Wedding planning, T-minus 5 weeks
We bought our rings this week!  Mine looks like this and should be arriving within a week or so.  Emily's is a very simple platinum band that fits nicely alongside her engagement ring.  Emily also received her wedding dress this week, and I think she was not happy about having to immediately hand it over to the seamstress.

We also realized that we're within the window when we can go to the courthouse and get our marriage license.  We're almost there!  And now, we're finding that, instead of thinking about big, grand-planning kinds of things, we're now focused on wedding day logistics--who needs to be where and when, etc.  We have a draft of our ceremony and we're meeting with our officiant tomorrow to review.

Emily had her bridal shower last weekend and returned home with a bounty of gifts ranging from spa gift certificates to cookware to wine to some items that were (ahem) obviously intended to embarrass.  I can't wait to see the photos of the event.

Back to the to-do list!
