pizza/planning night

Next week is the week before the wedding. Tonight, Ben picked me up from work and we headed to Micheal's to pick up some pink ribbon and check out their selection of floating candles, sand for our sand ceremony, and scrapbook paper to use as a guestbook. I'm excited about the photobooth! I like the idea of everyone being silly and putting those pictures into a scrapbook/guestbook for us along with little messages..... I absolutely love pictures. 

I have the next three days off of work..... but not days off. I know that I can NOT wait to have an actual day off again... and I'm 113% sure that Ben feels the same way, mostly because he flat out told me. We were talking about having a day off during the summer and just hanging out OUTSIDE in the SUNSHINE. I currently look like a workaholic, sleep-deprived, lunatic albino with green eyes. Freak of nature, because no one else is this pasty white and middle of winter looking in the middle of summer. I'm going to look into tanning beds.

I think that this is very pretty: Love Story Meets Viva La Vida. I wish we could play it for our processional during the ceremony. And that's all the further this topic is going. Hello cliche Cannon in D.
