People are quick to tell you that marriage will change your life. They are eager to give you a friendly elbow nudge and tell you how different it will be when you have a ring on your finger. But they don't tell you that invitations (not even the entire wedding or honeymoon planning, just the invitations) can take over your life (At one point, the invitations pile looked at me and asked for food).
Allow me to share some of the trials we went through to get invitations done.
The above picture is our kitchen table (actually, the invitation's kitchen table). The left hand side was the food we were working on. As you'll notice we only had a small section to eat on, and it wasn't going to work.
In the end, we ate on upside down laundry bins.
We turned on netflix to help pass the repeat action. If you look on the left side of the picture, you'll notice the couch covered in envelopes and invitation equipment. The couch was doubling as my sister's bed (she came up for the weekend to help with the project). Thankfully, I got to go back to my own apartment to sleep peacefully while my fiancee and sister slept under a blanket of invitations.
Lastly, yes, our TV "stand" is also an upside down bin.
Despite all of the mess and effort, we were still pretty happy!
