April 2013 Weddings

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! I for one am VERY glad this week is over. It seems super long for absolutely no good reason. What's everyone up to for the weekend?

WR - Looking into dance lessons. I just realized that I really need to get on this ASAP as time is creeping up. Hopefully getting a start on our escort cards and table numbers. And then just having a "what's left to do" pow wow with FI to figure out where we need to go from here. On the plus side, this week I had a few checks already! Envelopes are with the calligrapher, we ordered our return address stamp, and I ordered my BM gifts.

NWR - Going home to just spend an evening with my parents. FI has been out of town since Monday so I thought I'd just do a brief trip home to see them. Then Saturday will be watching the Broncos game with FI (I hope they win...just so he's happy :D). Sunday, I'm hoping for just some time to relax and chill with FI as I haven't seen him since Monday and Saturday will be all about the football.

    Happy Friday! WR: We plan to order FIs wedding shoes, my earrings and hair flower this weekend. I'm also going to set up my first alterations appointment. Super excited! We've also started getting RSVPS. NWR: Tonight we have some shopping to do and then we'll probably make dinner together. Tomorrow we're celebrating our 6 year anniversary at a casino hotel. Sunday we're starting the 30 day shred DVD.

    Anniversary
  • This has been the longest week ever it feels like. It is my first full week back since November! BLAH. I got to work and then all of a sudden I started not to feel well. I just hope it is the weather here messing with me and not anything more serious.

    WR: I plan on ordering our invitations tonight. This is FI's weekend off so it will be full of wedding crap. Tomorrow we are going to do centerpieces, take care of the cake, and pick out what he and the guys will be wearing.

    NWR: Hopefully I feel better by tonight because we had plans to do a low key game night with another couple. Saturday we are supposed to go to dinner on my boss. It was his gift to us for Christmas. Oh, it would be nice if we moved into our house this weekend too, we have only had it for 2 months now lol.

  • Hopefully my invitations will arrive today so I can get started on them this weekend(maybe, haha).  I have a jam packed weekend ahead, so maybe I can get some of them done at least. 

    Saturday: work on simplifying my resume in the morning, lunch meetup with my girls, shopping for raffle items for my debut party.

    Sunday: dog park, working on WP worksheet questions(this could be pushed off until later), and watching a training video for my debut party.
  • Britt - What is the 30 day shred? I feel like I've heard of this a lot lately...

    And Ich - what's a debut party?

    Obviously I'm not up on a lot of things :)
  • Like PP has said, this has been a crazy long week! It's been my first full week at work since Mid- December. I'm glad it's over. 

    WR: We got lots of stuff done this week. I set up meetings with our ceremony musician, setting up final meetings with some of our vendors, approved our invitation proofs, and finalized the hotel block. I also got most of my table number frames painted last weekend and have to finish them. I also ordered the sparklers for our reception exit. Tomorrow we are going to look at rings. I found the one I want, but FI has no idea what he wants so we are going to check out a few places. I also have a couple of small DIY projects to knock out this weekend. 

    NWR: FI is in the process of looking at new cars. So we may have a new car this weekend :)

  • WR: I get to go to the meeting for the announcements! Since FI is a graphic designer I get some serious perks for this wedding. One of his vendors has some amazing ideas for die-cuts and fun stuff.
    We are designing the handkerchief for the favor for the second line parade. Instead of the traditional printing we will have them embroidered.
    Going to dinner with the photographer to discuss what we want and maybe engagement photos if FI gets well.
    I pushed the dance class and registry appointments to next week so I don't kill the poor sick FI.

    NWR: lots of rest and 2 birthday parties on Sunday.

  • Von: it's a work out DVD by Jillian Michaels. I've heard it really tones you up.

    I'm glad this week is over too, as it's been a busy one, but my weekend is going to be almost just as busy!

    WR:
    - Wedding shoe shopping and I need to buy a pair this weekend because I have an appointment to get my dress hemmed on Tuesday!
    - Cake tasting/consultation with our baker to go over the details.
    - I need to get RSVP postage and figure out how I'm going to address my envelopes (my handwriting isn't the prettiest and I don't want to do labels).
    - Honeymoon: we might be booking our flights over the weekend!

    NWR:
    - I've got my weekly 5km run Saturday morning (actually really looking forward to that, it'll be great to get outside).
    - Some errands to run, all things I've been putting off the past few weeks but which really need to get done!
    - I'm currently finishing my PhD (submitting at the end of this month!!!) so I need to get a few hours in editing on Saturday.

    I'm going to need a weekend to recover from my weekend! lol
  • This week was rough. FI started a new job so our sleep schedule changed by 3 hours, which is just hard. Additionally, my company decided to inflict some fear regarding job security on the whole division! Ugh. I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

    WR:
    This week accomplished some big checks. Our wedding rings arrived and they're perfect. The invitations were sent and we've already started recieving RSVPs. We (finally!) found an officiant and put him on lockdown so that's one more thing off the list. Now, it's kind of the waiting game. A few decoration projects here and there, finishing my MOH's robe, finding FI's shirt for the wedding. Little things, yay!

    NWR:
    My house needs to be cleaned, like whoa. I'm still fighing a killer cold. Tonight we're hanging out with a bunch of our friends to have a game night and relax but the thing I'm most looking forward to is sleeping in tomorrow!

    </div><div>I started as a beauty consultant with a well-known skincare and makeup company and my debut party is where I invite everyone I know in town to help me kick of my business by introducing them to our products and letting them try everything :-)  Hopefully I can make enough money to at least break even on what I've invested so far!</div>
