I would say, cheesily enough, knowing that at the end of it that I'll finally be own my own, like a real adult, with FH.

The planning is slowly killing me I've decided...I'm not having fun anymore and I just want it to be over lol.

Oh no Ali, thats not good. You have so much time until your wedding you need to step back and try to enjoy it a little.

For me I have loved every second of it. First of all I am a planner by nature and probably missed my calling since in HS (after planning 2 proms, 4 floats, and a number of other school events) everyone told me I should be a cruise director.

But also I am enjoying it because I am just tackling one thing at a time. I am not worried about schedules and checking things off the list according to someone elses timeframe. I am just taking one big task at a time and tackling it. I loved looking at RHs, I loved talking to photographers , discussing ideas with the florist, trying on dresses with my mom and then having my dad go back with me to help us make final decisions, sitting with my parents at the invitation store designing our invitation. Its all been fun.

My favorite part though is a tie between picking the band, since we went to hear them at a concert at the Jones Beach Bandshell and picking out BM dresses with all my bridesmaids and my mom and then going to lunch after. The only part I hate so far is organizing the guest list, especially because people are not getting me the addresses I need.

every part of the planning has been amazing !!!!. discussing the details has made us all closer and gives us something happy and fun to talk about

my fav part is designing and making all my DIY stuff.... this way i know no one else will have the same thing since it was made by my hands not in a factory

my favorite part is having this vision in my head coming more and more true with each new vendor or purchase i make for the wedding. i loved when i found the reception location.. i loved meeting with the florist. after i booked the Dj.. with each thing I get done i feel like its that much closer to my vision becomming a reality.

the moment i look forward to the most is walking down the aisle and just seeing fh in a room full of people... but i think i will only focus on him as if he were the only one in the room.

my least favorite part is.. picking out my dress. ugh i hate hate hate it! i have to lose a ton of weight.. nothing looks good. im just ugh disgusted. i cant wait for that to be over with.

i love the martha stewart aspect of it--picking flowers, linens, dresses, placecards, etc.

making things pretty
