Petals & Pixie Dust Planning Journal 11/30/2009/2010

Dont you hate it when people start changing plans because they "think" it is what you want?!?

Oh well, at least you know in 368 days you can stamp your foot and say "No!"

I love your favours! They're so cute. So how many people do you have coming to the dress rehearsal?

You should totally tell the person that you have to call on Monday that it's your wedding day, they'll think "Wow, this person is really commited! We should give them the job!"

It is sad..but I'm just going with it...Like you said 368 days and I can say NO!

I'm glad you like the favors..they were fun to make! 12 people including the officiant and the photographer.

I really want the job that I had the second interview for to call...the job is in my field and what I've worked so hard to get! AND it's the only job in my field where I live. However, this one will be second best I guess...Keep the pixie dust coming for the second interview job...PLEASE!

TWO DAYS!!!

I still need to pick up make-up, barrettes, and gift cards, but other than that and picking up the house some I think we are all set!

You must be so excited!! I can't wait to be in your shoes. Good luck with everything.

2 SLEEPS!

Oh my! Only 2 sleeps left! I had a wedding emergency...I broke a nail...down to the quick. It's still attached, so, I'm trying to be careful and not tear it...*gulp* Any remedies to fix it is greatly appreciated-it just has to make it thru Monday.

DF and I wen tto dinner last night and he asked if I had practiced my new signature yet...Um No...Last time I was messing around and practicing calligraphy he saw that I put my first name and his last name together and made a big deal about it and picked on me! We were already engaged-it wasn't like it was early in our relationship-he already put a ring on my finger! He said I could go ahead now. That we are in the safety zone. LOL.

I also found out that his brother is travelling down by himself. Now, usually DF's bro is late for everything. So, I said to DF "What happens if he isn't there on time." His reply was that if he wasn't there on time the show will continue. My reply was that that was the right answer. SHEESH!

I still have to pick up make-up and gift cards...but that will all get done.

Try superglue for your nail sweeite. I used to use it all the time to hold skin together when I was rock-climbing and it works a treat on nails too. I slid on a hand-hold and pulled my nail off but it was still attached at the bottom of the nail bed. A quick squirt of superglue later and I was good to go.

I really hate it when people start messing about. Sorry - red sauce and white dress? Sigh...

Take deep breaths... Remember you are getting married... And remember Disiney is to come

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Thanks Alex! I'll have to try that.

I'm starting to get nervous. In a good way. I just never expected to have butterflies!!! I'm so glad that we are doing all of this now...that way there will be minimal butterflies come the DFTW...*sigh*

Ok honestly, I wanna do this...

It's all good!

 

[BecBennett]

EEEEEEK! You're down to a matter of hours! Are you counting them down? You're going to be a Mrs. so soon!!!

16 hours!!!

OMG you're getting married tomorrow!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you crazy excited?!?!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

OMG you're getting married tomorrow!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you crazy excited?!?!

Yes! Butterflies in the belly are fun! I haven't felt like this in a long time! I'm eating cookies for breakfast b/c that is all that sounded good LOL. I watched Kermit & Piggy get married this AM. Then, off to the grocery store, get my nails done and pick up odds and ends that we still need-which isn't much, iron DF's shirt, pack my stuff and head off to my parents house for a high stress evening. The cake lady will be dropping off the cake. My friend will be dropping off votive holders for the mantle. I'll be taking pics like mad to share with you girls! Part of me wishes we were at Disney...I wouldn't have to do all of this but it has been fun b/c I'm getting both sides of the coin-one that I get to do some DIY projects for, pick certain music, etc. So, that has been fun-allbeit in some ways has gotten out of control-but worth it. And just think...after this-I get to do it all over again. I'm already jotted notes down for our first newsletter!

Ok off to start my To Do list!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

My last post was a bit wrong. When I posted that it was 16 hours until tomorrow...right about now...at this time tomorrow I will be a Mrs! The only thing I have to finish is some stuff around my parents house. That's it.

DF already left. I miss him. It's not like we haven't been apart before...but I just want to be with him. (It's not like we won't have the rest of our lives together )

At one point today I was just overwhelmed-his shirt needed to be ironed, my mom wanted to know when I was going to be over, choreographed the woman making the cake, my friend that had all of the candle holders, and I still needed to make 1 or 2 more stops. DF looks at me and says "What can I do?" -Nothing. He wraps his arms around me and says "I was going to save this, but I made reservation for our favorite restaurantfor Tuesday at 6PM. I know we couldn't do it tomorrow so I made them for the day after." I am a very lucky, very happy girl. That is for certain.

The cake is here...it's a mad hatter...its all white...with white gum paste flowers on the top...I love it! You can tell it's homemade-but I love it!

Table is set. Clock is ticking.

OK...I'm up...I slept like (&@%! I was stuck between sleep and awake all night long...(*singing* all night)...Mom's cleaning lady is dusting away. I'm just sitting here. I have to call about a job at like 10. (a different one) Hair appt at 12. I'm showered and just chillin' out on Dis! LOL...Actually. I think I might post some pics.

I hate that I sound so blah about the day...I don't think it has hit me yet. Really I don't. I just want to be in DF's arms. I miss him terribly. Whom ever came up with this tradition sucks! LOL

OH and it's raining here! It's suppose to stop...but it's raining. I've heard this is good luck.

Dad is off to work and will be back and then is "at our disposal." (good father of the bride)
Mom is playing on my iphone...it keeps her quiet.

Now, just a couple of things to do...clean off the mantle put up the lights. Friends of mine on FB are laughing at me b/c I'm on the computer on my wedding day...Well, what else am I suppose to do??

Off to download some pics! I maybe back...

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Ok...So, here are some of the pics...Here is my bouquet. I wasn't going to carry one by...mom liked it...Remember this is FSIL's bouquet that she used at her rehearsal. FMIL offered it up. I wasn't going to use it..it's dusty and dirty...but my mom thought it was a good idea...So, we went with it. DF put the ribbon wrap around it and pinned on the broach (my something borrowed-well...I guess they both are borrowed...) Now remember there was also a flower missing...DF put the straight pins in the back where we hid the missing flower spot and then the broach in the front. Good fix honey!

The Cake
Now, a friend of mine made the cake. She did a great job...it looks like the top layer might seriously fall off...but the "ribbons" around the bottom of the layers look like the ribbon on my dress...and the white roses look like the roses I'll be carrying...so it all works...

Thanks.
I called on the other job prospect and waiting to hear on the other job. (am I more nervous about getting a job or the wedding )

DF isn't even nervous. He says he has nothing to worry about.

The only major *** is that the bow on the back of my dress is folded! When they put the bag over it, they didn't use care. and folded bow down. So, I need to figure that one out.

Also, my hair lady called in...They called and asked if I wanted to reschedule...UM NO! I need it for today...So, they put me with someone else...

Other than that..its all good!
