TIGF, well almost. It is 1130cst and I really need to go to bed. I just wanted to post this update and off to sleepyland. Things seem to be really picking up now. Isak sent emails to his friends to see if they want to come over for our 'little ceremony' and it is turning out a little bigger than expected. I am actually ok though, not as stressed as I was when trying to plan the 'big wedding'. If his mom comes over, then I will have my parents come over so at least they can meet for the one and only time. So far, I have the dress, the wedding bands, the photographer... what else, AH YES a location!!!! I am going to start looking at parks in the area so we can visit them and see if they have a gazebo we can use, in case of rainy weather. I also talked to my friend, Carrie today. She is my matron of honor. Since I plan to be in the Columbus, Ohio, area for the 4th of July, I was thinking it my be good to have a little bridal shower then as well so I can see all my friends there and let them know what is going on and update them on the happenings. Carrie has a lot going on in her life as well, she and her husband, which just got married last August, are looking to buy a new house. Sooooo, we may have the party there!
I also learned something about the marriage license. Once we find out the location, I can then get the license. Illinois is very particular about that. You have to get the license for the county you are getting married in. I printed off some info so I can read that this weekend. ok, my eyes are getting really droopy now so I am off!!!
