Weddingbee Blog

I must say, I am pleasantly surprised that the calm and excitement for the wedding are settling in. I am two full days away from leaving for the big day (I am taking a whole week in North Carolina before the big day). I have shared so many projects with the ‘bee (and there are more to come), but I have been light on the “emotional” talk. I am the type of person that under stress shuts off all emotional expression.

I think now that everything is coming together, the projects are getting completed, my family and friends are getting excited, we are getting fun presents in the mail… I am catching on. I don’t feel very stressed. I just feel excited.

There are some hurdles on the horizon, but honestly, I think I can take them like a true Olympian and jump right over them gracefully.

We still have to finalize our music, create a few more projects, get a marriage license (we are cutting it super close to our wedding date), but honestly, I just know everything will get done and work out.

People keep asking me what am I most excited about and I can’t narrow it down to just one thing so I thought I would share the 10 things that I am most excited about.

1. I can’t wait to see Mr. AC at the end of the aisle. I know his smile will be huge, and I know how excited he is. I am really excited for that moment.
2. I can’t wait to hear my cousin sing “To Make You Feel My Love” (by Adele) when I walk down the aisle. I know it will be nontraditional, but I know it is exactly the right song for me. I am also excited that I am including the lyrics in the program so that people will know how much the words mean to us.
3. I am excited and proud that my mom will be walking me down the aisle. She is my whole world and I am honored that she will be holding me up. And I am glad that my father will be on the other side. Our relationship has been (to put it mildly) challenging over the years, but I am glad that he will be holding up my “other side” as we go down the aisle.
4. I am excited that all of the fun projects I have worked on will be out in the open and I am excited about how many people have followed the blog and finally get to see the projects in action.
5. I am excited about the videographer and the photographer. They are both so talented and I am so glad to work with them.
6. I am excited for the food and the candy bar!
7. I am excited to have all of the people I love in one place and enjoying themselves.
8. I am excited about how gorgeous my bridesmaids will look. I have such beautiful friends and I know they will glow. 2 of them are pregnant and I am excited to have their little buns in the oven part of the big day.
9. I am over the moon that my maid of honor is my sister, Meg. She is (like my mom) my whole world. I know she is looking forward to the wedding and that makes me proud. I love her so much.
10. I am excited to become a wife. There is no one in the world that is a better fit for me, and I will be super lucky to call Mr. AC my love, my husband.

Okay, that is emotion from me. Don’t worry - I still have lots more projects over the next 2 weeks. I just thought I would show a little emotion.
