6-7-8

My wedding date has changed to June 7. I am excited to move it up, but it is going to be stressful getting everything done in time. We are going to have the ceremony and reception at Thalian Hall. I want to send out a save the date this week. It is not much notice for people, but I am ready to be married to Hart. I want to live together so bad. He is such a good guy. I think I am really fortunate to have him in my life.
I think our count is 210 right now. But yesterday Hart's mom said there may be more she wants to add. The place only holds 200. I am sure that there will be people that will not come. I have made a deposit for the caterer and Thalian Hall. There are so many more things to do. I wish Hadley was here to help. But I have a couple of girls here that are going to help. I hope that the date works for Kathleen. She is going to help me with make up and hair. She is the best! My friend Briana is going to take pictures. I think she will do a good job. I am sure it will all come together, but it is a little scary to think I have less than 3 months to do everything.

Lydia

My brother, Matt and his wife Mary had a beautiful baby girl, Lydia, on St. Patrick's Day. Lydia was born March 17th at 2:40 PM. She weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 18 1/2" long. I am a proud aunt. I love to see Will look at her and try to touch her. I am glad to have a nephew and a niece to spoil.

Weight Watchers

Next week I am going to start Weight Watchers. I want to lose some weight before the wedding. I have wanted to do this for awhile, but not by myself. My good friend Ashley has been going, so I am going to go with her. I hope this works for me, I am not able to do it by myself. Since dating Hart I have gained so much weight. He likes to eat out a lot. When I went to try on dresses I was so sad at how I looked, because I was so small the first time. Hopefully I will get in a smaller size in a few weeks.

Possible Change of the Wedding Location

We were set for Thalian Hall where I have given a $200 deposit that I will not get back. Now there has been an offer to use someone's land in Burgaw, 30 minutes outside Wilmington. It is supposed to be absolutely beautiful. I have not seen it yet. I am not sure if having everything there would save money or not. I would want a tent, a dance floor, and then tables and chairs. But it would be a lot less formal and I like that. I would still wear a wedding dress, but Hart could wear khakis and a nice white shirt. The other thing that I like... which is silly... I could have the date that I want: 06-07-08. I like that. But a June wedding gives us less time to plan. I go back and forth. I think I will know better after I actually see it. I will try to remember to take a camera and post some photos on here. Some days I want to just go to the court house to get married.
