Feeling Better...
Okay, I am feeling a little more calm concerning the wedding now. We have sent almost ALL invitations now, and the ones that are left are either just simple announcements to people not technically invited, or polite invitations to people overseas that need to be notified, but will not have the means (or don't have close enough ties to The Fiancé) to actually come.
We have signed up for dance classes starting on July 5, we have organized those Cuban musicians that I wanted so badly for the reception, and we are halfway through figuring out which music we want played during the ceremony: Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for my grand entry, and "All I ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera instrumentally during the exchange of the rings. I am voting on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" for the recessional, or maybe "Trumpet Voluntary" by Jeremy Clarke. It's still open to discussion, but I don't worry too much about it now; it feels better having taken at least one step in the right direction in this department. Today those missing papers are supposed to be mailed back to us, and yesterday my sister in her function as my witness and I had a very productive meeting concerning the time frame of this whole day. We have delegated people to organize different things for us, and she has taken a lot of the organizational weight off my shoulders as well.
Over the weekend we will hopefully figure out the menu, and come up with the final theme for the flower decorations. I will contact my cousin and ask him to be the bridal chauffeur, and I will meet my friend the baker to discuss the wedding cake with her. It is slow progress, but progress it is.

Awww, instrumental "All I Ask of You" sounds so sweet! I'm sure it'll be a beautiful ceremony. As one over-stresser to another, try not to melt your brain, ok? ;)
