So its the week of the wedding. I can't believe it is actually this weekend. Not only because it came up so fast but also that means I only have 3 weeks till my due date!!! THREE WEEKS. This pregnancy has gone by so so fast. I think it has a lot to do with having a child already. I haven't really had time to just slow down and think about the pregnancy because Harper needs me to be there for her. Its very important to me to spend as much time with her before the new baby comes and her whole world is changed. I do worry about being able to divide my love and attention between the two kids but I know I can do it. It will all be here before we know it and is going to come if I am ready or not.
Back to wedding stuff. As strange as it seems they are still making changes this week. But that is their choice as it is their wedding, we are just supporters. I have the programs done. They may not be 100% right on the order of the ceremony but its what I had. They look pretty good if I do say so myself. At this point the only thing I am concerned about is the clothes. Not one of us has what we will be wearing for the wedding except our shoes! It just makes me nervous having all these other people in charge of our attire and I have no control over how they will fit, look or even when they will arrive!! The big thing everyone is stressing about is that they will not be able to decorate the reception site until 1pm Saturday afternoon. That is only 2 1/2 before they are suppose to be walking down the aisle. Lets hope everything gets done.
The biggest news from this weekend is we are having another wedding. Jamie (finally!!) proposed to Whitney and put a ring on it. I know Whitney has been very patiently waiting for this to happen…probably more patient then I would of been. The date is going to be Sept. 1, 2012. That is labor day weekend, which is the SD State Fair also and we are sad we might have to miss all of it. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before on here but there would be times when talking to Whitney it seemed like she had the wedding planned for the most part already but you asked her something specific like the month or date so would make a comment about needing the ring first. Well apparently that wasn't entirely true. They just got engaged this weekend but they already had the date picked, venue booked and wedding dress bought. She told Colby they already have a lot planned and have been planning things since September. This doesn't surprise me really. I started planning my wedding before Colby actually asked me. I had the month picked but not the date, colors, attendants, choices for food, etc. The one thing she already has planned/picked that I was surprised to hear was the wedding dress. She did this alone. I thought it was fun going dress shopping with my mom and friend. I think maybe Whitney's mother, sister, friends, people like that would have liked to go shopping with her. That is suppose to be a special moment for a mother and daughter but whatever. It will definitely be different watching the planning of their wedding unfold then it was watching the one this weekend. Not only does Whitney have more time but also seems to be more organized. But all of that is whatever since I am sure, just like the wedding this weekend, we will be pretty much left out of the loop. I guess its not a shock since we are on the grooms side and they usually don't have much input. Not only am I on the grooms side I am also just his sister-in-law. Not exactly the first person they will think of when planning things or talking to about what is going on.
So 2 years after Colby and I were married, two of his other brothers are following along. We are excited for everyone and it will definitely be a change. When we got married I was the only wife and none of the other boys even had girlfriends. Now 3 of the boys will have a wife within the next year and we will be in the majority now being a married couple with kids. Everyone is growing up, even though I think Colby's parents wish that wasn't the case. My hope for the future is all of us, brothers and their wives, can get along and become close, having a relationship where we are all a part of each others lives even though we won't be living right next to each other. Only time will tell and this blog, if I can keep it up!!
