Re: April Brides

I am going to sit down tonight and get a real long list of what is left to do. I have a checklist however it's missing some of the little stuff. I have a meeting on Sunday to look into invites. By tomorrow my BM dresses will be ordered. Then I think Sunday I'm going to look with Mom for her dress. We have to arrange a meeting with RH to sit and start going over menu etc.

Re: April Brides

I'm hoping to get many large check marks done this weekend... I got my cardbox in the mail today, so I can finally start working on that! I want to finish my aisle runner... finish my cake topper... pack everything away so it doesn't get ruined. lol.. if it doesn't snow too much I can get to MW to order the tuxes... maybe stop by the outlets to get the GMs watches... finish my silk roses to the bird seed toss,... and that's enough for THIS weekend! HAHA

As for next week I am visiting my RH to go over cake, linens, menu and all that. I should be getting my invites by the end of the week. Paying another large amount towards my HM... picking up my shoes... stopping by my jewler to clean my DOJ.... drop 15lbs or more...already 4lbs down form the original 20! HAHA... Figure out what shoes the BMs should get... pick up the BM dresses and start working on alterations... schedule another hair trail when my dress comes in... work on table number...work on unity candle...

And...then for the week after all I will have left is...
Paying OFF the small balance to my HM....paying OFF the florist... completing with the limos... Pay them OFF right away... lol... visit with Pastor one more time... and...that's it!! HAHAHA.... WOWIE!
