Super Bowl Sunday

So, It is 36 hours after my crazy proposal to tie the knot in 3 weeks time.  We have decided on the place, but I had not yet contacted the venue to secure the date (not that I was worried they were going to book another reception).  I had the dress, but what about my MOH and MOB.  So we headed out to the mall to search for more dresses.  Having only one attendant, I told my MOH she could wear any color she felt most comfortable in.  She could wear any style she felt comfortable in.  My one request, which I knew she would honor... don't spend too much money, she may never wear the dress again.  My mother on the other hand, if she looked good in the dress and she liked it, then she should buy it.  I would avoid looking at the price tag.  My mom found a few dresses to try on and one looked quite lovely on her.  With 20 days until the wedding the Mother of the Bride has a dress.  Now, I really should book the restaurant.

I sat in Macy's outside the ladies room, while my MOH "powdered her nose" and I called the venue.  I spoke with the hostess leaving a message that our Feb 23rd wedding was a go!  I would email the owners when I returned home to arrange a time to pay the deposit and discuss the details.  WOW!!  It is really happening!

With the venue and 2 dresses secured there was still a lot of work to do.  My MOH and I checked out a few more stores for her dress, and dresses for my future step daughters/flower girls.  Why on earth is everyone worried about my shoes?  Don't they understand that I can wear my cowgirl boots... no one is going to see my shoes in that dress.  But we had to look at shoes.

I am VERY ungirlie when it comes to shoes.  I hate buying shoes.  I do think some shoes are cute, but if they cost too much or are not comfortable, then there is no point in me owning them.  With this said my darling prince is just about the same height as me, so I wanted flats or a very minimal heel.  Shoe styles are currently all high heels, or casual flats.  At this point I really did not want to deal with shoes.

It is of course Super Bowl Sunday and although my team wasn't playing I wanted to be home to watch the game.  It was now about 4:30 and I had been up since 4 am.  It was time to trek home.

I did not have the energy in me to be social while the game was on.  I watched the game and commercials while finalizing the online invitation and guest list.  I sent out emails to those family members that I had contact info for and attempted to gain emails for those that needed to be invited.  The game ended and I hit send on Punchbowl to the first round of guests to be invited.
