My mom has been amazing. Incredibly supportive, endlessly patient while I burble on about invites and colors and how certain other people are driving me up the wall...and I didn't even have to ask if she and my dad would take our cat for the honeymoon, she just said, 'So we're going to have Agatha, right?' She's really gotten into the idea of baking for the reception--yeah, we get a cake with Timber Point, but I want a cake buffet, and I want my mom's amazing cheesecake as the offical wedding cake. She's doing it in tiers, amazingly enough! She went gown shopping with me, and even insisted on making the first and largest payment for my gown. And she hasn't asked for anything other than an invite for a friend or two, ones where she went to their kids' weddings and needs to reciprocate (I know these people too, it's not a big deal.)

I love my mom!

I like to say that my older sister has been nothing but awesome, patient and understanding. I can run to her w/ any problems.

Thanks J.

and my dad too! He is always making me feel better about things!

FW has been great when I needed a breather from this stuff... planning has definitely been a team effort. Both sets of parents have been great, too. A few disagreements about choices here and then, but no big fights, no arguments or blowups, and both sets are being mad generous with this thing.

So far, all of our vendors have been great, patient, and working with us in our budget.

and a particular shout out to the Best Man Ever. He negotiated 'ever' as part of his title, and he's lived up to it, listening to random rants and ideas, doing a spreadsheet of multiple bachelor party options.

FH, my mom, my MOH, FMIL, a few of my BM's....all so wonderful!
