"How's the Planning Going?"

We hear this question a lot.

The first to ask it with a bit of sarcasm was my Uncle Dave.

We saw him this weekend after several months.  Far too long, cause my Aunt and Uncle are really fun to hang out with...

They got married in St. Lucia.  They did the all inclusive.  They invited whoever and if you showed up, cool, if not, no hard feelings.  They did it a bit differently because they actually got married in the Catholic Cathedral on the island.  But they did ask, with a laugh, "how the planning is going?"

With just less than 90 days, there are still some things to plan.  Uh, we have to... Let's see... We need to... Heck, who am I kidding?  We have the welcome bags and Dan's attire.  We know what Dan will be wearing, we are waiting for another sale.  We have an idea about the welcome bags but we will need the final headcount before we order anything.

My dentist and very good family friend asked if I was getting nervous.  Kind of a trick question... I'm very excited about marrying Dan.  I'm very excited to take this next, very large, step.  I have no reservations about that.  I am nervous about silly things.  Will my dress be too hot? (yes, I'm preparing to be really HOT)  Will mother nature be kind that day? (really, out of my hands and I shouldn't worry) Will my guests be happy? (if you are on a tropical island where all you have to worry about is makings sure to apply sunscreen - I hope you would be happy)

So in all honesty - everything is perfect.

• We've got a few things to do and plenty of time to do them.
• We are both very exited to actually get married and BE married.
• And I, Carly, the worrier of the two, am making things up to worry about.

Dave and Mary - thanks for showing us the way.
