We're at the six week countdown to the wedding and time is beginning to slip away.

Our weekends between now and the big day are jam-packed with activities. While many of those plans are related to our wedding, several of our friends are celebrating milestones as well, including marriages and babies.

This past weekend, we had a doubleheader - wedding on Saturday, baby shower on Sunday. It was great to see old friends and catch up, but the events were also a stunning reminder of how much gets heaped on women folk during these milestone events.
