colleenm18 · April 2012

Tomorrow I hit 100 days and then will be in double digits! INSANE!

So this week my goal is back on weight watchers and I am joining a gym! I am ready to get myself into wedding day shape!! Also I will be printing envelopes and ordering some stuff for the centerpieces. My mom and I worked on these yesterday and decided what we want to do so I will post a pic once I have one!

Happy Monday everyone!

LADY324 · April 2012

This week I am working on our invites I want to send them out on May 1st. I just ordered the stamps for the rsvp envelopes. Right now I am number the back of the rsvp cards at work

Oh and my bridal shower is on saturday

Happy Monday!!

I am almost done with addressing our wedding invitations. My mom mailed out the shower invitations last week.

We spend Easter with FI's family and his mom surprised us with a big check for expenses so we will be able to add some things to the menu and get the draping that we wanted!! Everything is coming together sooooo well.

Another thing on my list is to order flowers from fiftyflowers.com. I am going to be doing that this week too!

ceglare4 · April 2012

We are now officially less than 3 months away until 7/7 and it is freaking me out!! I asked FI this past weekend if when he thinks about the wedding, if he gets even the slightest bit anxious, nervous, scared, freaked out, anything! He said no lol. We didn't get a lot of WR stuff done this weekend but that's okay, we don't have a whole lot left to do. Tonight and tomorrow we have dance lessons, and we're working out like usual this week. This weekend I am going to email our officiant back with our thoughts on the ceremony. Oh, and I am STILL on the hunt for a rehearsal dinner dress. Just ordered one from bebe so fingers crossed!

bells24412 · April 2012

I will be at 100 days in 10 days, now that is freaking me out a bit since I am thinking off all the stuff that needs to be done.

I am trying to figure out how to print on my wedding invitations but it comes out so low on the envelope! Does anyone have any pointers to center the address?

I am also trying to finish those frames. If and when I see the last of those frames finished I am celebrating!

Other than that, It is my FI Birthday on Thursday so we are going to to CT for the night and going to Foxwoods Casino and staying there since that is what he wanted to do.

Happy Monday!

I'm off of work this week and so is my mom and one of my BM's, so this week is definitly wedding planning week!

Tomorrow I'm going to the venue. I have a bunch of questions to ask. Then we are picking up FI's wedding band (the store is around the corner) and wondering around looking for a rehearsal dinner site within walking distance.

Then Thursday I have a meeting with the baker.

Friday my OOT BM comes to visit. We'll spend two days addressing/putting together invites, filling jars with m&ms and any thing else we can think of.

Also, I have to at some point meet with the florist, the dance studio, and we're going shopping for baskets to put programs and tears of joy packets in.

So much to do!

I am so tired

Carpet cleaners are coming on Wednesday and I am so excited. The house was so dirty and we haven't touched the carpets so who the heck knows what's in there, YUCK!!

Going to buy postage stamps today after work and get started on our invites!!

k8888 · April 2012

Hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend!

This week is going to be NUTS! My MOH's wedding is Saturday!!! Lots to do!! I just finished my speech and now I'm all kinds of nervous about getting in front of all those people... eek!

WR: I'm finishing up our invite addresses this week! FI is off on Thursday so I'm sending him to the post office to weigh our invites so we can order postage. I also just contacted our hotel to get shuttle upgrade options since the one provided for free just won't have enough room for everyone... another added expense.... ugh.

NWR: We had our house inspection over the weekend and they found a mold problem in the basement. If the sellers refuse to take care of it or reduce the house's price to cover the cost... we may have to walk away. We just can't afford the additional expense. I really hope the sellers take care of it.

AllyG303 · April 2012

WR: Our invites got ordered! I got my sister's BM shoes (to check the color), told the other girls to get theirs soon, picked out the flower girl dress and shoes, and got all of our DIY centerpiece stuff last week.

I would like to finish our card box this week. Also find a new officiant.

NWR: Keep on working out. Buy b-day presents for my sister, her boyfriend, and my mom.

Happy Monday!!! Wedding Planning week in high gear!!! ha-ha " double didgets"

How bad is it? Did they give you an estimate of how much it may cost to take care of it??

I hope they take care of it. If they don't do you know about how much it will cost to get it fixed out of pocket?

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

Hi everyone! Glad to hear about WR progress

k8888 - What a huge pain re the mold issue. DEFINITELY do not move into a house with mold issues that haven't been ameliorated. Those issues are brutal.

colleen - ME TOO. Definitely need to hit the gym hard!

WR: MY DRESS IS IN! My mom is going over to pay the rest of the amount to the dress store so that I can set up my first appt for alterations! I'm so nervous but excited. We also finalized the catering contract over the weekend and fiance picked out the tuxes at the store. Need to call my priest to tell him our ceremony choices and begin in the ceremony programs at some point before our VP groupon expires.

NWR: Work and hopefully going to the gym. Nothing exciting.

TChiumi · April 2012

Hello ladies I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

K8888 I'm sorry to hear about the mold problem I hope the sellers are willing to get that fixed for you guys.

WR: I can't believe in 3 days I will be in double digits! That is freaking me out a bit. I feel like I have so much little stuff left to do. This week I want to finalize the invitation wording so we can get those printed. I need to get some last minute addresses to my calligrapher, and order the chair sashes. I'm also meeting with the caterer to finalize the menu options.

This weekend my FMILs dress came in and so did my final BM dress so now we are just waiting on my dress, my mother's dress and the FG dress. I can't wait until my dress is here!

NWR: I need to go shopping for my dad and MOH's birthdays they are next week and starting today I'm going to try to hit the gym every day until wedding. I will also be looking for a teaching position at a new school. I found out last week due to budget cuts I'm losing my position at my school. I really hope I find something quickly.

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

k8888: I am so sorry to hear about the mold problem!! That is SO stressful/scary....keep us updated, I hope everything works out!!

colleen: DITTO! so scary how soon everything is coming up...I need to be better about sneaking cheat meals/sweets in!

ceglare: which dress did you order from bebe???? I got my shower dress there and I LOVE it. I am still searching for my rehearsal dinner dress too!!

Weekend was great. Fiance did some random wedding stuff but mostly just relaxed, cooked for each other, watched an amazing Julia Roberts marathon on O (Erin Brockovitch AND Pretty Woman, all in one night). Had some nice Easter celebrations with my family yesterday!

This week will be pretty routine work-wise. We are hoping to go see some more houses later this week! Not much going on but I am kind of excited about it! I am booked every single weekend in May so I am glad we have some slowness in April to balance it out.

Oh, but next weekend, my mom and I are going to try on my dress, try on some veils, and figure out what I am doing accessory wise!

k8888 · April 2012

Thanks, girls... it's just so nerve-wracking because this stuff is all new to us.

The inspector said it'll cost roughly between $5-8k to clean it up pending the results of the mold test he sent in. It's not the black mold, but the whitish mold that a lot of basements have, but most people don't even notice it. (It's on the ceiling of the basement on the wooden floorboards). He said even though it's a dry basement, the sellers should have installed a dehumidifyer years ago for preventative measures. The sellers have no idea they have mold, either.

I have a feeling they'll take care of it, because even if we cancel the contract, they're going to have to fix the mold to re-list it anyway..... and they just went under contract on the house they're purchasing, so losing us as a buyer would be really bad for them.

WR - We had our tasting on Friday, so now we can place our order for invitations! So excited for our food and wine, it was delish! Hoping to be buying FI's wedding ring this week too! And I am kickin it into high gear at the gym also! I was bad and ate my fair share nachos and beers this past wekeend at the Padres v. Dodgers baseball game :-(

NWR - I have a good friend from college coming in town to visit from Iowa on Thurs-Mon, so super excited to see her since I havent seen her since her wedding a couple years ago. She is 5 months prego now and will be missing my wedding, but looking forward to spending time with her this weekend.

6billionsouls · April 2012

Yay for Monday...we actually have nice weather, rather than rain so I am in a rather good mood for a Monday. This will definitely be a busy week!

WR - I am hoping to work on and finish my bridesmaids picture frames and our ring bearer's gift. On Friday, I am going to the bridal shop to try on the dress with my jewelry and order special undergarmets for the dress. I am excited to see my dress and have it on again! YAY.

NWR - My daughter's 10th birthday is Wed. I cannot believe how time flies! We're taking her out to dinner on Wed and then on Sat is her party. Ice Skating and sleepover! Cannot wait for all the joy she will have. I love seeing her little smile!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

littlemoments324 · April 2012

Fingers crossed K888!!!!!

Oh goodness...this week not much to do! I really want to get invites cut. Hopefully FI will be up to helping me!! (I'm not a very good straight cutter! ha ha...FI is precise & patient when it comes to that teehee!) Also, need to put all due dates in order...

ummm, I am not sure what else will be up for the week! Hopefully lay out by the pool or go to the beach...not quite sure!

Happy Monday!!!!
