The countdown is on!

71 days to go!

AHHHHHH! Who's idea was this destination wedding?? :) Just kidding.

I can't wait! We have 62 guests confirmed that will be travelling from Canada, Australia and the USA to join us in Italy. Then there are approximately 100 guests in Italy. Nothing like a big Italian wedding in the motherland!

Planning everything in another language has been a challenge but what I am finding to be the most interesting is how things are done at such a different pace. I am so used to sending an email to a bride or a vendor and hearing back from them within a day or so....not the case when emailing to Southern Italy! It's been sometimes 4 weeks before I have heard back! I know everything will be absolutely amazing but it's the fear of not knowing until I get there that is the hardest.

One other thing I have to get off my chest - RSVP's. We sent out approximately 200 invitations. Not 200 guests, but 200 invitations. Our RSVP date is November 3rd and we have only received about 60 back so far. I really hope I don't have to spend all of next week phoning people.....
