In less than 168 hours I will be tying the knot to a wonderful man that I can't wait to call my husband. Almost everything is finished at this point. I need to finish some of the many DIY projects that I've been working on. Clean up my apartment and pack up the decorations. Relax, Get my nails done, check in to the hotel, decorate the ceremony and the reception, finalize all the details and most of all GET MARRIED!!!
With the last few days and a tight budget there are some things that will just have to wait. I really wanted to create welcome baskets for my out of town guests. I also need to finish the wedding favors or possibly make a candy bar for guests to create their own favors. At this point I'd settle for homemade cookies wrapped in the favor bags. (I'd need some help to get that done.)
My ultimate goal to is finish most of the things on my to-do list by Sunday so that I can put the finishing touches on everything, decorate the reception venue and relax. I'd love to take a nice long relaxing bath the night before my wedding. (I hope I can get a few things from Lush so that I know I'll relax!!)
I want my wedding day to be as stress free as possible. I've already told the maid of honor that she will be answering my phone and filtering my calls. Planning a wedding can be difficult at times. All along the planning process I wanted a fun day that was care free and enjoyable. I wanted planning to be stress free and most of the time it was but the last year has been quite the roller-coaster. The one thing I was getting sick of is everyone putting in their opinion without taking mine into account. With the last few weeks I know I've moved to doing many things on my own mainly because I didn't want anyone else's view of how my day should go.
A few weeks ago I was watching a few different bridal movies and I totally agree with Emma from Bride Wars, "Sometimes it's about me, ... Not all the time, but every once in awhile it's my time. Like today. Now if your not okay with that, feel free to go" On my wedding day I don't want to hear, see, or deal with drama, While getting ready I want to do what works for me. If you don't like some part of my getting ready attire or my wedding day look, keep it to yourself. I only want to hear your opinion if I look like a clown (which I won't because I've done about 3-4 run-throughs now). I want people around me who want to help and will listen to what I need/want and not do what they think I need/want. After all this is my ONLY wedding day so it has to be full of things that go right and wonderful memories.
This will probably be my last post until after the wedding. In 7 days I will no longer be LalaLovelyBride, I'll be LalaLovelyWife!!!
