AW Thursday

OK I'm starting this early but that seems to be the theme with each day.

I got my wedding band yesterday!  I love it!


I am going to put the band on the bottom and will eventually have them sodered.
PS: Is it bad that I don't want to take it off? Cool

Oh and for an added bonus, here is my adorable niece in her "princess" dress (aka flowergirl dress):

    Aw...

    Mine aren't too exciting, just counting down and some checks:
    -made a contact/vendor spreadsheet
    -started looking for BM accessories
    -ordered socks for the GM & FI ("Groom", "Best man" and "Groomsman" via Oriental Trading - $4 each)
    -may have found better undergarments on Victoria's Secret than the one piece I originally bought (waiting for delivery to see - as my appt with Becky is in a couple weeks)
    -bought FIs wedding band last Friday
    -oh, and I'm at 68 days!!!

    Your niece is so cute!

    Nothing big here...my girls have taken their dresses in to be altered so that's exciting.  We have a meeting with the hotel on Saturday to finalize the send off brunch, out of town box drop off and shuttle service.  We're also making the chocolate favors this weekend.

    I am in the single digits!  Woohoo!  Just 9 more days! :-)

    Also, I am taking care of a bunch of little stuff this weekend....buying all the last things I need and making place cards.  I am trying to get FI to practice our first dance.  He doesn't want to but I keep telling him that we need to.  It would be so awkward if we don't!  Especially since we have never danced together before.  :-)

    And my last BM picked up her dress.  I was so nervous it wouldn't come in on time.  And the good news is that she doesn't need any alterations!  What a relief!

    And finally, I got my thank you notes for my shower gifts done.  Yay!

    Finally found a FG Dress!
    www.mygirldress.com/holidaydress-cy870rd.html" target="_blank">http://www.mygirldress.com/holidaydress-cy870rd.html (in fuschia)

    The bubbles I ordered came in and a whipped up a little basket, hot glued a ribbon on it and I'm calling that DIY... DONE!

    I'm a little jealous you girls get to see your wedding bands. Mine is custom to match the set we designed. But FI is not letting me even try it on until the ceremony!

    Congrats on all the accomplishments. ladies!

    I feel like such a slacker.  However, I did get the final mock-up of my STD magnets.  I think they are so cute.  Not sure how to attach them, but if I can find some time to figure it out, I will.

    Also, we are having our e-pics done this weekend.  Super excited and super nervous, and super SICK.  Sinus infection, bronchitis, and some other itis that I don't recall.  Taking drugs in the hopes that I will not look like the walking dead on Sunday or cough so hard that I pee just a little.Laughing

    Have a great weekend!!

    Thanks for the compliments ladies! I had to put my ring in our lock box with FI's band and only FI has the key.  He has more willpower than I do :) 

    Congrats on all your AW's ladies!

    Jordan-
    Love the wedding band!

    Janice- Beautiful bouquets!

    Congrats everyone on your AWs :)

    Mine is minor, but I feel accomplished. I sent FI 3 songs that I was condiering for our first dance so that he could listen and give his opinion from overseas. He chose the same one I was gunning for - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdW7S834fts (yay for 80s covers Wink)

    ETA: Jordan, it's okay I don't blame you for not wanting to take it off. I sneak mine on every once in a while jsut to feel it on LOL

    Congrats Courtney! Me & my cousin worked for 2 days straight on ours, we were so glad when we were done! I was contemplating getting different ones when I wasn't sure I liked them. She said no way because these had her blood, sweat & tears. LOL
