I want to be an AW, too!

Steph0871

My family is all in town today, and we're heading out for the hockey game (GO GOPHERS!).  I doubt I'll hop on tomorrow at all... so adios, ladies!  When I return on Monday I will have a new last name.

Thanks for all the chit-chat and stress distraction the last few months.

Best wishes Steph! Come back with pics please. Enjoy your day.

woo-hoo! I am so psyched for your, Blue's, and AATB's weddings! I can't believe it's here already. Remember to smile and to take it all in on your way down the aisle. Good luck and have fun!

Yay Steph!!  Hugs!  I'm off to the airport too, yay!

Don't forget to:

*eat - Nutragrain bars were my best friend.
*hydrate - little sips all day
*pee - don't wait until it's too late to not be a crisis situation
*breathe as you walk down the aisle
*take a moment to look around.  our wedding was a blur
*Have someone make sure the darn staff doesn't steal your plate during the reception.

Congrats!

Excellent additions!  I kept having to remind myself not to lock my knees.  the second I would, I'd start swaying.

As for cake, it's supposed to be the tastiest cake of your life.. enjoy it! (We cut our cake before dinner so I had plenty of room)

<div>And aren't you from FL? Hehe, I'm just a wimpy redhead so a week of Mexico before the wedding would be trouble for me :)</div>

NatesGirl16

Aww, Steph, I'm so excited for you!  Have a great wedding weekend and you better come back and tell us how it was right away!  We are impatient.

Congrats Steph! Have a fantastic day! It will fly by, but it will be amazing!

Yay Steph!! I hope it's awesome, congrats!


Also, what's with the "don't lock your knees" thing? I've never heard of that.

<div>C'mon! Weren't you ever in choir? No, but really, if you lock your knees longer than about 7 minutes it will cut off circulation and you will faint. It happens a lot at both weddings and choir recitals. Only I notice it's usually a GM or the groom, lol.</div>

Haha, I was in chorus throughout elementary and middle school but I never remember hearing that. Very interesting. I have been known to faint without locking my knees at all so I will definitely have to make sure I don't do that when the time comes.   : )
