This weekend I

made a basket for the programs

made some wax seals for the RD invites

sent program text to Sonic Stef

oh yeah, and had hair trial. It was pouring yesterday so it kind of ruined my hair when I left without an umbrella!

Re: October Girls Update

Had a pretty productive weekend too.

Went to a dance lesson this morning (can't believe FH is actually going along with this). Picked out our cake and menu with Baker (bought lots of pasteries...dont' know what I am thinking by eating this type of junk 5 weeks before wedding) and caterer. Ironed out the timing and all.that fun stuff. They assured me that everyone will fit and to stop worrying about it.

I totally forgot to call the seamstress back. I was annoying her and now I've forgotten. I haven't had my first fitting yet. She works out of her house and said she will have it done in a week, so now I'm slacking.

Does anyone have an opinion on the table camara's????? I guess we're going to do them, but I guess I can't buy them till I know the number of tables I'm going to have.

Got another response back yesterday, without a name on it. I can sort of guess which friend of mine it is. But, now i have to call her. Uggg!

Re: October Girls Update

I had a thought as I was ordering my favors just now.

I looked at my countdown clock and realized I have reached a 'biblical moment' in this wedding odyssey. It's 40 days and 40 nights to my wedding day.

(ok -- you can all groooaan now!)

And the favors are: Cookies!

Re: October Girls Update

WOW! We're all getting so close....

This past week we went for Fittings. MOB, MOG, MOH, BM and ME!!! I go back 10/7.

Currently working on Programs, and ties for the bells, seating arrangements, still have a couple of people who haven't responded to the wedding yet. I'll have to make some phone calls because today is the RSVP date!

FOG and FOB got fitted this weekend while MOB and MOG went with me to the florist. I picked out all the flowers and such! So exciting! It's all coming together, I just wish I had more than a month left but I'll get it done. I'll pray

You wanna laugh, when FH and I got to the 40 day mark, he said it's like 'LENT' and he said, what are you giving up.....

I'm in the same boat-

How about:

Marriage license?

All undergarments (bra, panties, stockings)?

Blue, Old, New, Borrowed?

Detailed day-of timeline and to-do list?

Re: October Girls Update

Had my first fitting on Saturday...also went to Blums and got my bra and underwear (if u can call it that!!---SHAPEWEAR) THe fitting went pretty good..Not crazy about the undergarments, theya re not comfortable, but I look good!! So I guess u take the good with teh bad!!

Also picked out my cake on Saturday...Cannoli and mocha alternating tiers w/ tyellow cake and buttercream frosting...

Decided not to do programs...cannot be bothered...

My cousin is a book binder and she personalized the cover of our guest book with gold embossing on black leather....Will post pics of it, its really pretty...

25 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!1 Getting a tiny bit nervous but VERY excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
