I had my first dress fitting last week in NYC. My good friend and bridesmaid, Miranda Shields, came with me to get a 2nd opinion on the fit and make sure all looked good (and to make sure I stayed sane)! The seamstress had to ask me to please take the dress off - I could have stayed in it for hours. :) It's such a sparkly feeling inside to be wearing THE dress! You all will definitely see that sparkle shining through me on September 1st! Super duper excited! Oh yeah!
Big props to my Maid-of-Honor, Kathryn, for putting together what promises to be an exciting bachelorette/bridal shower weekend. Kathryn has done a great job coordinating the weekend and making sure everyone is on the same page with the planning. I'm so pumped to spend time with the amazing women in my life before tying the knot. Love you girls! Thank you all for your work in putting that together so that we may toast my becoming a Colwell in UES style!
I've already begun receiving messages of delight via email, text, and phone from friends and family who have received their invitation in the mail. A big thanks to my mom for writing out all the envelopes and putting everything together! It's so fun to see the invites packaged after all the cutting and gluing over the past month. Even from far away, my mom has been so supportive and helpful in big ways throughout this process. Thank you, mom!
Now, onward to TheKnot.com (which has begun to haunt me in my sleep) where the next 10,000 tasks await me!
