So, what is going right? :)

There are so many 'Ack!' moments, I thought it might be a good time for us to reflect and celebrate good things!

My WP is small. Only one of my sisters will be standing with me as MOH. She is the best! We have become so close in the last five years (since I left my first H). I have had a blast planning with her, shopping with her, laughing hysterically at my jock sister trying to wear heels (because she wants to! This was not an expectation from me!). Her two children will be our FG and RB, they are adorable and they love Aunt Mendi. I have become so close to them over the last 18 mos. I worked four jobs for the longest time, and this last year scaled back to one and moved closer to them. Watching them grow up, being a part of their life, getting to share my life with them - life is sweet!

As much stress as FI not working brings, I love that our wedding has been a small affair with a series of steps - and we paid throughout planning this summer. So here I am, 11 days away from becoming Mrs and (HOLY COW!!!! 11 Days!!!!!!) and there is no stress, no worry, no 'how will we...?' because it is all laid out and done.

I am blessed that so much of this venture has been so very, very different from the 'first time'. My family really loves my FI. They love how he loves and protects and respects me (and my youngest son). Mother said she doesn't even want to wear black to this wedding and I am so excited to have everyone in my immediate family of origin sharing this with me/us!

My list is short and I'm going to get most of it done this weekend! The only things then that will be left are programs (which my Dad is doing) and things I have to wait until the day before to buy! Woohoo

Lots of things have gone right for us!!!  I WILL share and thank you for asking!  We have a very tight budget and was wondering how we would pull this off and the love and generousity of so many people have made our dream day come true...so here goes!
1. Our photographer gifted us a 2500.00 wedding package that we could have never afforded
2. Our cake (and grooms cake) was gifted by a friend who does deserts for local restaurants
     here in town-she is awesome!
3. My hair and BM and makeup has been gifted for the big day.
4. FI and his GM all have been gifted their haircuts for the big day.
5. My nails and MOH and BM nails have been gifted for the big day.
6. My dress was ridicoulusly on sale and I was able to afford it when I didn't think I could.
7. We won a 500.00 off contest at our Travel Agency to be combined with our booking
    early discount to actually be able to afford the honeymoon we wanted.
8. My mom is an artist and made the thumbprint guestbook, invitations, table numbers and
    cake topper all as her gift to us!

I am so thankfull for all these things...and its nice to have a thread where I can say...this is what is going right!  Thanks mmmendi

There are also many things going right with my wedding, just about all of it in fact! I think the thing I really want to mention is that FI has been with me every step of the way and has been very supportive when things have become more challenging. Most everything is done for me now, and it's a great feeling!

We firmed up a bunch of important metting dates, all the BP can make it to the rehearsal (everyone one, but one BM is OOT) AND I found the perfect ribbon for our cake and cake stand.  Eeee!

NWR: My FI did a ton of housework yesterday (his only day off) and ordered my favorite dinner since he knew I'd be home late.  This is why he is so lovely.
