We're actually doing much better than I thought. I'm proud that we are working so well together on planning our wedding. Yesterday we worked on addressing the envelopes. Today, I think we're going to work on the ceremony program. I thought we would have been able to work on both yesterday, however, I can't complete too many wedding items in one day, it stresses me out.
