June 2012 Weddings

June 9th Brides

It's coming so fast! I'm a teacher, so I've been so focused on end-of-year stuff and wedding planning got pushed aside for a little while. Last week, it dawned on me that had less than a month to go and had better get a move on! I still hadn't booked a hair and makeup person, but finally got that done. FI and I got a lot of planning done this weekend for the honeymoon and reception music, and I just finished our wedding ceremony.

Now I just have to get through this final week of school and then freedom! I can finally focus on finalizing wedding details and sleeping in everyday - I love summer! :)

But . . . I still need to track down rsvp's (grrrr), put centerpieces together, buy a few things, do escort cards and table cards, but that's the most of it, and I will have two whole weeks to get it all done, with no distractions.

So . . . what do you guys have left?



ETA: And I just found out this weekend that my "women's intuition" was correct. FI told me that his mom thinks I hate her. I've always been nice to her, invited her to my dress fitting (she's the only person who has ever seen me in my wedding dress!), helped her pick out her dress, included her in lunches with me and FI, encouraged FI to spend more time with her one-on-one (cause I know it's hard for her to lose her "baby" - she's single and has no other children), and we even invited her over for 4th of July this summer to have a family holiday with just the three of us after we're married . . . . but apparently I hate her and she thinks she'll never see her son again. Sheesh. More drama. I got over it and I'm just going to "shower her with kindness." Thankfully, FI stands by my side when it comes to issues with his mom :)

  • We have about 36 families who still haven't RSVP'd. Thats what i'm stressing about bc I can't give the cake baker a final count nor the caterer until we have a final number. Everything else that is left that i have to do is just putting together the programs ( once i get them back from the printers which should be in a day or 2), pick excursions for our honeymoon and then little DIY projects. Everything else is stuff that i'm going to do a couple days before the wedding like getting nails done, packing etc.

    Oh I can empathize with you on this.  FMIL told FI that she knows I am mad at her.  She couldn't tell him what I'm mad at her for and I'm completely clueless as to what it is that I am mad about.

    I thought maybe if I included her in the planning a little more and showed her the little details I have been working on because we do not live near her would help.  I emailed her some photos of things I did DIY and her reply was "Oh thanks. Nice."  meh

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one with lots to do and FMIL drama :)-

    I'm trying to stay positive, though, and focus on the fact that I'm marrying an incredible man who I love very deeply and who loves me the same!
