    Let's see I am sending my deposit in for my flowers so that is done.

    Things to finish besides paying everything off....
    - getting FI uncle to confirm he's doing the wedding... its causing a huge headache on my part
    - getting ready to help light a fire under FI's parents a$$. He told them that he needed the last of the names and addresses of the cousins that he wants to invite. Well they have the list written but now won't give it to us until its typed up and printed. sooo controling. FI told them that since they missed their deadline that they lose anyone that they would like to invite.
    -photographer worked out a schedule to take as many pics before the ceremony so that FI and I can attend part of cocktail hour. The hard part is that he refuses to do an unveiling... gonna have to use my womanly charm on him....:)

    The only thing I did wedding related was start my hotel room blocks, decided on my centerpieces and flowers for the ceremony. Oh and I added a third color to my scheme. Instead of just chartreuse green and chocolate brown I am throwing in fuschia as well.

    NWR: got completely upset with my in-laws. FI and I along with in-laws were supposed to go to FI's friend's wedding in New Orleans. I spent this week scrambling to get my hair done, a dress, shoes, etc for this wedding and what happens. The day of the wedding we were supposed to leave Saturday, the wedding started at 6, by 3pm they were still lounging around in pajamas so we didn't even go. I was extremely hot because number one I could have worked my part-time job Thursday to pay for things for my own wedding and number two I didn't have to waste my money trying to get ready for a wedding that we didn't even go too!

    Well I would have to say not really since I am sitting here on theknot.com when I shoulld be at work.  I took off today to finish my paper for school that is due tonight.  In addition I have only had 3 hours of sleep.  As far as wedding stuff, I have an appointment with the photographer on Tuesday and at the tuxedo store on Wednesday.  Semi-productive.

    Hello all, I'm new to boards although I've been on theknot for a while now.

    I gathered more addresses for the invitations, worked a little bit in my premarital counseling workbook and that's about it.

    Welcome IvanandKim!

    WR- Mailed the end of the invitations...well, assembled and addressed and gave them to FI to mail!
    Received a monetary gift for wedding payments!  YAY for Uncles!!
    Listened to my sister get mad because her newest boyfriend was not included on the invite (just her, she is a BM, and her thre children).  She then called me back to apologize for being upset and proceeded to tell me she does not have the money for her or my nieces and nephew to be in the wedding!  uggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  I'll prob post separately about htis one.

    Lastly, I cried while cooking dinner for FI and me and then he prayed for me and us.  So, the weekend closed better than it started.

    Oh yeah, we bbq'ed sat and i ate too much!!!
