    I'm making one to display picture on (ours is buffet with no assigned seating). I'm using ribbon that I will staple gun to the back (easier than all that hardware!!)

    I bought an ugly old frame at a thrift store for $8.
    Using small metal clips for clipping the pictures too it.

    Here's an example with ribbon & the clips

    Edit: I spray painted the frame, lol. it's just black now!

    I'm getting Oct. 8. Have to drive from DC to NJ on 10/5, then we fly out of JFK on 10/6. And I have a LOT to get done, not to mention trying to help an elderly friend square away a passport and make travel plans THIS CLOSE. AHH!! I am about to have wedding pattern baldness!

    Just yesterday, I was in the eh, whatever happens happens mindset. Out the window today!

    Okay, according to Frank's timeline, we have 9 days!

    1. Crap packed and cargo van rented!

    2. Food ordered for Welcome Dinner and DOC has 15 page decor design for the wedding day! Yep, I am a micro-manager.

    3. License bought.

    4. We have clothes and the rings.

    5. Most importantly, we have the booze!!

    Still to do....

    1. Put the damn heart shaped maple candy in the freaking favor boxes and tie a bow.

    2. Put together the maps that will go into the welcome bags.

    3. Finish packing for Vermont and for the honeymoon.

    Note to self: Pack the Clonapin. After all, there is better living through chemistry.

    Good luck ladies!

    I'm freaking out a bit. Not because of things still left to do but the actual wedding part. I have no doubts about being with fi for the rest of my life, but it has been abstract for so long (5 1/2 years), I'm freaking out that it's actually happening. And in 31 days. What if we stumble during our first dance, what if the ceremony isn't long enough, what if, what if, what if....... lol

    I shouldn't worry about the what ifs, or anything for that matter, because at the end of the day, we'll be married. That's what matters the most.

    Days Left: 16

    Stress Level: 9

    Recent Accomplishments: written vows, legs waxed.
