So how are the wedding plans?

The most frequently asked question I receive these days is “how are the wedding plans?” Short answer: They’re going. In terms of major planning there’s been a bit of lull (as evidenced by my infrequent entries).

In reality, there are a lot of little things going on that I can’t imagine most people would care to hear about. But I’m gonna tell ya anyway. For example, I began my search for a ketubah. Woohoo! Thanks to ketubah.com I can spend hours searching for an art-deco marriage contract from the comfort of my own couch. Modern luxury at its best. While I (sort of) watched the Fiesta bowl with Matt the other night, I also spent time surfing between ketubah.com, shopbop.com and cnn.com. Now that’s what I call a good football game.

I was at friend’s apartment the other night and commented on the lovely ketubah hanging in her bedroom. How silly of me to ask where she got it. Ketubah.com, of course. It’s the place to be. Now we just need to agree on someone to sign the thing…

Switching gears to my Chicago shower which is set for April, my future mil (mother in law) told me that instead of putting party favors on each table, her friends who are throwing my shower want to make a donation to a charity. Best idea I’ve heard in weeks. Who really needs another pink pad of paper anyway? My first thought was to have the money donated to JDRF, but then again, enough about me already! I’ve decided that the donation should go to the Jack Paige scholarship foundation (that was my grandpa). The foundation was started by my cousin Lauren and helps send inner-city kids to college. Nice, right? My f-mil also told me her friends are having a “shower meeting” this week (4 months in advance) to discuss the details of my shower. How funny! I feel like I should provide the coffee and doughnuts…
