Wedding Plans!

It is just over two months until our family gets married!!!

I am thankful that we can plan a great vacation and a family wedding with my family and the new additions to my family. I am thankful that we will be able to share this time with some of the people who care about us.

As we tweak our plans to ensure that everyone has a good time, all three of us are excited as the details come together. We have changed beach locations and dates. It all seems like just the right fit for the three of us. The irony that our Slurpee loving family is getting married on 7/11 has not been lost on us. We are considering wedding photos at a 7-11, slurpees in hand. Wedding planning sites say to make the day as personal as possible so I guess we need to acknowledge what makes our family a family and just go with it... no matter how cheesy it is.

I am also thankful that the paramedic is okay with not having a fancy dinner on our wedding day and is willing to consider the idea of just diving into a big bucket of freshly steamed seafood. :) I think it would be cute to wear a plastic lobster bib over a white wedding gown. Slurpees and fresh crab... what a glorious way to end a day.

Today, as well, I am grateful that we found the paramedic shoes and a shirt.. but the hunt continues for pants that are more than "just pants."

I also give thanks that my surrogate brother is no longer experiencing "technical" difficulties and that he and his lovely wife are coming to our family wedding. Super duper yay!

Now, if I could only talk my hair stylist into coming...
