Holy buckets! We're officially two months away from the big day. Invitations have arrived in mailboxes across the country, items are getting checked off the to-do list left and right, and I have officially entered my last days of being a Fursetzer. lembeck, here I come!
I don't have much else to say - just wanted to share my excitement with you, our 7 loyal readers. :)
Lots of love,

We're in the double digits!
It feels like it was just yesterday that we were announcing our engagement...but here we are now, with only 66 days until we become Mr. and Mrs. Lembeck!
The closer we get to the big day, the more and more fun and exciting wedding stuff we get to do. We're having so much fun preparing for and dreaming about the big day (well, I don't know if Sam's dreaming about it - but I sure am!) so we thought we'd start this blog to share some of the fun with you.
The most exciting thing we've done recently is prepare and mail our wedding invitations. I went to NYC a few weekends ago and spent a great weekend with one of my dearest friends, Leif Green, who gave us the most amazing gift: he did the calligraphy for all of our invites! We had tons of fun singing along to musicals while he finished up the hard task of spelling Fursetzer, Lembeck and Meshbesher over and over again. Leif did SUCH an amazing job - they are even more gorgeous than I hoped they would be. I can't wait for you all to see his masterpieces. Thanks so much, Leif - we love you!
Next, Sam and I spent last weekend in Malibu where we set up our invitation station: proofreading, erasing pencil marks, stuffing, sealing and stamping approximately 215 invitations, which is quite a feat! We had heard a lot of horror stories about getting invites hand cancelled at the post office (so they don't arrive at your houses with squiggly red lines on them) but, thankfully, Sam had a really easy time with this task...the end result: our invitations went into the mail yesterday and they are on their way to you right now! Let us know when they arrive - we are dying to see who our first response is going to be from!
Getting the invitations in the mail has made all of this feel so REAL - in such a good way! I am so excited for everything that's coming up in the next two months and look forward to sharing some of our pre-wedding adventures with all of you here. Next week we're headed to MN for 6 days and there's so much in store: meetings with the wedding coordinator and Cantor, tasting at the reception venue, my hair trial and dress and veil fittings and, most importantly, my Bridal Shower! We can't wait!
Stay tuned for updates - I'm sure we'll have lots of fun stories to share.
Lots of Love,
Natalie
