It’s Down to One Week!

Posted by 43things on Aug 09 2008 | blog, wedding

I’m marrying Carlos next Saturday!

It’s down to final head counts, renting table cloths, ordering beer…stuff like that. There’s some minutia I don’t want to go into, but rest assured it’s not minutia like whether the flowers match the bridesmaid dresses, and there’s no assigned seating or that sort of junk.

Our wedding is relatively simple in that we tried not to be wasteful or vain. We wanted the marriage to take precedence over the wedding. It’s not a terribly big wedding, but it’s big enough to cause some anxiety to those of us who do not get a rush out of party-planning. People are coming from out of town, and we want to make it worth their while!

And it’s going to be fun! Carlos and I picked the music play lists and my dad’s band is playing at the end! I want to keep in mind all the things I have for which to be grateful, and know that the wedding planning will be over soon, and even the wedding will have to end some time, so I might as well enjoy this moment.

My mom is really nice. She posted an announcement of my engagement to Carlos in the Laredo Morning Times. Here’s the link:
