Coming soon ... wedding recaps!

Last night we picked up our wedding DVD from the amazing Jami of J. Concepts Productions. Along with the DVD we also received a disc of still images that Jami pulled from the video! It's with these absolutely amazing still shots that I'll be doing our recap posts over the next few weeks ... so check back often!

The Life of a Newlywed

We are getting ready to leave for our honeymoon in just 3 short days! I've got lots of photos to share & recaps to write ... but that's all going to have to wait until after our honeymoon!

Until then ... here's another photo to hold you over

Our first kiss as husband & wife

The New Mr & Mrs

Our Wedding Day

Today is The Big Day!

Don't let my post fool you ... it's been scheduled in advance because I'm probably sitting in my hotel room right now getting ready to head to the salon! I'm probably still very and anxious and excited --- those are the emotions I'm feeling right now, one week before the wedding as I'm writing this post and thinking about the wedding day! It's hard to know what I'll be thinking --- but I know one thing for sure ... it will be the most amazing day of my life ... the day I become Jon's wife!

When I return --- I'll be a Mrs!

See you all on the flip side :)

1: My last day as a single lady

1 day to go!

That's right ... the day before the wedding is finally upon us. This week went by sooo slowly! The only really good thing about being as organized and as much of a control freak as I am is that fact that I've been done with everything for the wedding since last weekend. This week has been all about relaxing and enjoying this time with Jon.

Today is my last day as a single lady! Today is our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Some of my family will be arriving at our house around noon today for lunch and then to help us get all our wedding supplies up to the hotel. We plan to check in around 3pm then get ready for the rehearsal.

I'm still anxious and I hope this day goes by faster than this week has! I bet the nerves will hit me right before our rehearsal ...

2: Check, check, and check!

2 days to go!

I worked 1/2 a day today and it's a good thing because I had a hard time concentrating!!!

With two days to go ... let's see what we've got left to do!

Toes ... check!
Nails ... check!
Picked up dress ... check!
Picked up tux ... check!
Got rings cleaned ... check!
Laundry ... 1/2 a check (it's in the washer as I type this)!
Started packing ... check (can't finish until the laundry is done)!
Started cleaning ... check (gonna finish in the AM after we finish packing)!

There's really not much left to do except ... wait. I'm so anxious! I'm not really nervous --- so I don't know if that means it just has not hit me yet that we are getting married THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW or that maybe I'm just not going to get nervous. Who knows. I bet I'll be a basket case the day of ...

There is only one thing troubling my mind tonight ... and that's the damn weather forecast!
Sure, our ceremony starts at 5pm and it currently says that its not going to be raining at 4pm (I can't look at the hour-by-hour any later than 4pm yet) BUT you'll notice that it shows RAIN from 10am to 3pm. Yikes! Our photos are planned for outside from 2 to 4:30pm. Ugh.

Rain, rain ... go away! Please come back some other day!

3: Practice does make perfect!

3 days to go!

EDITED TO ADD:
Of course the weather has changed again!
Looks like rain is the consensus --- and we'll be having our ceremony inside!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Today is my last full day at work before I get married ... tomorrow I'm only working a 1/2 day and I'm off Friday & Monday!

Over the past few weeks Jon & I have been practicing ... dancing that is! With Jon being a foot and a half taller than me sometimes dancing can be a challenge. Our first dance song is just over 6 minutes long ... so we've been practicing dancing to it in our living room. It's been fun ... and frustrating. The song feels like it plays for 20 minutes ... but I'm sure on the wedding day it will go by much faster!

At least this has also given me the opportunity to break in my wedding day shoes ... and in case you don't remember ... here's a photo of them again!
