My family is all in town today, and we're heading out for the hockey game (GO GOPHERS!). I doubt I'll hop on tomorrow at all... so adios, ladies! When I return on Monday I will have a new last name.
Thanks for all the chit-chat and stress distraction the last few months.

*eat - Nutragrain bars were my best friend.
*hydrate - little sips all day
*pee - don't wait until it's too late to not be a crisis situation
*breathe as you walk down the aisle
*take a moment to look around. our wedding was a blur
*Have someone make sure the darn staff doesn't steal your plate during the reception.
Congrats!

<div>This list is great! I especially agree with taking a moment to look around (they have to wait for you, ya know, and this moment only happens once)</div><div>
</div><div>I will add:</div><div>
</div><div>*don't lock your knees and gently remind WP to eat and not lock knees.</div><div>*Eat a piece of your cake! I was so stuffed I had them box it up, but I kinda wish I would have eaten a piece with guests.</div>
Can't wait to see pics! Have a wonderful amazing fantastic weekend!
[QUOTE]I'm next weekend, but yes. I leave for Mexico tomorrow. Airport hotel tonight!

Excellent additions! I kept having to remind myself not to lock my knees. the second I would, I'd start swaying.
As for cake, it's supposed to be the tastiest cake of your life.. enjoy it! (We cut our cake before dinner so I had plenty of room)

<div>And aren't you from FL? Hehe, I'm just a wimpy redhead so a week of Mexico before the wedding would be trouble for me :)</div>
Also, what's with the "don't lock your knees" thing? I've never heard of that.
[QUOTE]Yay Steph!! I hope it's awesome, congrats! Also, what's with the "don't lock your knees" thing? I've never heard of that.

<div>C'mon! Weren't you ever in choir? No, but really, if you lock your knees longer than about 7 minutes it will cut off circulation and you will faint. It happens a lot at both weddings and choir recitals. Only I notice it's usually a GM or the groom, lol.</div>

Haha, I was in chorus throughout elementary and middle school but I never remember hearing that. Very interesting. I have been known to faint without locking my knees at all so I will definitely have to make sure I don't do that when the time comes. : )
