Wednesday Checks

Last night I went for what I thought was going to be my final fitting... My mother took my dress to her house where I am getting ready & I went home (almost an hr from dress shop).  It seemed to fit great - just that when she corsetted me in it, I held it up a little high and it was sitting funny.  Shame on us, we didn't bother to loosen it, lower it & retighten it again.  Well about a 1/2 hr after I get home the seamstress calls me and asks me to bring the dress back, that she wants to make sure it is perfect.  She told me that she won't be able to sleep at night until she is sure it is correct.  Inconvenient for me since now have to go there today before our rehersal - but I would rather have the dress perfect than complain about the way it is.  I am happy that she felt she needed to put me back in it to make sure it is perfect & if not, fix it before Saturday.   Fingers crossed it was sitting funny because I had it high.  I honestly think she sewed the built in cups a little high & that is the problem - another easy fix that she can do & I can leave with it tonight.  FI & I also did the money envelopes last night for our vendors.

Re: Wednesday Checks

  • All I have to say is thank goodness my mom is off work this week  as she's been doing a lot of the vendor check phone calls and taking care of the smaller things, printing off the escort card names, working on the rehearsal dinner menu etc. She rocks!!

    *Cleaning our house tonight for guests coming on Thursday.
    * Finalized a couple of last minute song details with DJ
    *I bought a pin for my hair that I need to attach to a clip to with fishing wire (fingers crossed it will stay in my hair)
    * Finish up GM gifts.
    * FI needs to write his letter for the wine box, I'm done with mine.
    * Gift for my mom

  • Yesteday I did a lot of shopping.  I bought
    -day of purse
    -alternative day of jewelry because I changed my mind
    -picture frames for signs at the reception
    -stands for the reserved signs for my reserved tables
    -honeymoon clothes

    Today I am going to do some more shopping for
    -wedding underwear
    -wedding night/honeymoon lingerie

    I have also been kicking my own ass even harder than usual at the gym this week (and will next week too) to make sure I am in tip top shape for the wedding.
  • Had our first issue.... GM tux delivered to the wrong store!  But, thankfully, it's not too far away.  So now our to-do list includes:
    -picking up tuxes
    -pack and go to my parents'
    -confirm set up time with rental company (a little concerned that I haven't heard yet)
    -odds and ends

    Not too much... feeling pretty on top of things all things considered... I can't believe that I'll be married in 3 days!
