Yes, some people wait until they have everything all together to tell you about it. “Look, my invitations are done! Here are the pictures I took while logging the entire experience over the past four months carefully organized and showing you the whole process! I am so organized and nice and my invitations are pretty!”
I have concluded that am not one of those people. I am way to excited about each little step to hold off, especially since by the time things are done I am damn sick of them. I sent the bulk of our invitations yesterday, and as I was standing in line I was remembering other peoples’ posts saying things like, “I was sad to see them go! Goodbye invitations, I’ll miss you!”
Guys, I was like, “Invitations, you sure are pretty, but GO AWAY!”
Anyway, the whole point of this was just to say that I don’t have much to say right now, no huge posts with our completed guest list or beautiful favors, but I do have a couple of milestones:
Vest OMG!
Thumbs up for pants!
The whole deal, in muslin!
It doesn’t fit quite right, but we’re working on it! Hooray!
And you guys? Thanks again for supporting this guy. I love your comments, even if I don’t always respond, and you guys make all the writing so, so worth doing.
If you haven’t said hi before, say hi! Tell me who you are! Tell me what you like. And then tell me what you’re excited about this weekend, or what your recent milestones are!
the suit is totally awesome. i was there when my cousin proposed to her girlfriend and she was all in a suit and looked stunning! im so excited for you guys and love reading all your blogs! congrats!!
Can’t wait to see how the suit turns out, I’m sure it will be awesome!
The suit is potentially very awesome - It looks good already. Your post reminds me that we really need to start looking into invitations…I don’t think I can procrastinate this for much longer!
I’m in Boston as well — so, hey neighbor!
My FH and I have already done the marriage license thing once. (We considered getting married this summer at city hall, later decided to put it off until next year and have a “real” wedding). We were told to say the oath in unison, and we did pretty well until I cracked up laughing in the middle of it. We just sounded so ridiculous!
Your suit is going to look amazing! I am loving reading your blog and wish you all the best!
Thanks for all your comments, everyone! Ah, @rachaelrobin, I think we put off our invites until the last minute we should have - possibly longer. Our dress consultant’s daughter is getting married the same day we are, and at our fitting we asked if she’d sent her invites… our consultant was like, “Uh, yeah. Ages ago!” Oops.
Yay! Exciting things are happening.. don’t worry too much about getting the invites late- the important people have already planned on it anyway 
The suit’s looking good! I’m glad you decided to go with the custom made route; I think it’ll turn out great.
We are in Boston too and I love reading about other Boston brides We get to apply for our marriage license this week! And we sent out our invitations last week and already have 27 guests
Love your posts!
I thought you were wearing a “traditional” wedding dress. (?) Did I miss a post -what is the suit for? I think with a few darts in the vest, it’ll look great! (I was kinda like wth until I realized it was a muslin mock-up.)
@sboston06: Aww, I’m jealous. We have 1 yes and three nos… so -2 guests? Okay, one guest. Exciting!
@eileen marie: I am wearing a dress for the ceremony and suit for the reception!
I’ve never said hi before, so hi! I’ve loved reading your progress in wedding planning. As much as I read wedding blogs and watch wedding shows (My Fair Wedding is on in the background, must confess) what I love about Weddingbee is that it’s personal and you can really make a connection with the stories of other brides going through the same things I am! I’m so excited to see how your wedding is going to turn out!!!
I’ve got nothing deep to offer over here, but I wanted to say hi! This weekend I got excited about DIYing a bunch of stuff for the wedding, made a prototype decoration, and realized I had practiced premature crafting. So now I’m frustrating my fiance because I’m stomping around the house pouting because I want to make stuff but can’t figure out how we’ll use it! Your weekend looks much more productive frankly. 
Love the suit!! Can’t wait to see it in all it’s completed glory.
Also - I mailed out our invitations last Thursday. I was not sad to see them go! It was a big sigh of relief to push them across the counter to the post office worker!
Actually, you are supposed to send out your invitations 6-8 weeks in advance. So you are actually a tiny bit early, and your consultant’s daughter is way, way early!
@HQB: Whew, we’re actually five weeks away and sent them last week… so right under the wire! yay us!
@Encore: that was a problem I had at the beginning but now that we’re only 5 weeks away we are in full crafting mode!
I love reading your posts Seahorse! You always have such interesting things to say and questions to ask. I think I will be like you with respect to the invites - “good-bye invites! I am SO glad you are done and gone!” - but that is quite a ways off for me. I also think your suit looks good!
My recent milestones - bought my dress a few weeks ago! We also decided on our photographer, although we still have to work out the details before we sign a contract. Plus, I designed and ordered my STDs from Vistaprint the other day! I have been doing pretty good for milestones lately!
@dance: Ooooh those ARE good milestones! You’ll have to let me know what you think of the vistaprint stuff… I use them for my business cards and am now considering them for our thank you cards.
@Miss Barrettes & @Mrs. Trail Mix: thanks
Hi Seahorse! I’m a wedding planner for a living and finally planning my own wedding for 11/5/10! I’m excited this weekend because my invitations went out on Thursday and I ALREADY have 2 response cards in my hands! I’m also excited because my fiance and I leave to Texas on a vacation for his grandma’s 80th birthday on Tuesday! Whoo Hoo for traveling!
I love love LOVE reading your posts. They make me smile. I’m happy your invites went out too and your suit is so awesome!

Ms Seahorse, Boston Age and Occupation: 25, Veterinary Jane-of-all-trades Fiancee's Age and Occupation: 36, former non-profit fundraiser in search of something better Engagement Date: October 17, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Fort Pond Lodge About Me: By day I'm a cat-wrangler, vet tech assistant, pet-sitter, receptionist, and pre-vet student, but the rest of the time, I'm a former-roller-derby girl turned dedicated-wedding planner. I love reading, writing, bicycles, animals, roller skating, and antique-y things of all sorts. I'm a vegetarian who likes spicy foods, while Fiancee Seahorse is a meat eater who does not like spices. We live outside Boston with our menagerie: a fifty pound dog, a one-eyed, seventeen-toed, toothless cat, and a perfectly put together cat who has a penchant for pooping near rather than in her litter box. In addition to planning our small lake-side wedding, we enjoy running around with the puppy, playing board games (Scrabble, anyone?), having little adventures, talking about how we should really clean the house more, and maintaining our little garden of vegetables and wedding flowers.
