ToBeMitchell: Holy crap! MIL hasn't booked her trip and your leaving in 3 weeks? Now that is rude. I am sorry.

 

So I caught up on all the posts. I am happy to have someone that is in the same boat as I am!

Good news: No more travel for work until Jan 5th! Then, only 2 more weeks of travel before the wedding! Wow, time flies.

 

My veil came in, I am wearing it around the house! And my dress was altered and looks great! I don't even need spanx which will be nice for the heat.

JUST IN: All attendant and parents gifts are bought and will be wrapped in a few minutes. We are giving them their gifts at Christmas so I don't have to carry them!

FI has his belt and shoes. He just needs to run in and have his suit altered (it's already there) and pick up a shirt and he is ready to go.

I need to pick up my TTD and go with girls to pick up BM dresses from the tailor.

I need to write content for menus, programs, placecards and get them to the girls who are making them for me- I delegated!

Work on ceremony, this is a biggie

Organize my OOT bag items.

Shop for a swim suit and that is it! I think. Probably not but it sounds good.

 

Merry Christmas!

YAY!! I just ordering my hair flowers from Etsy! I will probably go with real flowers once there, but I wanted to have a back up just in case...and to try with my trial updo in a couple weeks! They were only just over $17 CDN...& that includes both & shipping!! Here they are...

 

 

I also ordered 3 pashminas from the UK off ebay...I hope I get them in time!!

 

So...these 2 things do not help me with my to do list at since neither of them were even on it!! hahahaha

 

Oh well...they are done anyway!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

WOW your list is getting smaller Kate!! its down to days now..

I am in the same boat, need to complete placecards, work on ceremony (FI has finished his vows!!!!woohoo) and organize items for OOT bags, I think I may have gone overboard on this one, not that I will ever admit this FI lol

And I went for my final dress fitting last week, she fixed all the mistakes she had done (including getting the blood out from a pinprick she had!!).

I also went and picked up some hollywood fashion tape for the whatifs, so I am feeling so much better..

 

Merry Christmas!!

Kate, this had me cracking up! I want mine to come in!
So, my logo stickers came from zazzle today, but they screwed up and shorted me three sheets of stickers. So now I have to wait for replacements. They look cute tho!

Sounds like everyone is getting all the things on their lists done. I gotta work out. I was doing so well for so long, but haven't done anything in a couple of weeks. If thinking about exercising made you skinny I'd be a size 0! hahaha Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

LOL Kelly, I think that too!!!
I haven't worked out in almost two weeks... I lost my drive and can't seem to get it back.. and whats worse- I have no excuse, the gym is 2 floors down in our building, I can't even blame the weather to say I couldn't get there bc of all the snow..
I just want to drink lots of yummy xmas bevi's and eat cookies... how bad is that!!

[nicoleandscott]

great job ladies! i haven't posted in forever, and i feel VERY behind....

(reality check: scott and i will be married in ONE WEEK!!!!) <------

 

SO much has happened in a short amount of time:

 

-we have a place to LIVE!!!!!!!!!!! ((that's a HUGE relief because now we have somewhere to rest when we come home! the AHR is two days after we get back, so the no home situation was a huge stress.)

 

-finished the BM gifts (minus the thank you notes)

 

-finished music selections for reception and gave the list to our "music man" (a groomsman) who is in charge of making the playlist and bringing the iPod

 

-three people have backed out last minute lowering our count from 29 to 26.... <---this really bummed me out.

 

i still have a TON of little things to do. goals for today: FINISH welcome packet and FINISH menus

 

P.S. I found Daily Spanish Phrases for Dummies in Target's $1-Spot yesterday!!!!!! They also had Daily Spanish, but I think the phrases were more appropriate for our group!

[teacherbride]

Way to go Nicole! I am SO excited for you! Sounds like you're pretty calm too, I'm sure having a place to live when you get back really helps.

Hello Ladies!

 

It's been a while since I've posted (as well); as much as I love Christmas, kinda glad it's over so we can focus on our daughters 2nd birthday (jan 12) and then our cruise wedding!

 

Small updates:

 

Cut about 7 inches of hair off and I still don't know how I want it to look for the wedding

Bought a silk orchid for my hair (small), and while I like it - not sure if it's what I want.

 

I am stuck on a hair style.

 

....

 

3 weeks until we fly out to Florida and 3 weeks 1 day until the cruise begins. Starting to get excited but not as much as I thought I would be at this point.

 

....

 

I have a 'fun veil' that I bought off Etsy and I wore it around to... break it in... for the first week I got it

[teacherbride]

Hey ladies,

 

I have to post b/c I had a very productive day!!!

 

I...

 

Picked up my dress which is now perfect after it's final alterations!

Found and bought the 7 travel candles I needed at Michaels for .68c

Bought the sand for our sand ceremony

Bought the palm-tree punch I wanted for our welcome letters

Completed all the thank you cards from my 4 wedding showers

Finally received GM attire, just need some footwear now

 

Tomorrow FI and I plan on crossing off at least 3 more things on our list!
