This post is not meant to sound braggy, but I can see how it mght from the title. The title is not meant to imply that we are done with the planning and are just going to sit around watching TV for the five months until the big day. We don't have too many things to do really: cake, the men's attire, and the invitations are the big things left to go (plus a hundred some-odd little to-do's).
One of my best friends gave me some advice, which lately, I have really appreciated. She told me that once I had picked out my dress, I shouldn't pick up another bridal magazine, because it would only make me second guess myself. I didn't think that it would be that much of a problem. I feel like there is so much time until the wedding, and it's been months since I made some of these decisions, so the "vision" of the wedding is getting a little fuzzy around the edges. Which means that I have wondered if I can really trust the florist with the centerpieces or not (which I can). I just need to stop thinking about everything, which means that I want to get the rest of the decisions made, so I only have to worry about the little things.

The Groom's Attire
Oh my. I must admit, when I was a little girl, I didn't really "play wedding" all that much, but when I did, I certainly didn't think that much about what the groom was going to wear.
My groom, however, is putting quite a lot of thought into it. We had multiple discussion on appropriate attire. The timing of the wedding is the chief cause of concern. The ceremony will take place at two in the afternoon, but the reception won't start until six in the evening, meaning that it will be dark during the reception. If the ceremony and reception were both during the day (as my fiance has informed me), the choice would be simple: a morning coat. If both took place after sunset, a tuxedo would be more in order.
I think I may have finally convinced him that while a tuxedo would not be the traditional choice of garment, that most people, especially those attending our wedding, would find a tuxedo acceptable. Apparently, I have only just started a series of long discussion, as we must now discuss the appropriate collar, vest or cummerbund, and what the groomsmen will be wearing.
