And They're Off!

I am so excited! Our planners just stopped by to pick up boxes and boxes of various wedding necessities for this weekend - OOT bags, bathroom baskets, flip flop basket, candy & candy bowls, pictures, votives, ring pillow, guest book, flower girl basket, etc. They're all out of here and I can finally breathe a little easier!

I can't believe the day is almost here. Only 3 more days to go and it looks like it's gonna be a gorgeous weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Crunch Time

Just for the weekend. I'm not going for good or for an extended period of time or anything...

It's the final weekend before the wedding and we have a lot of last minute things to take care of. Good thing we can do a lot of the things indoors because Tropical Storm Danny is going to make for a pretty rainy weekend.

Projects include making a photo list, ordering prints from the E session to display at the reception, putting vacation photos in frames for table themes, deciding which other photos to display, tracking down more frames, writing the sizes on the flip flop hang tags, labeling water bottles & chocolates, deciding attendant walking/standing order, write thank you notes for OOT bags, starting to assemble OOT bags & attendant gift bags, buy maroon colored M&Ms for cookie table (I know it's a cookie table but we wanted to give some candy away too :)), and possibly, if the labels and bags come in today, we'll put the monogram labels on the cookie bags.

Quite a lot to do but I know I'll feel so much better after we accomplish all of this.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Dreaming of a White Wedding

Happy Monday! We got a lot accomplished this weekend so I'm feeling pretty good today. We made the bouquet charms, spray painted the frames that we're going to put the table names in gold, tied all of the flip flops in burgundy & teal ribbon & glued aqua swarovski crystals onto the burgundy escort cards. Not bad, not bad. And tonight is a big night because we have the flower sample and we'll finalize the linens. I've been waiting for this for months!

Unfortunately, we missed another gorgeous beach weekend because we were so busy with wedding tasks again. And I just keep findind myself wishing the summer away. It's got me thinking that maybe we should have planned a winter wedding so we could have enjoyed the summer. It's our favorite time of year after all. But what's done is done and it's almost here and it's gonna be amazing!

Check back tomorrow for more engagement pix!

I'd Rather Be Beaching...

So much for plans. We were supposed to take off to the beach this weekend and then go to the Blink-182 concert Sunday night. Unfortunately we're still really really sick. Both of us have bronchitis and have been home for days now so I think the plans are going to have to change. I can't believe that after days of rest and medication that we're still this ill. I guess we'll just have to rest up some more and pray for that miraculous turnaround. You know the feeling, when all of a sudden you start to feel better and you can't even remember feeling so sick. I'm just really hoping that we're able to make it to the concert Sunday night because we have VIP tickets!

Oh well, the only good thing about being sick is that we have a little bit of time to accomplish some wedding things. Today's task is table themes. We're going to name tables after our favorite travel destinations and we'd like to have a picture of the two of us at each of the destinations. Guess we'll be pulling out the old photo albums. Wow, blast from the past!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
