Oh my gosh Lindsay, I just want to say that everything looks beautiful. I was reading Lurkyloo's PJ and TR about her wedding which lead me to Caryn's PJ and TR about her wedding and then I couldn't resist getting into yours!!!!
I got married almost 2 years ago. We also did a destination wedding...we did Vegas. It was stressful thinking about getting everyone and everything there safely. You have nothing to worry about. You will be b-e-a-utiful on your wedding day. Just keep in mind these last few days (before you totally loose your mind to "Bride Stress") that you are marrying the man of your dreams, he loves you no matter what, and you have a wonderful support system with caryn, meg, drjayne, nana katz and the rest of your family and friends. Just keep that in mind and hopefully that will help you not stress as much. Take in as much as you can and don't get too stressed to where you can't see the love of your life in front of you.(it's suppose to be Chris looking at you) I can't wait to hear more!!

Lindsay~ it had been a while since I posted on your PJ and since you're getting so close I just wanted to pop in to check things out. I love the crystals for the cake; I have seen similar ones used and they added a lot of effect.

 

[Lindsay22]

Some quick updates and then a TR of what we did for my "bachelorette" weekend.

First: We got the crystals for the cake in. They are BEAUTIFUL. We bought ribbon to go behind the crystals. I also got a purse and a shawl for the wedding. I couldn't find a white or ivory purse/shawl so I went with watermelon. I figure that this way, I'll get to use them again.

These are the crystals

Okay, now on to the weekend! When we got engaged Chris and his uncle decided that they were going to go to Montreal for a weekend for his bachelor party. I'm not a "go out and party and drink till I puke" kind of girl and a typical bachelorette party wasn't for me. Caryn, Megan and I decided that we would go to Houston to see Caryn and Mark and go to Nasa and see their resturant.
Caryn had a wonderful time at Nasa. Here are some pictures of Caryn having fun at Nasa.

We had a wonderful time at the resturant. I had a really good bacon, egg and cheese croissant.

We also did some work on the "new" veil. (Caryn decided that the original veil fabric didn't match my dress)

Martini liked the new veil

I had a lovely and relaxing time with my sisters... we also watched the Twilight movie. Caryn liked it a lot. I wasn't so in love with it.

 

[Starr W.]

Caryn looked like she was having way too much fun at NASA!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

nasa was horrible. they should be ashamed of themselves and their tram tour through the parking lot.

 

[theschuhows]

Your crystals are beautiful and I love the watermelon color! It looks like you enjoyed NASA but I'm with Caryn...it's super boring!! I too live in Texas and everyone that comes to visit wants to go there

 

[Starr W.]

That's exactly what a friend of mine said about the Kennedy Space Center tour.

Good. Caryn, we'll make sure to go the next time you're here.

 

[Lindsay22]

I just placed my deposit for Keepsake Floral!!

I'm going to get a jewelry box because Chris doesn't like the picture frames. I also think I'm going to get some Christmas ornaments like Vanessa (figment fan) had.

So far all we have left to do is:
Finish the bridal party t-shirts
Finish buying bridal party gifts
Set up favors
Complete seating chart
Buy water bottles for welcome bags
Fill welcome bags
Get park maps for welcome bags
Make CD of music for ceremony

Caryn needs to:
Finish menus
Create guest book cards
Make place cards when I send her the seating chart
Finish my veil
Mail me everything

(I thought this list would be much shorter)

 

[irisbud]

Your list isn't too bad (esp. since for part of it you just have to get after Caryn...)

You will get it done, you just have to make it a point to. Try and do some of the easier things first (water bottles, BP gifts) and then you can check them off and it won't look so long and you won't feel as stressed over it! :

 

[figmentfan814]

Don't worry you'll quickly start marking things off the list. One piece of advice, I kept putting off the music thinking it was no big deal and ended up downloading and it burning our disc at like 1 am the night before we left. No clue why, but it never clicked that music was a priority until that point; I was so worried about our bags, favors, etc.

It looks like you had fun in Houston even if NASA wasn't that exciting

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Lindsay you are almost there! You crystals for the cake are so awesome! I love them with the pink ribbon. You will get through that list in no time. Mine has like 50 things on it! but I still have 8 1/2 months to go.

Looks like you had a lot of fun on your weekend with your sisters. Sorry NASA stunk.

 

[adisneygal]

I love the cake crystals. 26 days left for us and your list is alot shorter than mine. Just thinking about it makes me want to go nap.....

I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

 

[twenty3curls]

Whew! Just read your whole PJ in about 2 1/2 days (it's been a slow couple of days at work!) I'm relatively new to the boards and stumbled your PJ while looking for brides that were still planning...something more fun about watching the process happen!

Love your color choices! And all the little details...too many to comment on in one post. Just wanted to say, I have never wanted a sister in all my 27 years...but after reading your PJ (and Caryn's, too!), I think this wedding planning business would be a lot more entertaining with some sisterly sass injected into it!

Hope you're enjoying your last few weeks before the big day

Oh no, you didn't like NASA? How nice of you to suck it up though for your sister.

 

[Goldeelox9]

You are soooo close!!!!! I am getting excited for you!

I've started a bunch of things on the list so far...

I will be happy to loan Caryn out for all sisterly duties

Oh no, you didn't like NASA? How nice of you to suck it up though for your sister.

Yeah, can't you see what a joy she was?

You are soooo close!!!!! I am getting excited for you!

Me too! I'm so ready for the day to be here!

So far we have:

Started compiling boxes of stuff that needs to come with us to the wedding

Still need to:
Put together favors.
Finish buying bridal party stuff
