Today is the day!

It's 5AM, don't have to be up for about another two hours and here I am, wide awake lol I'm not nervous (yet) I feel good, I'm excited, happy, thrilled and all the good vibes. I haven't had much drama to hope that nothing goes wrong and I've reached the point that whatever happens, happens. My goal is to make it down the isle.

Yesterday, we dropped things off at the venue and the manager and owner stated they talked it over and want to gift us sparkling cider for everyone during the toast! I was overwhelmed with emotion. They are being extremely attentive to detail and I have so much help from my friends and bridal party.

FMIL got me slightly upset last night but I'm just letting it slide right off at this point. I love her and we get along but sometimes she overdoes it lol. Last night during rehearsal, I let the bridal party know about HMUA arrival time and I asked them to be at my Airbnb at 9am because I am hosting a breakfast for them before the glam. However, the weather says 50% chance of rain in the afternoon/evening which yesterday evening it stormed bad! So Plan B is to get glammed here and we put our dresses on at the venue.

Sidenote: the venue does not have a bridal suite so we'd be using the smaller venue room they have downstairs as a dressing room. And I refuse to be stuck at the venue all day lol and it's not fair to everyone else either.

I was told by my family that while I was meeting with three of my friends who offered to help me today to coordinate different areas, she was saying that it makes no sense as to why I want HMUA here but get dressed at the venue we should all just leave dressed. And it didn't make sense as to why I was asking them to come to my Airbnb when she and her daughter who's also my bridesmaid are staying 3 minutes away from the venue (her Airbnb is so small so getting ready there was definitely not happening either way). Thankfully I had my family politely defend me and say I wanted to host a breakfast as a thank you to them and the weather can be unfortunate so to prevent having ruined outfits this is the best plan B at this time.

And to mention she was not part of the getting ready process she invited herself lol I texted FH immediately to let him know how I felt last night as he was with them (his siblings and mom) to let her know if she prefers to get ready at her own place she can but there was no need for comments and when I asked if anyone had questions or concerns that was the time to tell me. She calls me for EVERYTHING else.

But I got over it last night lol I'm like whatever it's our day and in just going to enjoy it. My sister is making mimosas. HMUA is at 11:30, getting ready photos are at 12:39 so I'm definitely tuning out ALL negativity!
