Activity for Jessy

I've not been around much lately because its just been non-stop activity since the week or so before the wedding... but I'm still here and will be checking in more when things slow down. Just wanted to pop in quickly and share some good news. My...

You may remember a thread about a month ago about an interview request from AisleDash... here is the story they published about us (right beside a royal love story! haha!): http://www.aisledash.com/2010/06/05/love-story-jess-and-marc-louise-shaffer/...

This is like Christmas morning when I was a kid all over again! So after going to sleep no earlier than midnight every night for the last two weeks and not taking my naps either... AND staying up until 1 AM last night... I should be exhausted and...

That I'm getting married tomorrow! I can't believe it! Its all very surreal at this point. My family came into town yesterday. The car with my dad, grandmother, ex-step mother, and one brother first. They were bickering within five minutes of being...

In all my planning, I've counted on having a table for our cake buffet and a table for our guest book signing and gifts. Did I order these tables and table cloths to go with them? No. On one hand, its not a big deal... I can just shell out another...

One of my brothers calls me up to tell me about the drama that is going on between him, my other brothers, and our dad. This is more of the same drama that caused them to try to leave my dad behind when they travel down here. I'm aware of the issues...

Silly questions... here goes: Which of my father's arms do I hold onto? Also, my officiant told me to stand on the left (from a guest perspective)... should my family then be seated on the right so they can see my face better?

Okay, I'm a dork! I've been wanting marshmallow skewers forever, especially since I dug a fire pit in the back garden last year. I found some at BB&B and put them on my registry. They are so inexpensive that I could easily just get them myself, but I...

I'm working on my schedule for next weekend... particularly the day of the wedding. What sorts of things should I take into consideration? What might I need to do, but forget? The wedding is Sunday at 5:00. I'll be getting ready at my house and will...

My elderly neighbor is incredibly sweet. She just called Marc over to her house to pick up a wedding gift. Upon opening it, we discovered that she gave us a knife block and a set of 25 knives that she ordered from a TV infomercial. We need knives and...

Our friends threw us a combined party last night... it was great fun! They took us to dinner at this vintage looking restaurant that used to be a bank. We were in their vault room... which was super cool. The food was fantastic. The best part of the...

I am SO freaking overwhelmed right now. I took Friday off so I would have a three day weekend to get stuff done. I've done A LOT... but not enough. Tonight and tomorrow evening are really my only free nights to work on things this week... and there...

I need to share my sense of accomplishment for the sake of my sanity. My wedding is in 19 days and I've been stressing about what needs to be done... what was I thinking when I decided the END of the school year was a convenient time to finalize...
