I've got rings, chocolate and guests...what else?

I'm in the home stretch of planning my "one and only wedding" which I have thought about many times in my life but never had a clue what it would feel like to plan my wedding. My mother had been AMAZING and so excited for planning/purchasing/baking/sowing and whatever else her fabulously crafty and talented hands can get their hands on. I seriously cannot believe how much my mom can do. She is fixing girls hems, sowing me a rehearsal dinner dress, baking 20 pumpkin cheesecakes and gardening like a made women (thanks dad too). Its really occurred to me in these past few months just how much my parents really adore making my life so extraordinary. I know lots of parents put on big and fancy weddings for their kids but mine really seems to be putting in so much attention to making this MY wedding not just a beautiful wedding. This experience with them had made me really desire to grasp onto their teachings and provide such a space for my own children. (Weird to say). Ok, I am not stressed really but today is the day where Adam and I are thinking of all the things we have not yet thought of in order to have a wedding in 3 weeks.
