My office is bride central. 4 of us are getting married this year, in July, August and September. We keep each other updated and have been able to share ideas. Two of our co-workers lovelovelove weddings, so are always asking about our planning, which keeps us on top of things.
This morning, the office hosted a breakfast celebration for us, which was very sweet. I'll be honest that I was glad it's summer so there weren't many people in attendance--less pressure to be "on". It was however, nice to chat about the wedding without eyes glazing over in disinterest, as happens more often than you may think when being asked "So, how's wedding planning coming along?"People seemed genuinely interested and were helpful with advice.
One of the Department heads gave us each a cute glass jar with an iris and a hand-made congratulation card. As you can see in the picture, this wasn't something just thrown together, each was hand drawn and painted by a co-worker who is an aspiring artist. Isn't that the cutest little picture of the two of us? Andrea didn't even know that Ellie always has her hair in a ponytail, but I love that she caught that detail! Not that long ago, when she asked what we were wearing, I thought it was to help her get a better idea of us as a couple for the invitations.
Yes, you read that right. In fact, Andrea has been hired by three of us in the office to create invitations (the 4th wanted to hire Andrea, but had promised her future mother-in-law she could do them; it was too late to rescind the offer)! If you go through her website, you can see one set of invites; I'm not sure if the other will go up. Once our invites are done and mailed at the end of July, I'll have her post ours--I can't wait to see what she comes up with for us.
It's nice to feel so supported by my office and colleagues. This may not be the last or best job I ever have, but it won't be the worst; the people I work with make it a good place to be.
