*~*Lizby's Fairy Tale Wedding PJ/TR*~* - Day Seven FINALLY

[Lizby]

I went for my final fitting at David's Bridal today!!! I was nervous that they might have lost the dress or messed it up somehow, especially since I didn't feel very confident leaving my precious dress with a rude lady who barely spoke english. However, my worries were for nothing! My dress turned out beautifully! They hemmed it so I can walk in it without tripping now and they also added the bustle. There are seven hook-thingies on one of the inside layers of the dress and there are seven ribbons on another layer that tie together and make a pretty bustle. It seems very secure and fairly easy to do. You just match the ribbons with the hooks. Here are some pics:

From the front (you can see the bustle in the back) - look how it falls perfectly at my feet and not six inches past them!

I thought this was a nice pic of the back all spread out.

I am so relieved that everything turned out just the way I wanted!

I think I have also lost a bit of weight, so it fits a little nicer across the stomach. I am still hoping to lose at least five more pounds, so it looks even better.

It's a very pretty dress - and I'm glad the fitting worked out well.

Oh, I *love* that dress! You look beautiful. I can't wait to read the rest of your journal (I always have to skip to the pictures! ).

Thank you SO much for the wonderful comments! They really make my day!

I can't believe it, but we are getting married in FIVE WEEKS!!! I have been a busy little bee the last couple of days. Sorry, no pics, but this is what I have gotten done:

-FINISHED PAYING FOR THE WEDDING (thanks to the most wonderful, fabulous FMIL and FFIL ever!)
-Mailed in the affidavit and application for our marriage license.
-E-mailed our vows to Reverend Jack.
-E-mailed Randy about photos we want.
-Called to confirm our dining reservations, had them add that it's our honeymoon, and also made a new breakfast reservation for O'Hanas after seeing the pics of Lynn's tonga toast.
-Confirmed our pontoon boat reservation (the lady thought I said cancel instead of confirm and almost cancelled it!!! After what we went through to get that reservation, I told her repeatedly DO NOT, DO NOT cancel the reservation!).

What I still have to do:

-Rent a car for the second week we are in Orlando.
-Pay for hotel room.
-Enter flight info for Magical Express.
-Buy DF shoes for the wedding...he might need them!
-Ship dress to Carolyn Allen's in three weeks.
-PACK!!!! I don't even know where to begin with this one!

In other news, DF's bachelor party is tomorrow. His brother and a few friends are taking him to Atlantic City overnight. Meanwhile, I am having a girl's night out!

Oh my goodness, I will be a married woman at this time five weeks from now! I can't believe it!

Five weeks is soo exciting! Is it feeling real yet? Your so busy you probably don't have much time to think about it. Everything is going to be beautiful and I absoutely can not wait for all the pictures.

You're right! It feels like time is slipping through my fingers...right now I am concentrating more on the end of the school year and getting things wrapped up. We are also fixing up the place where we are going to live and are stressing about moving soon. We wanted to be in before the wedding, but I'm not sure if we'll have it done in time. Plus I have a state test for teaching coming up that I am nervous about. Oh well, just over a month and we will be in the happiest place on Earth!

There's been lots of exciting stuff going on! Yesterday I went to the mall with FMIL and she finally picked out her dress for the wedding. I love it! It is a turquoise blue color, has straps that are about 1 1/2 inches wide, a scoop neck, and comes to her knee. It looks really beautiful on her, and she has dark hair, so it complements it nicely.

I also got my dress for after the wedding from NY & Co. (it will be too hot to wear my dress all day and evening.) I'll wear my dress for the wedding and the lunch afterwards, then I'll switch into this one:

It is SOOO comfortable!

Today I got a special surprise in the mail! Our application for marriage was signed and returned by the Brevard County Clerk! So now we just have to get married and we'll be official. Here's me with the letter:

and opening it.... YAY!!

We are less than four weeks out and I still have no clue what to do about engraving DF's watch. I am thinking of just giving it to him as is. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Lynn! I keep thinking back to when your wedding was getting close and you were posting the number of days left on your myspace status. Now I can't believe I am that close! Here's hoping my wedding will turn out as nicely as yours!
