What else? Am I missing something? I have to be!!

Has time flown by for us, or what???

It is amazing...Hard to believe it's here already.

He proposed almost a year ago on Oct 11th, and I thought the day would never get here.

We're down to the fine details now. Are you getting nervous??

Hey girls! I'm not really nervous, I just want the day to get here already!!!

lemme see....hmm...

1. I have to finish placecards, (I think I have like five left to do).
2. Meet with Florist
3. Pack for mini Honeymoon (taking real one in November)
4. Pick out a place to take photos the day of (I think I'm going with Planting Fields).
5. Wrap the rest of the bridal party gifts.
6. Get sign-in SOMETHING.....I STILL haven't figured out what I'm doing for this!! URGH!!!
7. Give vendors final call like the week before.
we just made final payments this week.
8. Final dress fitting this Saturday
9. Get veil steamed

Phew!!!! 21 days to go!!!!

Oh man, I am working on over a 2 year engagement so can you imagine how much I want this to be here?????

I am not really nervous at all, maybe it will kick in soon but I hope not. My MOH got married a year ago and she was so calm and cool and I want to be just like that, she is in my inspiration!!!

Now I'm upset that I looked at the stupid Farmers Almanac and it called for rain on our day!

let's pray it doesn't rain...that would be a bummer...

I have to many other things to worry about than the weather!

I can't believe we have less than 30 days!! Where did it go?? I still have to:
do place cards(still looking for fall ideas!)
get FH to get gifts for his guys(I'm glad I'm not the only one whose FH is slacking!!)
get RD outfit
get candles for centerpieces

call vendors to check in

There must be more!!

I still have a good amount left, with 22 days remaining!
