I had my final fitting last night too! Still have to finish printing and folding programs, put bows on favors, and do placecards. Looks like I'm in pretty good shape, that is, until I realize a hundred things I'm forgetting.

What day are you girls having your rehearsal dinners? Mine is on Tues. the 4th.

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Well ladies everything is almost done for me. I just have to pay everyone now. My menus, bells, scrolls, and programs are finished. Also the placecards are done. The hall will be paid for on Thursday and the church will be paid for on Saturday which is the rehearsal. Other than that Im looking forward to next week. I have a three day work week, family gatherings, and a day at the spa. Then I get married and off to Cabo San Lucas. I can't wait. A normal life is almost here.
