My wedding is in 3 days, I'm not sure why I'm so calm. Perhaps, as I told my co-workers today, "I got this". I feel fairly confident in what I've done so far and feel my tasks between today and Saturday are manageable... yeah, so there's still no ceremony,

Yeah, it's official, on August 2nd the heat index may rise to 95-99 at my outdoor wedding. Man, I was prepared for rain, but heat? And, we are still a few days out for the forecast to be 100% accurate, but I believe it is prudent at this point to prepare

The wedding is in 9 days. We are going to leave on our roadtrip honeymoon within a few days of that... time for a packing list? Time for packing? And, uh, there's still no ceremony... it'll happen, but when... all I can say is "before August 2". Our spa

Last night was my final fitting. The dress has now been altered... to alter the capped sleeves, they simply cut them off at the front where they connect wiht the dress and sewed them back on again shorter. To someone standing 3ft or more away from me,

My final fitting is tonight, but I don't get to pick up the dress until next Wednesday, perhaps next Wednesday it will strike me as being exciting as today it just seems like another thing on the to do list. I wish that I had not gone the traditional

This Saturday was the two week mark, and I'm moving into crunch mode. I guess all the major items are taken care of, it's just the little details that now need to be recalled and planned. The wedding week plan-of-action, if you will. I ran into an odd

So, yesterday... I guess it started a little while back. I told M I wanted a manicure/pedicure on the rehearsal dinner day (since I have the day off work) and he suggested I ask his sister what spa she recommended (she's the girly girl type.) His sister

It's getting to be crunch time and I'm succumbing to stress (among other things). My grandpa is in emergency heart surgery right now, that is enough to bring me down pretty far... But that can never be it... I contacted my insurance regarding my engagement

Our shower was yesterday and it was a sucess. My MOH cooked a kick ass meal that was greatly appreciated by all. Unfortunately, that's all she did... I'm not complaining, please don't read it that way, because I love her and she made a great meal, but

I haven't been sleeping well. It was ok when it was just a few nights, but I'm going on a month of poor sleep. That can't be good for me. My co-workers are telling me to nap (at work, none-the-less!) Maybe I'll buy an over the counter sleep aid... I don't

We found music for our wedding while sitting on the couch last night, how convienent! We were hanging out, watching TV, when our downstairs neighbors came to hang out. Talk turned to wedding stuff (since our apartment is covered in it) and then to music

My family visited my grandparents this weekend. I'd love to see them more often but schedules and long drives seem to get in the way. Any way, we were discussing the wedding (because, of course, what else is there to discuss?) and suddenly my grandpa

This weekend M and I went to a friend's outdoor wedding. Believe it or not, it was the first wedding of a my-age friend I've ever been to. I spent most of my time critiquing her ideas and if I wanted them or not. For example: aisle runner-no. They staked
