Well, well, bloggyland. It seems that, like so many before me, I’ve fallen victim to a pre-wedding blogging hiatus. But I’m back just in the nick of time. With pictures—fancy!

To be honest, I thought I had our whole wedding pinned down. I’ve been pro-active, organized, prepared. No. Wrong. As we’ve met with vendors, they ask me questions like, “Who will be serving as your ushers?” My response? “Durr…I don’t know…” Even after attending dozens of weddings as a guest, I just didn’t happen to internalize such details.

We’re also in the midst of a LOT of vendor appointments. This week alone:

• Final appointment with DJ (/must have music decisions finalized)
• Meeting with pastor to run through ceremony (/must have ceremony readings finalized)
• Another hair trial (/must make sure I have better inspiration pictures this time)
• Final dress fitting (/must consume carrot sticks and water instead of kettle corn and Sugar-Free Red Bull)
• Appointment with florist to go over new ideas (/must come up with solid ideas with pictures for reference)

Yikes. I think I’ll take that Red Bull after all. Other goings on?

I recently attended a bridal shower in my honor, wherein I ate a lot of crepes and was quizzed about my affianced. And nailed it. Here I am, corsage and all, gesticulating as I explain the inner workings of my partner’s brain:

Also attempted: trying not to be too awkward as I opened gifts in front of people. Failure!, as evidenced by my awkward glee in the following picture:

And now I shall offer you some hard-hitting advice for how to get lots of stuff done in a short amount of time before your wedding. Hint:

Pdog recently got into Friday Night Lights, which possibly the best TV drama of all time. I can’t. stop. watching. But it’s two weeks before our wedding; how could I justify sitting in front of the TV? Simple. Come up with ways to keep my hands busy.

I magically came up with more tasks that could be completed on the couch, just so I could spend more time with Tim Riggins and Matt Saracen. Packing up bridal party gifts and putting them in the car? Placing candles in all my centerpieces? Pre-burning taper candles that I can’t light at the venue? All good excuses:

These are surreal days. Anyone else running around like a crazy person? And more importantly, Tim Riggins or Matt Saracen? I’m also kind of developing a crush on Luke Cafferty…? It’s okay, Pdog knows.
