Weekend updates!

Share your WR and NWR updates from the weekend!

Re: Weekend updates!

  • WR: Nothing

    NWR: Went out of town for one of my sorority sisters weddings! It was a perfect day for the two of them and FI and I had so much fun! And I start my first full time job today!! :)
  • WR-had my wedding band streched, came to an agreement with FMIL about church decorations, started receiving RSVPs.

    NWR-Good and Bad-had a special date night with FI, had the pipes back up in our apartment and spent hours mopping up overflow.  PRAYING it will be fixed today (and that the apartment will have professionals come deal with the sopping wet carpet)
  • WR: Met with an AWESOME florist, started addressing invitations that will go out this week, tried on more wedding rings--sigh.

    NWR: Visited our townhouse that is being built, watched Courageous (enjoyed it!), played tennis with FI.

    Boo Monday!
  • WR:  Had bridal shower, started thank you notes.

    NWR: Went to my MOH's son's 4th birthday party, a housewarming for FI's co-worker, and had dinner with FI's family.

    It was a busy weekend...
  • WR:  I had my hair trial on Saturday.  It was great!  I had my makeup trial early Sunday morning, then took engagement pictures.  Both went very well, and I hope we posed correctly.  Can't wait to see them because after six years together we surprisingly don't have a lot of pictures.  Then, I had my bridal shower (forgot to take pic with FI again!) and it was great -- my bridesmaids worked so hard!  I put everything away and finished all my thank you's already, so now I just have to send them out today and do a few returns.

    NWR:  Cleaned the house and organized a lot, spent time with a good friend, went to hot yoga, went to lunch, dinner, and shopping with FI.  

    Busy weekend!  My first dress fitting is tomorrow!
  • WR: Had my first (and only) dress fitting :):):) It fits like a glove, and everything is perfect! Worked on finalizing invites, now just to fill in the blanks and we should be good to go to get them in the mail this week :)

    NWR: After my fitting I spent the afternoon with my mom and grandma going to some  of the new stores in town and had lunch with them. Sunday I worked on invites all day, and fi mowed the yard, we got a new chair for the living room so rearranged that as well!

    It was a busy yet successful weekend :):):)

  • WR: Received our first gift!  It kind of bummed FI out because it came from his favorite aunt and uncle and he's afraid it means they won't be able to make it.  They haven't RSVP'd and they have 3 nieces/nephews marrying this summer so I bet they just wanted to get all the gifts taken care of!
    Finished painting all our DIY centerpieces and purchased candles for all.  Have all my bridesmaid's gifts bought and wrapped

    NWR: Got called into work Friday by a chronic "no-show."  Applied for a new job Saturday : )  Spent some time with one of my 'maids and her beautiful babies on Saturday.  Sunday FI and I went shopping and out to a late lunch before he went back to work for the evening!
  • WR: worked on ceremony with officiant, bought gifts for the FGs, determined list of family photos, decided we needed bathroom baskets and bought the baskets. NWR: Some of FI family was in town visiting. Got to meet his brother, SIL and nephews. Spent Sunday running around showing them the town.

Spent Saturday with my sister/MOH shopping for the last few fabrics for her outfit and getting a few bits and bobs for the wedding. Filled her and my Mom in on what we have and what we still need. Got some RSVPs in, but not enough!

    NWR: FI went to his friend's bull's weekend, so I was home alone on Saturday - watched My Family Wedding and realised that I am marrying my best friend! Sunday was a very lazy day together - watched random tv and chillaxed on the couch together!

  • WR- had my first shower saturday.  It went great!  Organized all the gifts and put most of them in storage for now.  Our apartment is just too small and crowded with wedding stuff right now. Spent Sunday and part of today writing thank you cards.  We mailed out our invitations today.  All my bridesmaids were up for the shower, so they were able to try on their dresses.  The ones that were not sure if they liked the dress when I told them which one they were buying loved them :)  I am so glad.  

    NWR-Hung out with my bridesmaids who were visiting from out of town :)

  • WR: Nothing I don't think :(  I've been stressed with NWR stuff!

    NWR: This was my first weekend living with my aunt, and it is an adjustment!  I am having a lot of fun, but it can be stressful and I miss my FI like crazy!!
    Saturday - went grocery shopping with my aunt...
    Sunday - went to a grad party for an old friend, only to find out his Dad had died and the funeral was the day before (I felt like crap because I would've gone to the funeral if I had known)..

    Looking forward to the rest of the week, and FI is visiting this weekend so it'll be nice to see him!! :)
