Where are my manners? I can’t believe it’s been more than a week since I last posted. I will blame it on all the wedding-related stuff I’m trying to knock out every night when I get home. I don’t have that much to do, but ideally, I’d like to have almost nothing left to still be stressing over by the time it actually gets here. Like performing in one of my shows, I want to have learned all my lines and where I need to stand, so that all I have to do opening night is throw on my outfit, put on my makeup, and do it. So far, I have not succumbed to craziness (specifically related to weddings), which I think is a very good sign—particularly with fewer than three weeks to go [minor ACK].
Related to this, I baked approximately one million cookies this weekend, vacuum-sealed them, and put them in the freezer for possible favors. I say possible, because if I sample one the day before, and it tastes like I vacuum-sealed then froze it, they will not be given as favors. I would say that at that point they would all go in the trash, but JP will probably eat them either way.
I also had a MAC artist do my makeup on Friday so I could see if I needed any additional products (I’m doing it myself the big day because let’s just say LaGrange is not overrun with makeup artists). I thought it looked pretty good when I left, albeit a little dramatic. JP confirmed this when he said, “Oh my gosh. You look nuts. Umm…Lady Gaga called and she wants her eyelashes back.” Obviously, the fake lashes the girl at the store put on me were too much, and they have since been removed to my theater makeup kit (where I feel they will be more appropriate). He also compared me to a drag queen. No good.
What I wanted to look like.
What John Paul said I looked like.
ALSO, here is the blog post our photographers did on our engagement shoot. Some of them are weird, but mostly they are cute.
Sorry for all the wedding stuff, though! It’s all just hanging out in my head and making it hard for me to think about other things. Not too long now!
Thoughts? Words of wisdom?
EP, you look gorgeous! I love, love LOVE the hair extensions. I think my favorite picture is the one where you look all sexy and model-y and JP is grinning in the background :) Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteWOW These are awesome! Makes me wish we'd had engagment shots taken. I like the one of you guys in the tall grass next to the house pic. It looks the most like you, like you're sharing an inside joke. I also like the kiss in the garden because it's all Alice in Wonderland. Which one did you pick for the paper?
