Activity for OldFashionedBride

2 days to go. yikes! So...after a stressful day yesterday, because FH's dog died. She was old, so we knew she was heading in that direction, but still...got the call from his mom (where the dog lives--out in the country) that the dog wasn't doing...

OK...one more thing for me to freak out about in the final week. We have allotted our venue time so that we can do a first look (just us and the photographer) and then get the group shots of family out of the way before the ceremony, leaving us...

Someone tell me it's going to be ok. That people are going to have a good time. That my DIY stuff is not going to look too hokey (there's not a ton of it, thank goodness). That the feeling of love and commitment is what is going to override the...

FH and I do like our photographer, and our E-pics were ok, but not spectacular. Possibly because we weren't very relaxed. But it didn't seem like we did very many 'creative' shots....I know it was too early in the day for the golden light of sunset...

Don't know if this was posted before. I just saw it yesterday. So funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENARMPuU758 also...LOL...using copy and paste, y'all almost got my wedding timeline. yay, computers!

The other post got me thinking, and worried. The one thing that I am the most concerned about ruining on my wedding day is the photos. I have Bell's Palsy...in college, I got an inner ear infection and the nerve to one side of my face was damaged, so...

So much fun! Could not believe the outpouring of love (and the pile of gifts)! My sisters put it on for me, and we had the perfect mix of friends and family there. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day (other than the other big day coming up soon)! And...

My shower is tomorrow! Questions: 1) When do I give the hostesses their hostess gifts? at the end? in front of other guests? I can't remember what my niece did when we hosted a shower for her last year. 2) Do people still have that superstition about...

Dear FMIL: maybe you think you're being funny, but when you refer to the wedding info I distribute as "the rules" and then mention that you are "following orders" it's not cute or funny, esp when you do it twice at our engagement party. How about...

So relieved. I knew that part of our venue fee was for the owners to also do DOC stuff, but I figured that they might not do *as much* as a full on DOC. I was wrong! She told me to bring all my decor stuff the day before at the rehearsal, and I...

Just needed to adjust the little sleevelets (tulle). Alterations are all otherwise done and the dress fits perfectly! All paid for. Only thing to do now is pick it up just before the wedding. yay!!

Yay!! That's a load off. Were trying to decide between 2 Disney cruises, and one went on sale and the other one hasn't (yet)...of course, it'll prob go on sale next week, but too bad. I'm happy with the decision, it works with our work schedules and...

Yay!!! We took Mom shopping yesterday and used a personal shopper at Nordstrom. Made it so nice to not have to wander around the store looking for things. My mom has mild dementia, so her ability to stay on task and to focus is not very good. She...
