  We are almost ready to go! 
  We still need:
  

  • Finalize transportation and driver
  • Finalize bartender
  • Buy more alcohol and mixers, order kegs
  • Track down any people who have not yet sent their RSVP

  That should be everything left on the list!  We just got our marriage license last week.

  @Dignity100 - where did you have luck finding your wedding fragrance?  What did you end up picking?

  I forgot to add this one to the TO DO:

  • Continue to pretend like I'm working when I'm at work, even though I'm barely doing anything...just getting by.  My head is NOT into it at all!!!

  We are mostly done. We need to:

  -Finalize booze (doing that tomorrow)

  -Get our marriage license (will do in a couple of weeks)

  -Bach/bachelorette parties (we aren't doing anything for these but I am excited nonetheless!)

  -Finish WP gifts

  -Final hair/makeup consultation

  That's it! Guess we are doing way better than I thought or I have just forgotten everything.

  @Pepperally - I went to Macy's.  I told the ladies what I was looking for and they actually listened - I said 'Fall wedding, but in Florida - so either Fall or Beachy' - they started showing me options, some of the ones that I thought I'd like from descriptions were just too sweet.  They recommended Jessica Simpson Signature which seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I don't know how to describe it - it has notes of citrus, sandalwood and vanilla and then a coconut type smell to it too - so I felt it was a good mix of fall and beachy.  I tried the tester and it stayed on from morning until I washed it off before bed.

  THIS. YES. Every day is going by so freaking slow at work. Right now I've been "working" on a project for about an hour now that should have taken me 20 minutes... shhhhh don't tell. 

  
  

  My to-do list:

  
  

  -Buy booze

  -Finalize my DIY hair. Considering trimming my extensions to be a little shorter. 

  -Final cut/color

  -Buy a better powder makeup brush

  -Get suites dry/cleaned

  -Break in my shoes

  -Get nail polish

  -Marriage license (today!)

  -Favors (I'm getting little succulent plants- which I dont' want to die before the wedding. So waiting until the last minute)

  -Designate relatives who will be  charge of decorating and other various tasks

  -Final wedding weekend timeline

  -Figure out an emergency day-of kit

  -Finalize reception music

  Ugh this SO me right now! I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 5 weeks!

  I'm sure there are so many things I'm not thinking of right now.

  - Finish parent gifts. We just got the cutting boards back from the laser engraver. I still need to do a final sand, and then add cutting board finish and screw on the wrought iron handles I bought for them and then wrap them up!

  - Stick custom water bottle labels on water bottles for the welcome bags and the RD.

  - Finish tying ribbon to the bubble wands for our grand exit.

  - Final dress fitting in October.

  - Hair and make-up retrial tomorrow.

  - Make final payments to our ceremony musicians, DJ, venue, caterer, favor designer, and hair salon

  - Final numbers due October 3rd.

  - Buy beer and hard liquor for the RD. We already have three cases of wine yay!

  - Finalize rehearsal dinner attendees.

  - I don't even know anymore...

  EDIT: Oh yeah! We were going to get our marriage license today but FI can't get away from work so we're planning to go on Tuesday when I work from home again.
