Super September 2019

Getting real....

Selena, on June 17, 2019 at 9:48 AM Posted in Planning 1 17
I finally sat down and wrote out the first draft of our wedding script. We chose music this weekend, and I realized that we have roughly 10 weekends before we leave for our out of state wedding. Eek...

Most of my DIYs are done... Except my veil and finishing alterations on my dress. I need to start addressing invitations.

Time just suddenly seemed to speed up. Anyone else have that happen?

    Yep! I felt it speed up at 100 days, and then to an unreal degree at 1 month. Try to get as much done before the 1 month mark while you can! The 2 weekends before my wedding I was running around frantically. It all worked out, but I could’ve time-managed a bit better 😬

    10 weekends? Yikes! I'm 75 days out. Still tweaking my attire. All that's left is my veil. Little details like guest book and seating chart. I can already tell RSVPs are going to stress me out because FH's family. I wasn't expecting many of them to come but apparently, more may be coming than I expected.

    Right?! I know putting it in terms of weekends made it really close. But I needed FH to understand I needed his help with stuff yesterday. Plus we travel the weekend before our wedding, so things really have to be done well before that.

    We are long distance right now, only seeing each other on the weekends so I plan my life based on weekend activities lol. It just made me realize how most of the 10 weekends left are already booked up with plans!

    I have 7 weekends! It's going so fast at this point! 50something days left. I'm hoping to be done planning by July 3rd, so I can relax for a bit.

    Mine is in October so I can only imagine, but I feel like all of a sudden things got at warp speed for me. We are officially less than 4 months away and I feel like there are a thousand things to do! Let us all pray for peace and sanity!! lol

    I’m at 68 days left and I feel like I have a bunch of little things to do. I was so chill and calm for months and now I’m realizing we only have a little over two months to get everything done 😬

    I need to get a few things for my flower girl and ring bearer. I have a short shopping list. Build and paint our arch, paint our bar, buy alcohol, order our cupcakes and cheesecakes, and get the groom boxers and socks. I want to send my e-ring in to get redipped because it's looking a little gold instead of silver. I also need to make final payments. My alterations appointment is today and I'm really excited about that!

    What do you have left to do?

    I'm at 4 weekends before my wedding weekend. That's crazy. I know FH still has to write his vows. And we have to do the seating chart.

    I agree! after 100 days it just seemed to fly by WAY to easily. I have to say I only have about 4 things left and they're mostly parent gifts/bridal party gifts but still. I wish to be done lol I have 5 days left and anything else that happens at this point happens. I think we've done well so far

    Yes, I swear the last 100 days have flown by! We'll be working on logistics this summer and I can't wait for it all to come together.

    Yes I’m 11 weeks away and just dropped my dress off for alterations, just ordered a veil online, haven’t finalized my centerpieces yet and just got my invitations in the mail to send out this month! It’s all happening quick and consuming my life and probably my summer

    58 days and counting. LOL. I am stunned how quickly the time is going. Now I wish I had more time. LOL. I have some personal goals I want to met before the deadline. My guys have to get their attire and I guess my honey is going to wait until the last moment. I am just letting him have it. I will trust everything will come out great.
