I am getting married next Sunday!!

Hi ladies.  I have been MIA for a while trying to get check everything off my list early and I did it!!!  I have to bring all my programs, favors, guest book/pens, etc to my venue tomorrow night. 

I have been so overwhelmed with work the last month.  It was tough getting home at 7 PM each night to complete wedding tasks until midnight or later, but all my work paid off.

My sister and sister-in-law came by today and helped finish my programs and favors.  It was great having some help and they were fantastic.

My FI and I have been fighting nearly every day for the last month - with each fight triggered by my exhaustion from work and the wedding.  Today was a turning point for us.  He looked around and saw the boxes we need to deliver tomorrow and suddenly realized how hard I had been working.  I hope everything fits in the truck.

Depsite the fighting, the stress and lack of sleep, I am counting down the days until I marry my best friend and the love of my life.  I waited for him for so long and I was elated when he proposed.  I love him so much.  He loves me just the way I am and does not want me to change. 

On a side note - my father does not typically express his feelings.  I received an email from him last week where he asked if he could post a picture of the gazebo area where the ceremony will take place on facebook.  When I told him that he could, he posted it immediately.  I thought that he found the photo online, but found out from my mother that they actually went down there.  I was brought to tears when I heard how excited he was that he could post that photo.  He has been having a really tough time these last few years and it is wonderful to see that he is excited about the wedding.

Sorry for rambling.

    Carrie, that is so great to hear about your dad.  Makes me all teary eyed!

    As far as the fighting, I think it's really normal.  I know I was that way with everyone the week or so before the wedding, picking fights and just generally being a witch.  H probably got the least of it because we lived an hour apart and he was working a lot leading up to the wedding so we could afford for him to take the time off, but my mom had to have a talk with me about it at one point.  Oops.

    Another friend got so bad that the groom's friends asked me to pull her aside and talk to her about it at the rehearsal.  That was an awkward conversation, to be sure!

    So don't worry about the fighting - you know it's triggered by stress and exhaustion - and enjoy the beautiful day that you guys have created!

    so glad the big day is here for you! All your hard work is going to pay off and the day will be amazing for the two of you. I agree the fighting this close to the wedding is something that goes with the territory of planning a wedding. Congrats again and I can't wait to hear all about it!
