survey says...

Thanks for the input! No paper flowers...I'm relieved cuz I didn't really feel like making all those.

Now we just have to figure out how to use ribbons or tulle to decorate the aisles. A couple options:
The Martha Stewart ribbon garland...which would obviously not be in Christmas colors
Simple tulle with a center flower...this might be a little tricky because our pews are shaped weird.
I like this one the best, but our wedding is at 1pm, so I don't know if it'd have the same ambiance.

Gross alert:
I think being engaged has heightened my appreciation for flowers...all of the sudden I want to plant things, look at flowers, receive flowers. Normally I could care less (cuz they all die under my care) but lately even the sight of flowers can make my heart flutter a little. I have no idea why.

I was thinking about being upfront with W and asking him to surprise me with flowers sometime...but I wanted to sit on it more and see how I really felt about it. I went to work after thinking about it for a little bit.

Work was pretty standard and around 230pm I got a chance to eat lunch...and while I was stuffing my face the door of the breakroom opened and W was there! I was so shocked cuz I wasn't expecting him at all...and what's more, he brought me a surprise:


Cookies! One was a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie (shaped like a heart, aww) and the other was a chocolate sandwich cookie with mint cream in the middle. It totally made my day cuz I was craving a surprise and I was really sad that I couldn't spend that Saturday with him. It was a great reminder of his thoughtfulness...one of the many reasons why I'm marrying him.

As for the flowers...well, I think I'll be just fine. I think W knows me better than I know myself.
