Sandy came earlier in the week and not later, closer to our wedding...

Although my heart will still be with Sandy's victims for the rest of this week, it's also time to move forward and focus on the exciting celebrations that are just days away! So much time and effort have gone into the preparations for this special day, and I can't wait to see it all come together. It's amazing to think that we will have so many of our family and friends in one place all at the same time. I hope to remember to take a few minutes here and there throughout the day to take a step back and realize how amazing it really is. There have been a few small snafus here and there despite our careful planning (and I'm told, that's always the way, no matter how well you plan). But so long as I'm married to the love of my life come this Saturday, I will be a happy gal. :)

I'll be back in touch next week with you all, hopefully with some pictures of our
WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!
