July / August Brides!

kellya01

It's finally down to the wire for us, ladies!

I still have a few things on my to-do list, but they are all items that have to wait until the last minute anyway ...

- We're doing edible favors so we couldn't make the favors yet
- Ceremony programs - had to wait on pastor's okay
- Menu cards for reception - waiting on last mtg. with DJ and confirm with reception venue
- thank yous' - well, can't send a thank you without the gift in hand, I suppose... :-)
- Combine Insurance Policies ... I've just been putting it off.
- Get marriage license - we're picking it up on Tuesday!
- Bridal portrait - gotta order from the photo shoot we just had on Thursday, so that had to wait.
- Final headcount .... well, we had over 62 people not send in their RSVP cards, so it's been a harrowing 2 weeks trying to get in touch with everyone.  UGH!
- Seating Chart ... alas, I JUST finished doing that this morning!!! :-)
- Must-take photo list ... doing that when I get home tonight, and going to give our photographer the list on Wednesday at church!  Yay!!!


BUT ... other than that stuff, we really are set to go!  The Groom's aunt (essentially the MOG) and I worked on the rehearsal dinner stuff this weekend while we were down in SC for the 4th (leaving SC later today).  SO glad it's coming together.

Yay, I'm glad it's all coming together, Kelly! 

My wedding is THIS FRIDAY!! Only 4 days away!!! Ahhh I am so excited! And starting to get nervous, too! I have everything done, except a few last minute payments/checks to write. I need to start packing for the honeymoon, but all my DIY stuff is done and I even wrote FI's card(s) today, so we're good to go! It is really surreal that this time next week I will be a WIFE! CRAZY! 

Enjoy the last few weeks, July/August brides! Take in every moment.

That is awesome, Kelly!

We still need our marriage license and need to combine policies also.

I'm soo worried that we're going to have a huge number of people not RSVP. Check out my signature...that number is far too large for my comfort.

We need still need to get our marriage license (I think we will do that this week) and pick the ceremony music. Other than that I think we are about all set.

I said to FI today "holy crap we are getting married next month, when did this happen"

Kelly!!!! 12 days!! I am freaking out too and my list is a little bit longer than yours I know everything will get done. I am at the point now that I am saying "only one more" time to many things. Like this is the last week that I will be able to babysit my niece and nephew sad but I am practicing their walk down the aisle with them. I can not believe we are only 12 days. I remember when the countdown was at 300 and now I am 12 days from being a wife. I honestly can say that I have still not grasped the fact. I feel like I am playing as a little girl again. Good luck Kelly with everything and keep us updated!! I will be praying for you in these final days. I just keep thinking to myself I will never have this time back in my life I need to breath and enjoy it!!
