Hey guys! No pics tonight, but you'll be proud to know that I have tackled some major wedding projects!
First things first, we had our final meeting with our DJ, who I actually love on a friend level! He's a funny guy! Hoping the friendship doesn't mean hes a sucky DJ
He is also providing our photo booth which I am also super excited about!
That leads me to first wedding project of Sunday, find a guestbook and scrap booking stuff for guests to use when they leave their copy of the photo strip! I know, I know, I know, very ambitious of me, but I'm hoping we get a few fun pages out of it, or at the very least the pics and their names signed! We ended up with this very simple, all in one scrapbookesque item from Michaels
SMASH Book, but ours is in the brown and the binding part is purple
We bought some stamps, ink, and stickers to go along with it, as well as glue dots! We also have a number of props for the photo booth, and may provide some disposables just for funsies! we're hoping photo booth attendant will remind people to place their photos in the book and have fun with it!
We even stopped for a nice lunch at P.F. Changs where Bob was all giddy about the honeymoon and wanted to know what we all were most excited about going back to Disney for... Kayla and I both replied with food answers, and that disappointed Bob and made me lol, like mother like daughter!
After that we came home, and chilled out for a bit.. and I do mean a bit!
After our short rest, it was time to get it together and head to the Inn where our wedding will be! We were having our potentially final meeting with our wedding coordinator. She has NOT been helpful by any means, and I have spent most of the time annoyed at them, but she was on point at the meeting and I felt MUCH more assured that things would go well! We finalized our menu, discussed timeline, took measurements for our DJ. All in all it went well.. we also ate dinner there lol!~ We really do enjoy their food!
We got home around 7:20 and started getting the kids to bed and then I started on the most dreaded project I have been avoiding....... the dreaded seating plan
It ended up being SO easy! I didn't have much trouble at all! Only a couple, where should I seat them moments which were fixed almost instantly! I was pretty darn proud!
The next day I had work, but Bob was off. Sadly we have decided that Riley dog will NOT be in the wedding. Truth be told, I am RELIEVED! Sad, but relieved! It just wasn't working out! The person I had hoped would ring him and take care of him couldn't do it, and I just couldn't find anyone else! I was having nightmares about him pulling someone down the aisle and then whining through the whole ceremony! So I spent yesterday morning researching local kennels while Bob took him to the vet for his yearly physical and update on vaccines (read spent a lot of money!). Luckily I found a great one, and it is very close to us and came highly recommended from other dog walkers! So he is all set up for his first doggy daycare visit the day/night of our wedding! I hope he doesn't hate us! Bob also went out that day and bought him a new crate... he has now chewed through not one but TWO metal wire crates.. how? impossible? No way? Yes, yes, way, he did! Snapped those wires right off! So we have now invested in a plastic one that has no wires or big spaces for him to chew out of! PRAY that it works!
Once I was done work we met back at home, waited for the kids to get home from school then dropped them at great grandmas!
After that we went to Target and purchased items for the bathrooms for during the weddings.. sprays, bobby pins, tums, mints, kleenex, etc.... I always love those baskets! lol I had fun with that one, like going back to school, school supply shopping fun! We even had time for a date night dinner! Yeah.. we ate out a lot lately! We are DEF in vacation mode already!
After dinner I started feeling REALLY sick! I've been battling what I think is turning into bronchitis. I say think as my mom, sister, nephew,bob, jack, grandma and Bobs brother all just ad it and I have been with all of them!
We came home, I sat on couch and next thing I remember is waking up 2 hours later to Bob cleaning like a fool! Apparently my body needed rest! Still does
I'm going to bed after this!!
I woke up this morning still not feeling great, but bob woke up early and he got kids ready for school and took Jack to bus stop so i could rest.... what I actually did was talk to Sophia on AIM for a couple hours and worked on assigning the number of each kind of meal to the tables I had made up! It was actually easy as well! Luckily, I've stayed pretty organized throughout with spreadsheets and what not!
Then I went to work, and then I was near Davids Bridal, so I figured I'd pop in and see my dress.. tried it on...STILL doesn't fit! Thank god it's being let out.. but BOO TO ME!
I'm definitely ashamed of myself! With that said, I LOVE my dress lol!
After that I came home, cleaned up a bit, and then when kids both were home I ran to my friend Caras who is working on my super special, super secret cake toppers! They are Disney, nerdy, and video game related! You'll just have to stay tuned for that one!
OH, I also ordered Bobs secret surprise cuff links, and my wedding Jewelry over the past few days!

I also managed to fit in a small food shop, cleaning and wrote our welcome letter tonight!
I am now exhausted and feeling awful! But proud and excited that I got so much done! Tomorrow we are hoping to get our licenses all fixed up (wrong address on mine, he lost his
) and then head to court house to apply for our marriage license !
and since it is now after 12 I can say 16 days til our wedding and 18 il our Disneymoon!
HOLY COW you guys!!
Now.. any tips on what to put in welcome bags? I know h is mom bought some stuf, and I got local maps and brochures.. anything you have loved in ones you have received? Keeping costs reasonable that is!
OKOKOK, going to bed! Night!
I'm flattered that you think my wedding is crash worthy! and thanks for sympathizing! Some days there I was like, are we the only ones lol!
and then Bob started singing down the halls of the court house, I married this woman, she is my wife! It was awesome and embarrassing and now I really can't wait for the wedding! 
) with breakast and then stopped at K-Mart for Bob to pick up some figurines to make his dudes boutineers! I was also able to score candy for the candy bar!!
