5 and 1/2 weeks until the wedding:)

The date is getting closer and closer! Just One month, one week and one day to go lol My bridal pictures went really well and I had a lot of fun. Paige went with me and was a big help!! (Love ya girl!) I did get a little dizy standing in the heat and had to sit down multiple times during the shoot so I wouldn't faint. So, I am trying to keep up with my vitamins and my iron pills especially to make sure this doesn't happen during the ceremony:)

I have my bridesmaid dinner this weekend and my bridal shower! I am super excited, this weekend is gonna be alot of fun. Friday night is mexican food and margaritas with my girls. Gonna give them their gifts I got for them. And then Saturday is my shower that Shena is throwing me woohoo! After the shower Stephanie and I are planning on going to a local winery to see if we can find anything we like:)

Things I got done recently with the wedding:
*We got the tuxes picked out and the boys are going this weekend to get fitted.
*We put another payment down on the reception, almost done paying that off.
*We paid off our cake!
*I bought a going away outfit and a bridal shower dress.
*The honeymoon is completely booked and paid for.
*And we decided no limo:( Not in the budget, but thats okay.
*Girls gifts are finished and put together:)

Things left to do:
*Finish paying off flowers, reception, photography and misc. We have about 35% of wedding left to pay off.
*Order the keg and buy the liquor for the gm.
*Talk with DJ
*Still need to decide if we will be doing dance lessons.
*Book place for rehearsal dinner, and make reservation for Sams boat after reception.

The week before the wedding my mom and I will be making tons of fudge for the guest favors! I figure everyone would rather have something good to eat then a crappy favor they will never use again and will most likely get lost in the car on the way home lol

103 more days=P

Well, just 103 more days to go until the wedding! (about 15 weeks) It finally seems like it is actually getting closer. A year in a half engagement is way to long lol For the past couple of months everybody keeps commenting "Oh its right around the corner", "Wedding is soon right?", "Not to much longer now"...lol My response is always uh yeah it's still pretty far away. That's how it has seemed...pretty far away. But now that some wedding related stuff is happening it helps to go by quicker! This weekend we are going to Austin and Stephanie is going to make my hair gorgeous for my bridal pictures:)My bridal pictures are on the 21st in Round Top.

The plan all along was for me to have the planning done ahead of time so when it got closer I could relax and not be stressed about it. So far I think I have done pretty good with all the planning. Which is weird because I have talked to so many brides and the majority complain about planning their wedding and how hard it is and how it isn't worth it. I guess I am the opposite because I love the whole process and have done the majority of it by myself. I even enjoyed putting together all the wedding invitations (which have been put together and addressed for over a month now lol)

So to help me out I am going to add a to do list for things that are remaining...
• Go Pick out Tuxes
• Make appt with DJ
• Purchase a keg
• Make reservation at Sam’s Boat
• Finish paying photographer, reception, cake, h&m, cruise, and flowers
• Find a going away outfit
• Book hotel at Marriot- Bush
• Dancing Lesson?
• Finish with gm's gifts
• Book place for rehearsal dinner (thinking Pizza shack in Willis)
• Book limo

Things that i got done this last week:
• Had Mrs. Susan fix my dress. (Thank you!!)
• Bought Aaron’s gm gift
• Finished purchasing the girls gifts
• Bought the wedding rings
• Booked hotel in Miami

So, that is all for today! Here is to 3 months 1 week and 4 days left until the wedding!
