Wedding Rush

As you might be able to guess, life has been a little crazy with planning for a wedding. I can now truly sympathize with those that say the semester they planned a wedding was the hardest they had ever had :)

In the last couple of weeks we have rented my tuxedo for the wedding, bought another suit for the reception, attempted to figure out logistics for our Utah open house, looked at pricing for various catering and food options for that open house, looked at hair extensions, white shoes, dropped of bridesmaid’s dresses, got temple recommends, applied for a marriage license, and Emily had a bachelorette party.

Still, in the midst of all that there was some breaks. Last week was conference, and Emily’s brother was singing in the Saturday afternoon session. Emily’s parents came down for this, and so we had a fun weekend with them together. It was good to be able to spend some time with them.

We also had a really fun time at seeing some old friends Karin and David. Emily and I know them from the FLSR, and so it was great that we were able to have dinner with them and catch up on old times. It is just sad that they might be leaving Provo before we get back at the end of the semester. Hopefully that doesn’t happen and we can see them again, but that is a little selfish to hope for :)

Emily and I also got to have several small dates, which always helps things. They are probably what keeps us sane. I am glad that we had this time together. And that is where we are now, still rushing frantically to get things finished, but hopefully with some other small moments to help it all go well.
