But I still have to order my veil, buy the BM gifts, jewlery for me, go to all the final appts, make the programs, buy frames for the pictures that will be up at the wedding, and get the Marriage License

I am def. starting to feel a little overwhelmed - not so much with the planning, but more about how are we going to pay for everything!!

We still have to....

Mail our invites ( doing this weekend)
church programs
finalize menu
finish planning rehearsal dinner
ring bearer gifts
tie ribbons around our wine favors
get day of undergarments

music list

and I'm sure theres more, just can't remember

Literally finishing RD invites and favors, still need to:

make bo-k charms, finish scanning pics for picture board, get frame and mat for sign in board, make chocolate favors, programs and probably 5000 other things, but this weekend, nothing. IT'S MY BACH PARYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
