July '08 NEWLYWEDS chat!

Hey guys!

Dougsgirl! I will have to check out BBB per your suggestion. Honestly we don't need to register for much but I do want to get some linens. I am thinking we may register at two places (macy*s and target or maybe bbb & target?) My sis has our bridal shower planned for 21 June, 2 weeks before our big day.

Maura... that brazilian steakhouse sounds YUM! I LOVE a good brazilian steakhouse! There is one we go to called Texas de Brazil. It's beyond delish!

All of our weddings are seriously seriously getting close! I AM SO HAPPY!!!

abbie that rocks!

i tasted cake today for the civil ceremony and ordered it, paid up front so the day of i dont have to worry about it. we got yellow cake with lemon filling, and white buttercream frosting. it will look like this (except its just one tier 8-inch cake):

ooh yum, i love lemon in cake.

i just looked at my ticker and nearly died. we're all so close...

my shower is in one week and there are 51 people coming!!!! my parents are going nuts since it's in their yard. they rented all these tents and lights and stuff. i'm so excited!

i know.... im having major anxiety that the wedding is so close! i feel like i have so much left to do! i know that i dont, but im a worrywart.

here's whats left on my to do list for the july ceremony:

- flowers (already have a bouquet but need some for decorating our house for the little cake & champagne reception of 10 people)

- need to buy champagne (will do that probably this week or next)

- schedule a pedicure and underarm waxing for the day before the ceremony and pay for it in advance so i dont have to worry about it the day of

- already paid for my hair appointment, just have to show up the day of

- need lipstick!

- need to print out the keepsake invitations for our parents and mail one to our officiant

i think that's it....

Hi all, I have been offline for a few weeks trying to get things sorted for work, life, wedding etc.. I can't believe it's June, about 6 weeks to go until big day. You guys all sound like you have it under control.

What's left to do.. mmm let me think

- clean shoes - I am wearing shoes I already had for a ball as they are so comfy and they are perfect.

- have second dress fitting, first one it was a little big, which reminds me I should post some photos of the fitting

- stress about my hairstyle as I can't seem to find one I like

- finishing off labels for candy jars for candy station

- have typed up programs just need to print and cut (should really start now as it is going to take ages)

- fix earrings, I made my own but when I tried on with the dress they were a little long so need to adjust

- finish off making a couple of things for my hens (bachelorette) costume party

- sort out menu and alcohol (very important)

- buy baskets for the flower girls for their rose petals and get them presents, no idea what to buy them, ages 8, 9, 10 an 12

- and I am sure I have forgotten something but I feel really good about it all and it's not keeping me awake at night so that is good..

Getting excited....
