6 Days To Go!!!

OMG I can hardly believe that Sunday I will be a married women!! I am excited, stressed, nervous and so many emotions that I can't even begin to express.

Why am I stressed! I have so much to squeeze in during the next 6 days I have no idea even where to begin. I work all week and should of taken off Thursday also but I didnt. So I just have to make it till then. Sucks that I work till 9 at night and cant even get much done at that time. The only good thing is the kids have school all week so Friday I can get stuff done and not have to entertain them.

I swear my To Do list keeps getting longer and longer!! You would of thought I would be pretty much done but I guess not. We had to find another officiant so of course I have to fix all my programs again. Then to find out I dont have any black ink so now I have to be on the hunt for more.

So my list includes the following....

-Raul's Suit
-Nails, Wax Brows
-Micheals (get more programs)
-Office Max (find Dell Printer Ink)
-Get Ring and necklace cleaned
-Laundry
-Pack for hotel and mini honeymoon
-Roses and baby's breath
-Food for rehersal dinner

To Do:

-Paint I Do Letters
-Bouquets x4
-Bouts x6
-Corsage x1
-Flower Favors
-Food Platters
-Programs

WOW!! Seems like way to much to do..

Got the Marriage License!

We went today and got our marriage license! Whoohoo, one less thing to deal with. We have officially 11 days to go and now are in the waiting period. (we have to wait 3 days before we can actually use the license.) Now with 11 days to go we have to find another pastor as the one we planned on using is not getting back to us. UGH more stress and drama and I would rather not have to deal with right now but oh well got to do it.

More Pictures

Here are the rest of the pictures!!

13 Days To Go!!

Wow we are officially less then 2 weeks away. I took pictures today of everything for the reception and ceremony.

We also got our groomsmen gifts done and finished today, everything is coming together. Not much else needs to be done or even bought for the wedding. I do need to work on my personal wedding vows.

23 Days to Go!! WOW

So with 23 days to go we are totally getting down to what we need to do!! Whoohoo, I am almost done with my to do list. Got the music all picked out and working on my timeline with the wedding planner. We only had one little bump in the road, I got a wonderful decal off etsy for the Aisle runner. Well after 4 hours of attaching it to the runner I noticed my name is spelled wrong! UGH!! So I contacted the seller and hopes she will send a new one, I was smart and added it near the top of the runner so I can easily cut it off since I have a 100ft runner. Now I am on the hunt for tape that will hold the runner down on the carpet.

25 Days and Couting Down!

Whew with 25 days to go I have so much to still do and buy! We are still in the process of paying off the venue and food. With my mothers help since we just cant afford it and was so close to calling off the wedding.

I am finally at the point to give up and stop trying to find a freakin aisle runner and use the one I bought awhile ago. Even with it not being what I thought it was, so this afternoon I am going to spend time on the aisle runner and get our monogram on it.

I only have a few things left to pay for this week, those being the personal bridesmaids tins stuffed with fun stuff from avon. The favor bags which are personalized, and my flower girls cone shaped flower baskets also personalized. Waiting for the wooden roses to come in the mail and then will work on those.

Then we got a week where nothing is being bought and we then have to purchase our flowers from Costco! Wow now that will be the big thing and we will be 2 weeks away from the wedding at that time. I can hardly wait!

Shopping Today

Well we went today and got a few more items for the wedding. With 29 days to go its coming up fast and I am finally happy to say my To Do list is getting smaller and smaller!! Haha we still have some more to get tomorrow when we are out and about. I got a great DIY program stuff that I will have to work on in the next few weeks also.

I will post pictures of the dress after I get them from my mom, she came with me and almost cried!! ahhh!!

Wedding Day Hair

So yesterday since I had nothing to do. I decided to play around with my hair and figure out the perfect wedding do! I found one that I really like and goes perfectly with my flower.

Its a side bun low on the neckline, with a white flower pinned off to the side. I was going to let my hair down but I am not a big fan so I am going with what I like. The bottom picture shows me in the earrings and veil.

4 Weeks 1 Day Till The BIG Day!

Here I sit with 31 days till my wedding, the list keeps getting longer and longer. I feel like there is no way around it! haha!! I have tried everything in my power to keep this short and sweet yet it just doesn't. All these great idea's pop into my head and I end up changing things or even adding things. Yet the list is actually small not really that long! All the big stuff is done, now we are on to smaller things like favors, suits, socks ect. You know all the small things you forget about till the last minute!

At least we are that far ahead, I have been in wedding planning mode for 3 months. Got stuck once all the invites were out and couldn't figure out what we were going to need. Now that we are in the 4 week mode its getting exciting.

Check out my next blog for what I got to still do! As in buying! Below is what I have to make.

-Color I Do Letters
-Print off programs (45 of them)
-Make Favors
-Make wooden rose favors
-Make Bouquets, Bouts, Corsage's

I have everything just have to get off my butt and actually do it!
