The Countdown Begins

Six months from today I will be walking down the aisle and saying “I do!”  You know what that means…skinny time!  It’s time to start working out more consistantly and to start thinking about eating a little healthier.  No worries, I won’t go overboard, since I admit to having a huge sweet tooth and can’t pass up an Oreo to save my life.  Ben and I signed up for one of Chicago’s many half marathons to get us motivated.

I am proud to report that most of our planning is done minus the small details.  The majority of the planning has been fairly painless but not without it’s ridiculous tiffs.  Our biggest argument has been over dessert.  Our mom’s wanted to spends thousands of dollars on dessert and Ben and I were the ones that had to put our foot down.  After weeks are arguing we finally came to an agreement and we won!

The next battle is the after wedding brunch.  Any ideas how to plan a brunch for a couple who has 5 separate sets parents and a huge out-of-town family?  We want to scratch the whole thing but a couple of the parents keep insisting on doing something.  I almost guarentee the day after our wedding Ben and I will be doing a tour of the suburbs visiting our various sets of parents, which is by far the last thing we want to do.
