July 2013 Weddings

Major Checks!!

Major check #1: He moved in!!!!!! He's been sleeping over for ages but all his stuff was still at his parents house. However, his grandmother purchased a gorgeous bedroom set as a gift for us and once it was delivered, he started putting his things in to the drawers and it just kinda happened.  P.S. The adjustment period is kind of brutal. I keep finding my things in random places, the bathroom floor seems to constantly be wet, I trip over sneakers in unexpected places and I now have a collection of hockey sticks, guitars and video games that I have no idea where to put lol oh, boy.

Major check #2: We booked our honeymoon finally! We saved for over 2 years so we could go to the Greek islands Mykonos & Santorini :)

Major check #3: I spent my week's vacation off from work turning my sloppy, girly apartment in to a home for a couple. Painted over my lavender walls with a more "adult" beige, put down wood style laminate floors, made some major furniture purchases and the most difficult - gave half of my closet space to my fiance. (I'm still crying over it). I even think this week his parents are actualy getting us new kitchen appliances.

Major check #4: My shower is tomorrow!! LaughingTongue OutCoolSmile I'm going to finally have real dishes, forks, mugs, etc! I've been using an assorted collection of paper plates and christmas mugs (for 3 years haha)

How's everyone else doing? Is your life happily chaotic too??

Re: Major Checks!!

  • holy cow!  Ive done nothing compared to you!! Congrats on all the checks!! 

    I guess I have two things? 

    1. For me, my biggest thing I did is trying to not spend any money! This past week, I spent TWO STINKIN DOLLARS!! Im soo proud of myself. So when I got paid yesterday I refilled my tank (a tank lasts me 2 weeks and got groceries). and I was able to make a $600 payment on my credit card. I if I have another two weeks like this one, Ill be able to pay my credit card off! This is my number one thing right now!


    2. other than that.. We got our address stamp, so Im guessing I need to start addressing these invites! 
  • congrats on the checks! My life matnly consists of school and kids right now. FI and I have already lived together for years lol. Thank God! I definitely know what you mean about the transitional period, it definitely can be brutal. Your honeymoon destination sounds amazing btw!
  • Yay for checks!!

    My major checks this week are deciding on my jewelry and head piece and the jewelry for the bridesmaids!  I'm so undecided about everything lately that this is huge that I decided on something. LOL

  • You have been very productive this week!

    I assembled my invitations with the help of my best friend (man of honor). We were up til 4am doing them after i realized i ordered the wrong style pocketfold (without a pocket) and quickl.y had to get over it.

    I also ordered and received my frosted votive holders I ordered for favors.
    ordered and received my hair comb and bridesmaids jewelry sets.
    ordered personalized matchbooks to go with favors... still waiting on those.

    I also just got a meeting set up with the Pastor that will be marrying us. After months of our schedules not matching up, we finally found an evening that works in about 2 weeks.

  • Probably our biggest check to date....we finally paid off our wedding rings and got to take them home!  We've had them on layaway since probably October, and have been paying off what we could since.  On Friday we made one last payment to them and now they're FINALLY ours!!!  The rings are where most of our wedding money is going, and I couldn't be happier that we completely own them now!

  • I've been very unproductive - I'm taking the DAT this Friday, so all things wedding have been put on the backburner.

    I did reorder my invitations, so I'm hoping those are at my house by Friday so I can take them to my parents house and do some addressing this weekend.

    I also rented our centerpiece vases (it sure adds up when you have 28 tables).

    Next on the list is to schedule my fittings and hair/make up trials. We also need to get our programs printed soon!

    Training to be the next companion.

  • I got engaged in February, so I am planning on a bit of a tight schedule. My major checks this week are that I am picking up my dress tonight (!!), we are meeting with the florist tomorrow night, and we have a cake tasting tentatively booked for Saturday. We are trying to crank out the big things so we can start focusing on the smaller details.

    I am designing my invites myself, and they are pretty much done. I still need to do the directions cards and RSVP cards though. I've started on the programs. Getting the invitations out will be our next big thing, and I also want to register before we send them out.
