One month!! = )

So one month from today I will be a married lady!  I can't believe how fast the planning has gone & I'm so excited it's almost here!

We can definitely tell we're getting closer, because our week is jam packed with wedding related stuff...

Monday night - Final meeting with florist - Flowers are now PAID IN FULL!!  After that, had a meeting with our great, awesome, wonderful friends that are helping us set up & serve the food.  It's amazing to have such generous people in our lives!

Tonight
- I went to the jeweler & dropped off my e-ring & wedding bands to be sent out & get checked, re-dipped & soldered together... And now I feel naked!  I have a fake ring on, something I got for free from an Etsy seller, but it's SO not the same!

Wednesday - My boss is coming into town from CT for my work bridal shower.  I'm so excited for a nice lunch out with the whole department... It'll be fun!  Then leaving work a little early, to go for my first fitting with Brenda @ Amazing Alterations... A little nervous for that, but hoping for the best!

Thursday - Working on our burlap table skirting or whatever else I can squeeze in!

Friday - Right after work I have my hair trial redo & I'm hoping this one goes a little better!

Saturday - I have my shower on FI's side in the morning!  Looking forward to seeing all of those ladies!  After that, we're going to do some taste testing for the food we're getting & place our order.

Sunday- I think I might breathe finally!  And FI & I are hoping to make it out to Game Fair for a bit!

Whew... Lot's going on, but I'm handling it all pretty well I think!

There really was no point of this post, I just felt like sharing the craziness that is my life this week!  = )

    Ok...so I am just wondering, are you having issues with this? I, for some reason, am having a hard time with this. I get married the week after you, so I need to drop it off soon, but here is the problem. I feel HORRIBLE not wearing my E-ring when I go out for my bachelorette party..I have no idea why, I just cannot fathom going out with out it. I can't wait until after the B party to send them in as that is cutting it WAAAAAY too close, and I am not going to add any more stress than needed. I have thought about a "fake" ring, but it just isn't the same...so my FI suggested, I send it off tomorrow, get it back before the B party, wear it that day, and then not again until the wedding...UGGGGGH you can't do that either!!!!   Please tell me I am not the only one with this issue??

    You are not the only one with this issue. I would suggest hitting Target/Wal-mart/Kohl's and getting a fake ring. I am about ready to go get one myself! I dropped my rings off last night to go in and get soldered so I won't get them back for another week!

    We also need to take FI's ring back to the store. He has only been wearing it since Friday and it is pitting and scratched all up. It looks terrible! I am not happy with how poorly it has held up considering how long we have been married.

    Nope you're not alone AT ALL!  I hate it too, but I didn't have much of a choice.  I'm going to get something from Target tonight, becuase I'm not loving the one I have now.  And I figure if I have to wear it for a month, I'm going to at least like it! 

    I feel weird too, that I won't have it at my shower on FI's side this weekend or my bachelorette party in a few weeks.  I think I'd be to nervous to wear it before the wedding.  I don't want to mess it up or get it dirty at all!

    Last night I showed my naked hand to FI & stuck my bottom lip out.  He took my hand & kissed my ring finger over & over.  He said, whenever I get sad, he'll kiss it & that'll make it better!  = )  Cute, but still not my ring!

    Woo Andi!! You are sooooo close.  You think times flying now...it's just going to go faster!  Enjoy it!  I was so over it at that point that I don't think I fully enjoyed all the fun stuff leading up to it! 

    And I still haven't gotten my rings put together...I can't part with them! haha.

    Good luck with the final details :)

    What a busy week for you! Woohoo on having one month to go!

    I am not in the same ring position, as I don't want to get my soldered together- I want to be able to wear just my wedding band sometimes. That would suck though- I get so used to having it on all the time, I sort of spazz out when I take it off and think it's gone missing or something for a second.
