I arrived Wednesday, the 2nd in the mid afternoon....FI and our little one are following the next day with my folks as I needed a day to run around doing last minute things without a 18 month old slowing me down! I can't believe I will be in single digits tomorrow until the wedding (9 days) and that I have basically 5 more days to get packed, beauty stuff (I won't even start with how ridiculous my eyebrows look right now) and everything else... But on the plus side, picked up my dress today and it is PERFECT!

Holy cannoli!! Does anyone else look at their wedding ticker and freak out and get excited at the same time at how close we are?!

Marlaina2014

Eeeeeek! @shoebunnie I totally have excited freak outs almost daily now!!

seniorprincesslnhs

So my packing is about 90% done and I have to get my beauty stuff done (eyebrows threaded and tinted and work outs) between work and family stuff....... Trying not to totally freak out right now- I have only 2 more nights to get stuff done and then I am off!

shoebunnie

Just remember to breathe @seniorprincesslnhs. If all else fails have a glass of wine!

Thanks @shoebunnie! I think I am managing OK, but I am about to kill the fiancé (he waited to Friday to buy his suit and it won't be finished until Tuesday night and I leave Wednesday AM and have to take it with me)....men- they just don't get deadlines! I just keep reminding myself that there is a bottle of Jack Daniels and a gym at the hotel (not at the same time, of course!) for all stress relief!

shoebunnie

@seniorprincesslnhs Ha! I thought mine was bad! We knew we would need to order the suit yet he kept putting it off.  Last weekend I forced him to go to Nordstrom's.  It's a damn good thing he went! His suit will be in April 14, hopefully April 11.  He will need minimal alterations but we leave April 17!! Jack is always a good friend...he's always there when you need him.

I don't have a ticker but just freaked a little at yours date twin!  @shoebunnie I feel like I can't wait and it's too close all at the same time!  

Marlaina2014

@annathy03... Date triplets! Eeeeeek! So close now!

shoebunnie

I've almost completely stopped eating due to stress. Sadly I haven't lost any weight (damn under active thyroid). On the plus side at least I haven't had a breakout!

Marlaina2014

@shoebunnie I have an underactive thyroid too! Get some Synthroid ASAP! haha. Also, I was JUST reading an article today about how important it is not to crash diet the week before your wedding! It won't change much except make you weak, tired and exhausted at your wedding. Better to be happy, healthy and a little poofy than to be totally out of it and grumpy on your big day! Getting close!

shoebunnie

@Marlaina2014 I wish I was just crash dieting! I'm just not hungry and when I try to eat I feel sick 75% of the time! I was on Synthroid for years and it never regulated me but I've been happily regulated on Armour for about 15 years!

missmo14 3 DAYS!!!!!

@Marlaina2014, @shoebunnie

OMG WE'RE IN SINGLE DIGITS!!!

shoebunnie

@annathy03 are you ready??

Marlaina2014

Eeeeeek I'm so excited! I'm not stressed (yet?) but I'm so ready to be done thinking about weddings 24/7!!! haha. 

annathy03

@shoebunnie haha, NOPE.  We need to do programs, table numbers, and seating cards this weekend.  I have a few other things to finish but the rest are small enough (like wrapping the bridesmaid gifts) that I'm not worried

shoebunnie

@annathy03 we need to organize our playlist, print out the songs for our guests (if they are interested), my FI needs to get his shirt and garment bag, and we need to pack! When we get to Vegas we have a million errands to run. Oh his suit will be in WEDNESDAY. We leave for Vegas Thursday!! I can't believe he waited so long to shop.

Dropveter

Eeeek! 2 weeks left!

Everything is done, so the waiting game begins... Can't believe I'll be a mrs. soon!

annathy03

Congrats to the April 14th ladies!!!  We want to hear all about your day!

And to my date twins @shoebunnie and @Marlaina2014, FOUR DAYS!!!!  OMG!!!

How are your lists coming?  I got table numbers and seating cards done this weekend, plus bought my cake topper and picked up my dress and got the veil steamed.  Still need to print programs (FI is doing that today), wrap bridesmaid gifts, receive flowers, finalize our timeline, book a limo from the hotel to the venue (worst case we cab it), and pack for the hotel and honeymoon.

Marlaina2014

4 days is so soon! I leave tomorrow morning so I have to finish packing tonight after work (and make sure everything is printed, labelled, glued, put together... ahhhhhh). I also put together a little folder with allllllllll the confirmations/contact info/timelines that I need to go over to make sure I didn't forget anything.

Then I just have to finalize my playlist for the reception (will do that on the plane ride down) and find some centerpieces and make them blingy once we get to Vegas. I'm just doing simple, skinny vases with 3 small candle holders, but I'm bringing my glue gun to bling them up once I buy them down there - didn't want to transport all that glass!

And my FI is picking up his tux later today! 

shoebunnie

We leave Thursday. Today is my last day at work. Yay!! Tomorrow I have a million errands to run and I need to start packing tonight! We need to rearrange our playlist tonight as well. When we get to Vegas Thursday we will hit the ground running. I wish we were going tomorrow! When are y'all picking up your marriage license @annathy03 & @marlaina2014? I found out this weekend the FI's suit will be in tomorrow and he has to still have alterations.

ssteele04

oh my gosh @shoebunnie, it still needs alterations!?! 

shoebunnie

@ssteele04 Yes! It will arrive unfinished but it's a custom suit so he doesn't think it will need much. Nordstrom's assured him they would get it done the same day it arrives. On a positive note only 3 more hours of work for me!

KrisLSmiley

Nordstrom was able to do some tailoring for us when my FI waited until the last minute too,  they measured him and did it while we waited!  We told them it was an emergency, it was an emergency that he forgot to do this sooner.  :-)   I'm sure it will work out great, they are apparently used to last minute stuff in the mens department!

annathy03

@shoebunnie we picked up the marriage license a couple weeks ago, definitely fill out the form online so you can use the express lane, we were in and out in 15 minutes, and it only took that long because they had non-express people at the windows when we went in.

Dropveter

Eeeeeek! Leaving for Vegas in 12 hours!!
