Wedding Wednesday

So, we are nearly on the 8 week countdown. WHEN did that happen?!? So now, starts crunch time. Like, for real. I've been a maniac the past couple days tying up loose ends that I didn't even know existed. Parents gifts? Check. Going away sparklers? Double check...come up with something clever to engrave in Austin's wedding band? Still working on that... For 7 hours of your life, wedding planning sure is enormous,  but as the date gets closer and closer, Austin and I are getting SO excited to begin our lives together as husband and wife. 

I haven't done one of these lists in while, so I figured I would update it! For my own sanity too!
