I got excited over a spool of ribbon; it was dark red and pale green and perfect.

Our wedding is a year and a half away but today my FI and I are taking our first official tour of a reception site. No, we probably won’t make a decision today, but even just going makes me terribly giddy!

Super excited about ordering all my BM dresses from Jcrew- at 1/2 the price!!!!! Crazy to be super excited about a piece of clothing that I am not wearing :)hehe, alsoI think my mom is just as excited about certain things as I am- ie: I found another candy buffet jar!!!!

I found the most perfect hairpin ever earlier in the week, and felt, as you say, a crazy sense of satisfaction over it. But it is so perfect for my gown, a tiny detail that just…clicked and made me feel creative and, just for a second, the tiniest bit in control with the wedding just two weeks away. Like perhaps the small details will combine to have a big impact.

I know what you mean! I’m glad I have a friend who’s also engaged so I have someone to share with who’s not totally put off by wedding excitement.

YAY! yay! yay! to you all!

I ordered my Save The Date Magnets on Monday and it made my whole day!! My FI just looked at me when I started jumping up and down and clapping when I saw the final design.

I just came up with an invitation idea (i.e. saw something I could coopt on a knotty bio). When I saw the idea I was soooo excited - I was looking for something REALLY different since we’re having a small destination wedding so have room to make the DIY projects seriously complicated. I called my fiance who suggested we send out friends 6-packs instead, then I called my mom who was properly excited. Now I know whom I should call first! As an aside have you noticed that when you mention you own wedding ideas to your (recently) married friends - they seem to automatically compare them to their own wedding and then start defending their choices. I feel like I am constantly saying “YOUR wedding was absolutely perfect and SO YOU,” and inside thinking “now listen to me for a minute.”

Ohhh, sooo many things made me giddy!! Finding the perfect sash/brooch/bracelet/earrings, stamps, uhm, shoes… paper, card box! I could go on and on and on…

We had so much fun picking out our outfits. In fact we had fashion show night. I would put on an outfit and walk through the living room, then sit on the couch. He would do the same. Then of course we both had to check ourselves out together!

That was the only thing FI got really excited about. That and we could walk into the reception with the Star Wars theme.

I can totally relate!…Just today I caught the preview of the Macy’s sale and was able to get some great jewelry for my bridesmaids and moms at awesome sale prices!….I’m not sure which I was more excited about - getting such great deals or checking off another wedding “to-do”…..lol

I’m taking my friends out to brunch & spa sessions… And I’m going to officially ask them to be my bridesmaids!! I know they will all say “yes”, but I wanted to make it official and special.

I totally agree Miss Toucan! I just got an email telling me that my embossers have shipped and I immediately picked up the phone to call my FI. He was as excited as me!

I am excited because I’ll have my pro pics by Monday (or at least that what she said). Mr. Onion told me not to expect them until Tuesday — that way I won’t be bummed out if they are “late” but will be super excited if they are “early!”

I’m living in NYC but we decided to get married in Philly. So finally after going down to Philly for the past 3 weekends, going to 12 sites, we finally decided on the Radisson-Warwick on Sept 6! Yayyyyyy!!!! So I’m super ecstatic that we finally decided so we can relax in NYC for one weekend….until the next task

I got some invitations in the mail today and they are definitely the most perfect invitations in the world–for me. It literally brought tears to my eyes. FH likes them….hope they pass mom’s muster.
