His and Hers

As the three-month mark before our wedding fast approaches, I am starting to get that giddy bride-to-be feeling whenever we do something wedding related. Besides work, it's most of what I think about. Even most of my daily activities have become relative to the wedding. The gym? Yes, I probably should go if I want to look decent in a wedding dress. A trip to Ulta? I have to check out makeup that might be good for wedding day. Hanging out with friends or meeting new ones? Hmm...are they on our guest list?

The past couple weeks were full of prenuptial activities, specifically engagement photos and wedding ring shopping. Jason and I are a little Type A about some things (okay, sometimes a lot Type A), but I was proud to learn that we are pretty laid back with some of these planning details. For our engagement photos, courtesy of Doubleshot Photography, we just asked that they have an urban vibe and then we followed the guys' expert advice.

Wedding ring shopping was even easier. I think we spent all of a half hour at Jared's. I had my heart set on a simple platinum band that wouldn't detract from my engagement ring, and Jason wanted something simple, too. He's not used to the ring thing, but we found a perfect one that looks great. What struck me about our wedding bands is how cute they look side-by-side (my ring size is 3.5).

His and hers wedding rings. I heart them.

It's just a fun time in wedding planning. The fact that Jason will soon be my husband has become very real, in the very best way. As we get into crunch time, I have a few takeaways to remember:

• If you don't have a strong opinion about something, just go with the flow and take advice from the experts. That's why you hired them.
• Savor those moments. Picking out wedding rings and just realizing the magnitude of the situation brought such a smile to my face. 
• Keep moving! There are so many small details, I feel like we should check our list of "to-do's" every day because I don't want to stress at the last minute.
