The Guest list
I am pretty sure this is a common issue for Brides...the guest list. We had initially hoped to keep the list to under 100...Ryan even said 65 once, which I knew was nutty..as of right now we have 258! Now there really is no one specifically to blame on this one...it just seemed to keep growing and growing. We changed the location of the reception to allow for more people and will probably down grade the food a bit, sorry to those of you attending no filet mignon. But really I have felt good about the whole thing, mostly because I love that we have so many people we want to include. Almost everyday I think of another person...or I am reminded of another person by Ryan, or his mom, or my sister, or my dad...or my very bad memory finally waking up and remembering someone obvious.
It is a wonderful thing to think about all of these people being there for our big day...and if it means some of you have to stand at the church and sit on each others laps at the reception I promise there will be enough room on the dance floor!

I won't eat anything, I promise!!!
I just want to see you walk down that aisle into the arms of the man you have been dreaming of your whole life. And I want to cry. And then I want to see him pledge his life to you. And I want to cry some more. And then I want to see him kiss you. And then I want to dance with you and see who catches your bouquet (please do not throw it like I did). And then I want to watch you get into your car and leave as husband and wife. K, I'm already crying...
