I know isn't it exciting. I can't wait. You ladies in the beginning of August are lucky. I have to wait all the way until the end of month for my day...but it is getting closer. 38 days!!

Hi Girls:

It is 17 days until the big day and I am ready to FAINT! Some of you may have read my post about the drama with my bm I had to cut from the wedding last weekend. To be honest, at this point I am exhausted and would say screw the wedding if I could just get a good night's rest.

sorry about that drama csui - i think if we could just have a good night of sleep it would help. i wish i had more vacation time. i could REALLY use the time - FH works nites & weekends often so its been hard to do anything 'together' and that upsets me.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

im kind of glad you all have the same problems to share... im getting real upset about people responding no (that i didnt expect not to come and give me with an explaination )... PLUS - all the people that havent reponded... we still need a lot.. we need 150 for the wedding. and only have 110.. RSVP is this sat..

did my draft of menus and programs today in the mad HEAT - thats the plus to staying in the AC all day..

hope all is well.. keep in touch

Our RSVP date is today! We are still missing about 40%. We are going to give up to next weekend before making any calls.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Tardy RSVPs are the worst! Someone told me that 'proper etiquette' is to give a four day grace period, then make your calls.

Fortunately, I was only missing one, but FILs were missing about 25! They still were unable to get answers from about 10 of those cards (note: RSVP date was July6) so I'm counting them as no.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

I went through the list this morning and I have sixty four outstanding but luckily my call list might be a lot shorter then my moms and FH.

How is everything else going? Everything all set for the big day yet? I am still waiting for some bridal party gifts to come in and final appointments. Hopefully it will all be done the week before the wedding so I can relax...but who knows if that will be true.

Edited for total spelling and funny icon.

Hi Fellow August Brides...

I just found this and I'm so glad I did! I CANT believe there are only a few more weeks to plan and do a million things!

Is anyone else feeling like they just don't really care anymore? I want to get married, I'm excited about the wedding....but to be honest, i'm looking forward to it being over so there won't be anymore drama and decisions, etc.

Om my goodness you spoke my language. I am looking forward to being married to my FH but this whole planning, making appointments, finalzing details, rsvps, etc., etc. I am very over that and can't wait for the planning process to be over. I must have said in the last three weeks we should have eloped to my FH hundreds of times.

We are almost there though, so we just have to hang in there.

augustbride12 - welcome to the thread.
