T E N more days!!!!!!!!!

Its REALLY hitting me now.
My FI is even acting differently - I can feel his excitement, too!

I only have until next Wednesday to get things done, because I want to have EVERYTHING completely done before my parents and sisters arrive Wednesday morning.

Woooooooooo!!!!!!! So excited!!!!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Thank you! She is possibly a lynx point siamese kitty or mix of some of that. Her blue eyes and her one health problem (feline hyperesthesia) lead us to believe she has some Siamese for sure. I have to check out that thread - I LOVE fur babies and can''t wait to have more someday! (We are not allowed pets in this apartment..shhh! )

 

[Lanie]

Yay July 25th!!!! I couldn''t sleep last night, and neither could FI. There were so many things running through my head.

I still have to:

Make cookies for OOT boxes (I''m nuts, right?)
Make OOT boxes
Buy one last bmaid gift
Buy flowergirl and ringbearer gifts
Wrap bmaid gifts
Wrap up honeymoon outfits*
Pack for honeymoon
Possibly buy a pair of good but cute walking shoes/sandals for honeymoon (GREECE!!!)
Deliver OOT bags to various hotels
Clean big time for our open house on Thursday at our brand new house! (YAY!!!)
Send out latest thank yous

*My friend told me that she had a different outfit for every night of their honeymoon. She wrapped each one up and took them with her. Every night before they went to dinner, she would let him choose a wrapped gift, and that''s what she had to wear that night. I LOVED the idea, so that''s what I''m going to do as well!!!

 

[AprilD]

Seriously.. I cant believe that its just around the corner!
Im getting really excited.
We have a wedding to attend this weekend, so Im hoping that itll be a nice time to take a break from the chaos

 

[SeattleSweetheart]

I can''t believe it''s only 10 days away!

I still have to print and assemble programs.
Wrap thank you gifts
Write thank you cards
Type out and print schedule
And then pack
And there must be some other misc stuff too that I''ll remember as I go.
I can''t belive my to do list has shrunk so much! Yipee!

Here we go ladies for the last push through until 10 days from now. We can do it!

 

[Lanie]

I swear I''ve been to Hobby Lobby and Michaels at least 8 times this week. I hate over buying stuff (like ribbons, etc) so in my stupidity, I keep going back to pick up more. UGH.

 

[Guilty Pleasure]

okay, I can''t read the other posts because I''ll have a panic attack if I see a list of things I haven''t done for my wedding in less than three days, but I wanted to log on and tell you girls to have a WONDERFUL last week before your marriage. Stay calm and take a few moments when you can to stop everything and hug your fiance. Trust me... I had to count to ten in my head a few times when he would try to distract me this week just to mess with me while I was busy with wedding junk, but in the end... it really is just junk! We spent our last weekend at home together, no showers, no traveling, just some time for the two of us, and if you can swing it, I highly recommend some down time together. I haven''t been logged in very much because my normal web browser doesn''t let me post, but I read all the time and follow my Texas girls Lanie and Meresal. You both will be stunning brides, and I can''t wait to see pictures in a few weeks when we are all married!

Best wishes to all of you!!

 

[meresal]

GP you are so sweet!! I hope you have an incredible weekend, and I can't wait to see your pictures as well!!

I am getting SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!

Other than the small/or not really that small issue with FMIL last night, everything has been incredible, and C and I are so ready to be married!! I have two more days at work and then all 7 days off before the wedding to finish everything over the next week. I'm headed home on Saturday and C will join me on Wednesday. I can't wait to get out of here and back with my mom to get all the loose ends tied.

Major projects are:
Programs
Favors
BM gifts (

I'm horrible)
Find dress for after the reception
put OOT bags together

I can't believe we are all so close!!!!! FYI Our wedding day will be on the 10-day forecast starting tonight at midnight!!

 

[Lanie]

cute kitty!!!!!

 

[meresal]

We''re in single digits ladies!!

My Wedding Day Forecast at Day 9:
Partly Cloudy High: 99 Low: 79 20% chance of rain (which isn''t too bad it might keep the temp down a bit

)

Anyone else want to share??

 

[Lanie]

High of 99, low of 76, and 10% chance of precip. It doesn't account for Houston humidity, which today is at 84%. GROSS. I hate humid summers.

 

[DMBFiredancer]

Partly Cloudy, Sunny, high of 75, low of 67
Redondo Beach, CA

Where is everyone else getting married?

Getting married in North Texas.

My Wedding temp just updated-
High: 100
Low: 79
Precip: 0% (so much for cooling off... LOL!)

Lanie: I HATE Houston right now. If you didn''t have to finish getting ready for your wedding, I''d invite you back to Dallas with me this weekend!! Still freakin'' hot, but the dryness is wonderful!! Even my make-up looks better when I''m there.

 

[Lanie]

Hahaha...I think Dallas is hotter temperature-wise, but they are pretty much the same with humidity factored in. It''s like a brick wall of heat anytime I go outside. I don''t know if I told you this, but I grew up in Plano. You grew up in Fort Worth or Houston?

 

[Lilac]

Good luck finishing last details! I hope you all have amazing weddings and come back with stories and pictures!

 

[SeattleSweetheart]

I''m getting married in Bremerton, Washington

Weather.com is predicting 81 degrees and 0% precipitation with mostly sunny skies.

Yipee!

 

[AprilD]

Four days ago it said completely sunny, no cloud.
Two days ago it said there was 100% chance of showers.
Today it says cloudy with sun, no rain.
All around the 20+ degree Celsius mark
Way to play with a brides emotion!!!!! Hahaha

Things to do yet
-favours (Monday) making caramel/candy apples YUM
-labels for apples for table seating
-pickup dress (tuesday)
-wrap bmaids & flowergirls presents
-print out day of schedule
-decide on a song to dance with my dad to (cant decide and he said its my choice)

I know theres more. But getting SOO excited!!!

Isn''t THAT the truth. Uggh, I just felt a wave of heat go over me. lol.

I grew up in Fort Worth, but I know quite a few people that went to East and West Plano. I didn''t know you grew up there. Shockingly and totally random, but the first person I met from Plano was when he almsot died. If you want to know the story I''ll be happy to share, you might know him. It was a horrible car accident on I35 north of Georgetown just before Christmas in ''03. I think he went to West, but was at UT.

 

[Lanie]

Oh gosh! I don''t think I know of that story. I lived on the west side but had to go to East because of zoning. It took me 30 minutes to get to high school, and it would have taken me 10 to get to West.

Sorry to turn the thread.

 

[luvinlife]
