Today was a productive day, though we're not able to check anything completely off our wedding to-do list. A and I began our Sunday morning with a scrumptious brunch at Granite City on Madison's west side. Once the mall opened, we walked into Willams-Sonoma and created a registry, including a few special kitchen gadgets we wouldn't ordinarily purchase for ourselves. I think A is most excited about the popsicle maker. Selfishly, I'm hoping for Bordeaux glasses.
We continued on to Men's Warehouse, where A tried his suit on for the tailor. Two simple words: Bad ass. He won't let me see the final look–it's only fair–but I have no worries. He's going to look so handsome. He's feeling somewhat confident about having this nearly checked off, but will happy once the suit is in his hands a couple of weeks from now.
Next, we checked out wedding bands at Kessler's Diamonds, the local jeweler where A purchased my engagement ring. It's funny how sometimes you think you know exactly what you want. Then you put it on your finger and it's totally wrong. I was right about what I wanted in an engagement ring. I catch myself glancing at my left hand frequently. However, I was wrong in regards to what I wanted in a band. Good thing I tried a few on. A felt pretty solid on what he wants–something simple. We each found great bands that we look forward to slipping on one another's finger in a few months.
It felt really good today to focus on things A needs for the wedding rather than stressing about programs and playlists and slideshows. I look forward to working on those things, too, but I enjoyed A feeling like a groom. I realized I want him to have more moments like that, where he just gets to enjoy his role, rather than just answer my incessant questions about swirls on the programs.
