I had my Chicago shower on Sunday in the ‘burbs and it was such a wonderful time.
It was one of the first sunny and half-way warm Sundays in months which made it all the better.
I wore a Kate Spade dress that I am obsessed with…..
and an extra bonus for me is that I’ll be able to wear it a million times and just change the accessories.

I am not the most rational shopper with dresses and don’t always buy things with tons of different options for wearing.
I was so excited to finally wear those red heels for something.

the tribal/colorful printed dress
I’m obsessed with it.
the shower was a great warm up for the wedding in terms of
a complete and utter anxiety attack with everyone staring at you…..
a complete and utter anxiety attack with everyone staring at you…..
my upper lip and armpits were sweating the entire time I was opening gifts I swear.
it’s just so awkward. I’m a loud-ass extrovert until you put me in a public situation.
There were so many pictures of me with seriously (insert bad word) messed up facial expressions…..
if it was possible, I looked even more akward than I felt.
yeahhhhh…..
I mean….. Good God.
terrifying.
it was so amazing that my sister came in to surprise me 🙂 best surprise ever.
such a wonderful weekend 🙂
Our latest wedding debacle is the getaway-car.
We just had our second car that we’ve booked cancel.
It has become the biggest pain in the neck ever.
Apparently booking with me is a death wish….. literally.
And apparently all of the owners of antique convertibles are very, very old themselves.
The first car, there was a death in the family and they are scattering ashes the weekend of June 7th. Then we finally found a second car, and last week the owners wife fell and broke her hip so they can’t drive the car to Atlanta anymore.

yikes. I’m afraid to find another car for fear something worse will happen to these poor people!
sooooo we are back to square one with less than two months to go.
I told Kip that at this point, I am hopping on his back and we are just waving goodbye as we run down the driveway of the club to the hotel.

The hotel is seriously right around the corner from our country club so maybeeeeee this is our best bet.
plus it would just be so classy and elegant….they looks so romantic in that gif.
but seriously…. I really don’t want to take the time to find something else to leave in… so I am adding this to the list of possible options because at this point I don’t give a damn 🙂
I purchased one of these adorable address stamps off of etsy.
I wanted something to use for our thank you notes, and we clearly aren’t married yet, but I am tempted I am totally going to to use the stamp for my notes now and just write “soon to be” above it.
Writing “soon to be” still saves me from writing out my entire name and address, right? 🙂

I’ve been ordering gifts for my bridesmaids, and while I can’t share what they are, I’ll share some of the things I’ve found that I decided not to do.
Where I need some gift-giving help:
— groomsmen gifts
— mother of the bride/groom/parents/grandparents gifts
Please comment with any ideas — your honeymoon comments helped so much you have no idea (Layci you especially!)
