Nerves

The wedding is sneaking up fast! We're down to 11 days! I have almost everything done and I couldn't be happier. I am starting to get a little nervous though...eeek!

We had our final meeting with Karen Jones, with Jones Pavilion, last week. I love her and her husband, Tommy. My mom, sister, Rigo and his parents all went out there. It was his parent's first time to see it, and they loved it. We got all the small details worked out. leaving there, I felt a LOT calmer :)

Last Saturday, my mom and I got our hair done for the wedding. If I can say so myself, we look HOT! :) We've been running our butts off though, and deserved a little down time. We've gone to the Galleria three times, regarding my shoes, which look awesome. We've run to Walmart and Hobby Lobby and had wedding sleep overs to get stuff done. My poor mom is going to need a major vacation after all of this! It's been fun though :)

Most of the little stuff is done, and we made our LAST wedding payment on Saturday (to our wonderful photographer). Sara is coming over next weekend to help me finish some of the little stuff...tying ribbons, hot gluing stuff...the usual.

We've started getting a few wedding gifts in and I am LOVIN' it! Today, when I got home, there was a Shiatsu Foot Massager...I'm using it now....it works REALLY well :)

From the looks of our response cards, we'll be having about 100 people show up to the wedding, and I've confirmed with all of my vendors.

My final fitting is on Thursday, April 2nd, after my mini bridal shower at work :) I hope that goes well.

I know that I'm being really random...I can't seem to organize my thoughts into comprehensible paragraphs....Oh Well!

Supposedly, planning a wedding is supposed to be the most stressful part of your life. If that's true, I don't have much to worry about in life. I'm not saying that I haven't been stressed, but it hasn't been that bad :)

Bridal Shower!

Well Folks! My Bridal Shower was this past weekend. My Mom did an AWESOME job! I got a lot of the things from Bed bath and Beyond that I really wanted :)

I wish we had taken a picture of the cake. Apparently, when it arrived, it was poorly decorated for a baby shower with pastels and rainbows! By the time I got there, they had scraped off the icing, and redecorated it with strawberries It looked fantastic!

My Mom and sister put a game together called Bridal Bingo. I wasn't allowed to play, because I knew all the answers, but it was hilarious watching everyone try to figure out if the hints given were about the bride or groom. At one point, I walked back in the room from answering the door, and my Aunt Jamie, turned around and said, "I WANNA SEE YOUR TATTOO!"

In other news, we have about 70 'yes' responses for the wedding! Today is technically the last day to send the response cards, so I guess I'll be calling people this weekend. I still have a few projects to finish up, but I'll get them done.

Mom and i took my dress to Sew-It-Seams for my bustle alterations, and while we were there, the woman put a holding clips in a few other places, and it made my dress look even better! She's doing all the alterations by April 2nd! I can't wait to see it when it's done!

Well, I'm on Spring Break, and I figure that since I have the house to myself, I might as well go jump on the Wii Fit....Buh Bye!

Home Stretch

Today, my friends, makes 40 days to our WEDDING! Am I excited? Oh yyyyeeaaa!

I've been working on finishing a few small projects, and wedding errands. Things are going great! As of today, we have 53 people attending the wedding!

I found the prettiest flower girl dresses at Jc Penney. They are Cinderella brand, so the girls will definitely love them. I even got a great deal on shoes that match at Payless, thanks to their BoGo sale.

Last Saturday, my Mom and I spent the day together. She bought a beautiful dress to wear, and I FINALLY found shoes :) I'll have to practice walking in them, but I think they're beautiful!

All that's left now is...well ALL of the little stuff :)

My bridal shower is this weekend. I can't wait! I know that my mom and her friend Denise will do a wonderful job! Pictures to follow!
