Our Married Life

Tomorrow is my Friday. Thank goodness. I thought it would never come. I was looking through my “box” of old stuff that Brian and I have been exchanging. Cards, pictures and such. Memories….Too bad hotmail deleted over 200 emails we exchanged back in the day. I was so distraught.

Anyway, we’re meeting with our reception coordinator tomorrow to finalize everything. I guess we have enough RSVPs to give them a count. We also have all our junk we’re going to give them. I realized I need 2 more jars for our candy buffet and a scoop. I’ll have to stop by Walmart to pick up a couple more bags of candy.

The programs are ready as well. I spent last night putting them together. It wasn’t as hard as I thought and it turned out better than I thought, although I could use thicker cardstock. Oh well.

Thursday will be a busy day. I am going to pick up my dress. I need to call all the vendors. I need to go by the Ft. Worth Flower Market to buy some flowers. I need to get my nails done. We need to pick up the tuxes. That’s it I think.

On Friday, I need to buy last minute stuff, and basically relax until the BIG DAY. EEEEK.

I haven’t worked out in 7 days. I feel terrible and awfully tired. I am so not relaxed and have been moody and crying. ugh.

OMG it’s almost here. We’ve been getting gifts in the mail. Yippee! So far only one thing broken :-(

But yeah this place is a mess. Boxes have taken over, mail all over the place, laundry not put up. Arg. I actually had a dream I was scrubbing the tub. Yeah right. I asked Brian if we can hire a maid to come over but he said no. We just need someone to help us tidy up for one day. My brother came into town Wednesday night with his family, but I think, they’re already in Florida. I wish I was at DisneyWorld. My sister and family is actually driving from MN and is on her way today. Crap I forgot to ask her if she brought the guestbooks. Brian and I will be shopping for gifts today, separately. I also gotta stop by and pick up my parents so they can go see Brookhaven.

I also dropped off my dress at Becky’s yesterday after work. I will be picking it up Thursday. I am still sad at what happened to it. Stupid cleaners.

Work has been totally hectic, I guess I’m finally starting to feel the pain and frustration. Sigh… I’m so ready for that vacation, even though I’ll be leaving at a hectic time. But you know it wouldn’t be so bad if things got done right away as promised. OK, end of that vent.

I guess I should also take my programs to Kinko’s to get printed. I may have to change the design a bit. It’s going to be a fast week!!!

So i picked up my dress yesterday from the cleaners. There are several areas on the dress with missing beads. ARG. I have to take it back to Becky to get her to fix them since she has the extra beads. I nearly cried yesterday.

Valarie threw me a great shower in Elgin last month. Then Brian’s parents’ friends threw us another shower this past Saturday. It was great. Met all the people I’ve heard about. The food was awesome. The cake was good. What a great way to spend my birthday.

HOLY CRAP, I know I think about it, but with the date coming sooo soon, I forgot we need to get our marriage license. We’re going to get it next Friday. DON’T LET US FORGET!

The deadline has passed, but it’s still not too late. Please do send them in. I got declines from people that I least expected it from. I hope they have a good reasoning. It makes me wonder, in the future, should I list these people as a priority? Should I attend their wedding if I was ever invited? It was more surprising than upsetting, so I guess I should get over it.

I’ve only got 2 weeks to go. MY GOODNESS! It’s quickly approaching. When we were first discussing dates, we were talking about Spring 2006, but I thought that was too fast. I feel like I’ve been planning forever. I mean I bought my dress a whole year ago! Speaking of dresses, I need to pick it up from the cleaners tomorrow. I hope it’s not damaged in any way, I would totally panic!

We have a couple’s shower this weekend, which also happens to be my birthday. We still need to bring some of the gifts we got from the last shower when we return.

The other night I worked on programs. I think it’s done and I just need to get it to the printers. I don’t know really know what to do with it. I guess I’m just going to keep them simple since they end up on the floors anyway.

Erin will be doing our makeup beginning at 10:30 on Saturday. I think I may have breakfast catered in for us girls, while Brian is watching the game somewhere. I do plan on getting pictures taken beforehand either in the hotel lobby we’re staying or someplace nice. And yes, Brian will be there. I’d rather have a moment with him before the ceremony than none at all because I would be too nervous about the attention during the ceremony. Plus, I don’t want to spend all day posing for pictures whereas we can mingle around.

So yesterday a coworker and I were talking and she used the words “your husband”. It freaked me out a bit. I just seems so awkward now.

I am the youngest person in this office and I’m getting married and I’m going to have a husband and I’m going to a wife. WEIRD…

I just realized we have 23 days to go. I have to get my dress to the cleaners asap to be cleaned and pressed. We have to go pick up our marriage license. I have to take my dad in to get fitted. We need to shop for our honeymoon. I have to make the programs which I DO NOT WANT TO DO… I think I’m starting to freak out a bit.
