Don't worry. Just keep a piece of paper in your handbag at all times and write stuff down as it comes to you. You'll be just fine!

Definitely carry your dress on. Do NOT risk it getting lost. It's just not worth it. I saw a show on the travel channel this last weekend - there's a store where they buy lost luggage from the airlines (stuff that's 180 days old or something) and resell it. They had several huge racks of wedding dresses.

Can you imagine if you saw yours on this show??

Where are you going to get travel insurance?

OMG, I cant believe this time next week I'll be in Punta Cana!!!

Rebecca, thanks again for that to-do list, it has been a godsend! I printed it out and actually posted it on my fridge. It has been very easy to assign my FI a task and he gets excited when he finally gets something done (such a toddler,lol!)

I just have a couple more things to do and I'm so estatic right now! I'm hoping all this excitement outweighs my nerves as the date soon approaches! This is what I've been doing since yesterday :

, lol and will be doing all the way to DR!

August 08 brides rock!!!

Woohoo

I just got a call from my WC - she was in the process of assigning rooms to my guests and she doesn't understand why my nephews are in the room with Chris and I.

MY TA SCREWED UP THE RESERVATIONS - AGAIN!!!

I am seriously about to go all bridezilla on her a$$!!!! As soon as I get the reservation list from the WC, my TA and I are going to have it out - and I'm going to enjoy it. A LOT.

Who the f needs this. I'm leaving in a week!!!!!

EricaG · 07-29-2008, 11:39 AM

That is soooo not cool. What is your TA thinking? I would totally flip on her after everything is sorted out with the WC. Go Bridzilla!!!!!

My fiance finally got his suit this weekend. And he ended up getting it for a smokin' deal. Linen pants, jacket & longsleeved shirt for just over $100. woo hoo! And I go in for my final fitting on Thursday. Holy cow! Now we're pretty much set....we just need to pack.

I can't believe it's right around the corner now.

That totally sucks about your travel agent!! I've had my own issues with mine. Very similar actually. I just don't understand....how stupid do you have to be to get that job? We leave in 10 days. I can't wait!! We pretty much have everything ready to go. All I'm worried about now is getting waxed. I decided I did not want to shave every day for the two weeks that we are in Mexico. I am getting both legs and a brazillian.....yikes! I've never even had my eyebrows waxed! I'm more nervous about this than going skydiving in Mexico. Hopefully it will be worth it. Any suggestions on how to control the pain?

There's a whole thread about waxing on here somewhere.

At the end of the day, you pretty much just have to suck it up. And don't do it when AF is in town.
