Knotties of the Week: netgrl22, jessNlane52804, kmrazek!

Love is Bald

It's your wedding week!   How exciting!  How are things going?  Whats the last minute preps you are taking?  Has everything pulled together the way you wanted?

Thank you!!! 

Things are going pretty well - I got the seating arrangement done last night I think!  Need to look over it one more time and check, but it looked good last night at about 1am

Last minute preps - getting stuff together for the honeymoon (that kind of went on the back burner in the last month, and it was almost like I had forgotten about it!), confirming with all the vendors, finalizing the timeline & duties for each person, keep up the treadmill & teeth whitening, and work one more day before I start to have some family in town!

Everything has come together pretty much as I have expected it.  I've had a couple little snafus with the dress needing one more fitting and the flower girl baskets getting returned to the seller for reasons unknown because she didn't feel like waiting in the line to find out, but it's all worked out.  The dress looks great now, and I made my own baskets for $14 at Hobby Lobby and a glue gun & I think they look just as cute!

Now, I'm just praying for good weather on Saturday so the ceremony can be outside!!!  Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays with the 82 and sunny it says now

Thank you!!

After this weekend I'm finally about done!  Just finishing some scrapbooks for my bridesmaid gifts and getting all of my stuff together to head out to my parents on Thursday.  I am also really hoping that the weather is the 80 and sunny currently forecasted for my outdoor ceremony. 

It's so hard to believe that it's finally wedding week after 15 months of planning.  I am so excited and cannot wait to be done at work so that I can begin my 2 week vacation!  Thank you to everyone for all of the help and tips!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been knotting for almost a year and a half now, and it is just a little too weird to finally be my week! FI and I are both off work all week, so we have just been keeping busy trying to get everything done before the family starts flying in on Wednesday. Everything is really falling into place for us. A lot of little details are really coming together and I got a call from our reception venue today that the larger room was available on Saturday so we could move there if we wanted! Since we have a smaller wedding in a bigger room, our coordinator is going to add some cocktail tables and such....it's going to be awesome!!!

Tomorrow FI and I have our last date as single people. We're going to the Italian restuarant that we went to on our first dating anniversary.

Many, many, many thanks to all of the Chicago knotties for your support, ideas, and advice over the past year. I couldn't have planned my wedding as well without the knot! Hopefully TK will allow me to have a siggy sometime soon so that I can make a married bio....

Jess - I love the idea of going on a last "date" as single people.

And good luck to everyone this weekend. Your love is the most important thing to have and to share with your future husbands, families and friends!
