99 days.
99 days separates Mr. Coyote and me from our wedding day. Seeing as we are making our way through a 672 day engagement (yes, I am a freak and actually did the math), the fact that we are now in the double digits is kind of a big deal.
At this point in the wedding game I have been experiencing a variety of emotions and I'd like to use some our friendly neighbor celebrities to illustrate them. First of all, I just need to say that I now truly understand what Ron Burgundy meant when he said that he was in a "glass cage of emotion".

The past few mornings have gone a little something like this:
I wake up in the morning and look at the calendar. I realize that we are now one day closer to the wedding. My initial instinct is to completely freak out when I digest the fact that I am actually getting married in three months.

Then, as I am drinking my morning coffee, the caffeine starts to surge through my veins and I get all crazy and giddy and happy. I start to daydream about specific "wedding" moments like putting on my wedding dress, saying our vows, having our first dance as husband and wife... And then I get this really goofy smile on my face.

Eventually my mind starts to wander (never good) and I think about all of the tasks I haven't completed yet. Invitations? Don't have any. Attire for the dudes? Haven't even thought about it. Booking a hair stylist and makeup artist? Crap. Then I get really overwhelmed and start wondering if I'm ever going to get my act together and get shit done. Probably not. And that makes me want to cry.

After the sobfest I remind myself that no matter what happens on the wedding day, the most important thing is that Mr. Coyote and I will be jetting off to a fabulous honeymoon a few days later! Just kidding! In all honesty, the most important thing to remember is that (in 99 days!) I will marry my best friend and have a lifetime of happiness to look forward to -- sorry guys, my corny side is starting to show through, I'm blaming it on all the wedding emotions! But I have to admit that laying on a beach sipping margaritas with my new hubby definitely sweetens the deal. ;-)

Has anyone else experienced the wave of emotions brought on by wedding planning? Any other brides out there getting married soon and starting to feel the crunch?
