2.5 Weeks to go...

And I am sort of feeling the pressure of the looming deadlines, but I have a strange sense of calm!

It doesn't actually feel real.  I took Mon-Tues off work this week, and it was such a welcome break from everything & everyone!

I know we have a few ladies that are about to take the plunge - how are you feeling?!?

I have approx 50 more bows to tie on my programs, then have to put my escort cards in the corks that are holding them, then need to put the labels on my popcorn bags, and then need to stuff my OOT bags & get supplies for my bathroom baskets.

Phew!

    It sounds like you're in good shape :) My advice would be to just try and stay calm and do normal things--like go to happy hour or dinner with friends/FI, or go to a baseball game so you take your mind off stuff.  Oh AND drink lots of water and keep moisturzing. I swear my make up person said my skin looked awesome on the day of the wedding and I totally credit all the water I drank and religious application of sunscreen and moisturizer every morning and night!

    Breathe and vent here if you need to before the wedding. 

    I found that coming here to vent and ask questions before was the best way to prepare for the big day. 

    Many Blessings to you and your new husband!! Enjoy every moment and be sure to look around the room during the reception, that way you get to take in everything that is going on Laughing

    That is so exciting! At least it doesn't seem like you have too many things to take care of- I'm three months out and it seems like there are a LOT of things I have to do between now and September.

    You are all so sweet!  I am just praying my dress is done on Saturday.  The skirt has so much detailing, and they didn't seem super close last time I was there.

    I'm NERVOUS!

    LIB, how are you doing??

    Also - My eyebrows are drivign me NUTS, but I can't get them waxed until week of...it's killing me!

    I shaved for the last time yesterday so I can get my legs waxed before we leave for Mexico--I don't know how long I'll be able to stand it!
