After Mexico Comes… the To-do List

After Mexico Comes… the To-do List

I am back to civilization after a mini-vacay to Mexico in honor of my college suitemate’s wedding! Now that the vacation laundry is cleaned and put back away with the rest of the summer clothing, and the post-vacay depression is setting in, something else has settled in too… I’M NEXT!

Yes, this was *it.* The LAST wedding I will attend before I’m a Mrs. The last wedding I was calculating into my equation for when to go full speed ahead on starting on all the little wedding details. Lawd!

Before I get started on the 9,000 things on my list, I think it’s only fitting to share some Mexican wedding fiesta-ness with the Hive. Unfortunately, I lacked a lot of photography skills during the trip so the amount of good photos to choose from was slim pickins’.

I blame it on this…

Many fruity shots

There was also a lot of…

Swimming, or trying to swim, since it got pretty chilly and cloudy

Mr. P passing out beside his margarita

The bride and groom, obv.

Sorority sisters reunited

Sweet dance moves…

The yummiest wedding cake I’ve had yet

Balloon animals (and hats)… designed by yours truly

One glorious sunny afternoon on the beach

I’ve unpacked just in time to begin on a lot of wedding to-dos this weekend. In two days time I have a hair and makeup trial, our menu tasting, an attempt at getting my ring re-sized, and my personal favorite… a champagne tasting. Since we have to provide our own alcohol at our venue Mr. P’s parents are picking up a few bottles of bubbly to test out while we eat dinner on Saturday night at their house.

Let the craziness begin, but before all that I leave you with a visual of what my life will be like when I have kids. Whenever I relax with a book on the beach I deal with a lot of this…

“Look, I’m a pirate… I have a peg leg.”

How many months (or weeks!) before your wedding will you attend your last wedding as an unmarried person?

I kind of wish we were attending someone else’s wedding before ours, but we’re the first of our friends to get married! The last wedding we went to was before we were engaged.

I remember that feeling… The last wedding I would help with, work at, be a guest at. (I love helping friends) I was ready for it to be about my wedding. Now… I am almost done with the planning, no one has helped (two have offered, but they are so much busier than I am) and I still don’t feel like its about my wedding. Secretly (or not so much) I really hope no one springs up and has a wedding before mine. I don’t usually want to shine, and I still don’t - but I do want our Event, our joining of family and friends to be the first of the “Summer” weddings. sounds silly - I know.

We were at a wedding about 7 weeks before ours and it really made everything real for me. It sounds like you have a lot of great wedding planning to look forward to soon!

It was going to be 4 weeks from my brother’s wedding to our wedding but he just moved his up to next month so it will be 4 months between them.

Hooray for destination weddings! Ahh, I miss Mexico. In regards to weddings.. one of my best friend’s and bridesladies is getting married three weeks before us, and another friend will be married a week after that.. so two weddings within three weeks of ours! No idea how that will go, lol!

Looks like a beautiful fun wedding! My last wedding was last September for Mr. BC’s brother - we weren’t even engaged yet!

We’re months away yet. But he’s coming home from deployment soon, and we’re now in the “last ____ before he comes home” stage.

We are the last of our friends to get married and most were married before we knew them! (or at least before at least one of us knew them) The last wedding we went to was in September of 2009 and the way it looks right now, the next will be ours in 2 years!

Hahaha Mr. Porcupine is hilarious! I loled at that pic. I just went to my cousin’s wedding in July, and that was the last one before mine, so 11 months. I wish I could go to more while engaged though!!
