Missions: Accomplished

We are eight weeks out from the wedding. Definitely crunch time. Lots to do.

Chris and I were in unbelievable form on Sunday. After our morning exercises (10 mile run for him, a tough yoga class for me) and some errands, we had lunch at Cafe Laurent in Culver City (actually breakfast, as they don't serve lunch on Sundays) and proceeded to be wedding maniacs.

First stop, Men's Warehouse where Chris got sized and picked tuxes for his groomsmen. I mentioned that Chris' suits are usually too big and our salesman assured us it would fit him perfectly. Chris thinks he pulled the measuring tape too tight but we'll see when the tux comes in. Wedding party tuxes? Check!

We had a couple of hours to kill before a cake tasting appointment and decided to stop by the Fox Hills mall to look at wedding bands. Contrary to my instincts, we ended up spending an hour at a jewelry kiosk inside the mall. The woman was using the hard sell but we found nice, stylish, simple rings at a decent price. Wedding rings? Double check!

Last but not least, cake tasting. Five flavors, two people = 2 1/2 cupcakes each. We couldn't pick one so we picked three. Black forest, white cake with fruit, red velvet...everyone will be happy.

I've been modeling my wedding band to everyone I see. I really like it.

Eight weeks. Still need photographer, transportation, a rehearsal dinner location, presents for wedding party, undergarments, shoes, invitations, etc.
