Next Week...

...it will all be over!
...we will be married!
...and we will be off on our honeymoon.

Everything is coming together. We actually have finished most of the name cards and favours and just need to tweak the seating plan.

The dresses are waiting upstairs.

All providers except the chapel and reception venue are paid in full.

Ri has 3 days left of work.

I have 6 days left of work.

This day, our day, is finally almost here. Not this weekend but the next, so, next week.

Next Month

Well I can finally say that we are getting married next month.
Its so exciting, here is a rough list of things that need doing:
Final dress fitting
Call the ?RSVP people
Place cards
Put candy in jars
As much honeymoon stuff as possible
Meet with the photographer
Pay off the reception, the hairdresser, the cars and the chapel.
Find someone to work the CD player at the chapel. I got an email from the chapel saying that the event coordinator doesn't do the CD player, they need to be available for 'emergencies.' My current emergency is that my wedding has noone to start the music! I REALLY don't want to ask a guest!

and next weekend HENS NIGHT! I am getting excited about it! The more I talk or think about it the more excited I get. I am very lucky to have so many people putting this event together. LOVE.

I found this on the net during my hens night research:

happy bride-to-be

Picture not related. I just like to add a photo, I'm a visual person.

So I've been reading through my blog and have noticed that I'm either cranky or feeling apathetic towards the wedding. I guess its because being happy can sometimes come across as being, I don't know the right word, boastful perhaps? Or maybe it's because a good friend once said that "nothing is ever as good or as bad as you think it will be."
I've found that to be very true.
Like I was looking forward to this wedding in November, and then spent the reception the the bathroom with a bucket throwing up.
Or at my 21st where I Broke My Leg.
Or at my 18th where there was a fist fight...
Ot at my Graduation from GEMS when we (my immediate family and I) didn't go out to dinner because no one could agree on a place to eat.

I feel like I'm sitting back waiting for something to go wrong.

Being Happy is tricky!

But here are some this that I'm happy about:
The reception venue. It is oh so perfect. and it's us. because it's UQ.

Our rings. We had them engraved with the date of our wedding and a little message to each other that only highschool friends will understand.

My dress and the Bridesmaids dresses.

That so many extended family members will be there!

and that I get Ri for 6 months! All to myself 24/7. hehehehe.
