So many things!

So many things have been happening, but I guess that's usually how it is with my posts on here.

But, let's see, let's see. Well, first, I ordered one of those personalized hangers for my dress that says "Mrs. Pickett, 10-13-12" on it and that came in the mail last week. It was the first time I've seen my "new" name in print and it was very exciting!

Then, we picked my wedding ring up from being sized and it is gorgeous. I can't wait to wear it all the time (instead of just when the house is empty, to avoid judgers!)

After that, we booked the hair and makeup lady, Caridad Vidro. Very excited to be working with her and I know she'll do a great job and make me look as gorgeous as I want!

Steve has been put in charge of the rehearsal dinner, and he's doing a great job! We are actually in the final contract phase of negotiations with Soleil Beach Club. The menu is going to be absolutely awesome and I'm glad it won't be repetitive of what we'll be serving on Saturday night for the wedding. Puerto Rico has so many wonderful dishes and I think showing our guests a variety while also having options that they are used to will be a real treat!

And today we booked our flights along with our awesome photographer and his wife's flights! SO. EXCITED!!!!!

The invites will be back from the calligrapher soon and then we will be finishing them up, stamping them and mailing them out--hopefully by the end of April or early May.

I'm sure there are other little things that I've forgotten to mention (like how I need to send these brooches to our awesome flower person ASAP; get the rest of the centerpieces ordered and shipped to my cousin in PR; finalize the timeline; lose 10 more lbs; etc.) but those are the highlights.
