Happy Sweet 16!! I'll celebrate mine tomorrow!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

Oh girl it is not just you! I am FREAKING out over here...what a horrible week! To wrap it up...

Today was my RSVP deadline and we are missing 36...that's 72 people!!!!!!

My florist burnt to the ground this weekend

My BM had a baby last month and is much bigger than we EVER expected and has to have another dress rush ordered in 2 weeks! Still haven't found a place who can do it!

After spending 6 hours making my aisle runner my pastor tells me NO AISLE RUNNERS under any circumstances

I am completely stressing!

---

SOOO SORRY To her about all this stress!!!!ughhhh one thing at a time!!! Hope everything has smoothed out a bit!!

Would you get cups sewn in instead?

---

she sewed in these cuplike things in between the layers of the dress because the top needed support to keep the shape cuz it sagged a little. she said i needed the longline bra to help hold the dress up from (which im not totally following)and because the tabs that have been sewn in to my dress need to go in there. but i dont know if i NEEEED it to keep the dress up.

im thinking i could try to gain a pound or two so i can skip the longline and hope the dress stays up because it will be tight. im really not sure if that would work. i dont want to have an incident or have to constantly pull my top up!

booo!!!! try not to stress too much. about the dress...call bridal salons in the area and see if anyone can sell you a sample (they might have a bigger size). did u try netbride or rk bridal?

if not...go to davids or macys or lord & taylor and see if u can just buy something off the rack that is in the same material/color.

and lastly...if u cant get a new dress...maybe a seamstress can let out the old dress or add fabric etc. but dont worry...u still have time for them to rush ship it. if u order it this week...u have 4 weeks....and then time for alterations.

send special MP3s and finish music list for DJ
FOX HOLLOW PAPERS TO FILL OUT!!!!


~*~ Still Have Left To Do ~*~

Create 1 complete CP, take pictures – include in CP boxes
MUST-TAKE PHOTO LIST!!!!!!!!!!
Make Donations
Call Video to confirm details
Call florist to confirm details
Bridal accessories (bag, spanx?)
Prepare tip envelopes & have ready for wedding day
Prepare all boxes for ceremony & reception items
