Holy crap! Time is flying by and I'm not getting enough done. Or at least I don't feel like I am. I have my very first craft fair this upcoming Sunday, followed by my second the very next Sunday, followed by a trip to Seattle the next weekend. Ffffff. But once these craft fairs pass, I can really focus in on the wedding prep and gush and explode anxious prepping and love everywhere.
Yesterday the man, my dad, and myself adventured to scout out a possible location for the wedding. And it very quickly and painlessly went from possible to booked. So we have an official venue for the ceremony and the reception, all at my family friend's ranch, Bucksnort Farms. I just think his property is so pretty and romantic. I love it's rustic beat up, true lived in home. Some of the man friends are going to go help clean it up some about a month before the wedding. There is a lot of weed wacking to be had. Things are a bit overgrown and wild. But I do love some of that overgrown feel. It just needs a touch up.
It will be followed with hanging lots of string lights, bunting, and some lantern things. There will also be tons of jars with candles everywhere. There are sort of three levels to the property, the top level where his tiny little house is with a lawn, a fucking massive elm tree, a nice sized deck with big fire pit, hardcore bbq, a hot tub, and a great view down over the rest of the property. Then there is the middle level, which would have been a kind of parking driveway thing but now it just has a smashed shed that a huge branch from the elm smashed and he just hasn't done anything with it. Haha. This level has a gate which leads you out and down to the large flat dirt portion of the property, which is over half of the property. Part of it has trees and some scattered benches. Then it just becomes flat dirt with that flat beat down grassy weeds. This is where we will be setting up all of the tables as well as our friend who is dj-ing. He will be on a flatbed trailer. It will be amazing. Then that flat area leads to some horses and a barn and so on to other corals and a momma cow with her calf.
It will be so beautiful. I am so in love with being there with everyone I want to spend the day with. Plus, we will be going to some natural hot springs the following morning which is maybe 15 minutes from where we will be. Ugh. So excited.
And now, I must go keep working away like a slave over my craft fair items, since I'm still not ready at all. Holy crap woah. Buuuut as soon as I have a moment to work on invites, oh, I'll be making some lovely invites for all of my lovelies.
I'm also have invite conflicts. I just don't know what to do with my extended family. I want them there but then I also don't. It sounds snotty, but I barely know who they are really. And I'm just talking about uncles, aunts, and cousins. I mean, I somewhat know a few of them. I don't even know where they each work. I don't know what to do. It makes me feel stressed out. Ehhhhhhh
