Wedding is in four days!

So, of course, yesterday morning I had to faint in the bathroom. I have two black eyes, my nose is all cut up, and I have multiple fractures in my nose. Oh yeah, and I completely destroyed my glasses.

So, don't hug me too tight at the wedding. And mind the nose!

Just what I needed...

10 days

I meant to mention yesterday that all of you who have access to the Bee (Amherst, Clarance or otherwise) should look for our wedding announcement in the August 8th edition. The 8th is coincidentally the 26th wedding anniversary of my parents, and the 23rd birthday of my lovely maid of honor Janelle.

Bill's parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary on the 30th of July. So Bill and I are getting married smack dab in the middle of when our parents did. Ha.

11 days

Heading back to Buffalo tomorrow in order to do more pre-wedding stuff. Should be fun times :)

Photos

Ah Ha! I discovered that I can post photos from Picasa straight to Blogger. Fantastic. This is a photo of me and my future sister-in-law Michelle from my shower in May. I just wish that I could post several pictures at one time so that I can share wedding photos with everyone easily. Does anyone have a suggestion for software or a website that would allow me to easily upload potentially hundreds of photos?
EDITI found that I have the ability to make webalbums with Picasa but my storage space is limited. I'll plan on using Picasa for now, but I am still open to suggestions! end edit

Lastly, I just want to make sure that you all know that Bill and I are expecting copies of photos you all take at our wedding. So, please plan accordingly, and we will love you forever.

16 days!

17 days

All right, I feel that while I have nothing very interesting to report, I should nevertheless report on progress since the wedding is in seventeen days. Yes, seventeen days. Start packing your bags :) Especially those of you coming early.

So, it's getting a little crazy. I spent a ton of time on the phone Monday and Tuesday in addition to doing paperwork. The good news is that the flowers and the DJ are all set, and so are the table assignments. And the ceremony music, wedding program and table cards are set too.

Now, all that needs to be done is printing the programs and some other things for the tables, making the place cards and favors and dropping everything off at the hotel. I should probably call and check on the cake sometime soon too.

A week from today I will be heading back to Buffalo to finalize everything and I will be there through the wedding. Should be good times :)

Last week Bill and I went to go see License to Wed. This morning we went to purchase our own license to wed. Fantastic. Now we're all set legally, and we left with a gift bag for newlyweds. I love small towns. The gift bag included a variety of samples, including coffee, Bounty napkins, deodorant, and laundry detergent, a booklet of recipes for cooking with aluminum foil, and most importantly a free AOL cd and an order form for novelty checks. Ha ha. And now it's official and legal for me to change my last name to Flannery after the wedding.

We were in Buffalo this past weekend and I worked with my mom on some table assignments. Fun stuff.

Oh, and my dress fitting went well.

And since I know you were all nervous, the jewelry I made for the rehearsal dinner outfit I have matched perfectly. Phew :-p

Til next time...

Updates

So, as we approach the four week mark, you may be wondering what I am up to. Or what we're both up to. Well, here it is in bullet form.

-Made jewelry to wear with my rehearsal dinner dress. I'm hoping it actually matches, as the jewelry is in Geneva and the dress is in Buffalo. I also learned to make earrings for this, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a way to tell me I'm awesome the day before the wedding :-p

-Bought wedding day jewelry. (Cheating?)

-Final dress fitting is on Friday.

-Meeting with the judge this weekend.

-We're hoping to get our marriage license next week.

-Saw License to Wed today. Quite funny, not very relaxing since our wedding is so soon, also we're glad we don't know anyone like Robin Williams' character/haven't put anyone like that in charge of part of our wedding.

-Came up with what I think is a fun guest book idea. Hopefully most people will think so too.

-Working on the wedding program. I think it looks neat so far!

-Starting on the dreaded table assignments this weekend. Eek!

-Bill made us really nice return address labels.

-I really need to start filling out paperwork to change my name...

-Also finished part of the bridesmaid gifts today. Yay!

-Working on DJ details.


Other than that, not much has been going on. I guess it looks like we've done more lately than it feels like we've done.

We're in the home stretch now!
