Checklist
It's coming soon!
It's crazy for me to think that our wedding is NEXT WEEK!!
I don't know why wedding by color is saying 8 more days, it's 9!
They're trying to give me a heart attack, that's why.
Ok, so we still have so much to do and I'm literally in PANIC mode!!

Here's a checklist of things I/we still need to do.

-pick up my dress from alterations (it'll be ready tomorrow - picking it up 4/2)
-pick out and purchase my wedding band (It's picked out & pictured. We're picking it up Friday morning 4/4)
-get frozen petals and/or aisle runner decided against the runner, the petals look so much prettier
-figure out what other type of decoration I want for the chairs down the aisle...possibly tulle? It'll be three rows of 5 chairs on each side of the aisle. So 30 chairs altogether.
-finalize & pay for the cupcake cake (getting the plans for it finalized tonight)
-finalize the vows (got them emailed to me, I just need to make sure it's all ok and approve this is almost comlete)
-pay the flowers lady (this weekend)
-purchase the cake topperMy mom picked this up!
-purchase champagne & sparkling cider (for the kids & a pregnant friend) for the champagne toast
-purchase the guest book frame
-two more trial run sessions for my makeup (April 1st & 3rd)we got it figured out on April 1st, so this is DONE!!
-food & limited decorations for our party at our home. Did I forget to mention we decided to make this a potluck?
-apply some self tanner to distract from my whiteness!! (ASAP)
-get some crest whitestrips for hubby & I. I said I was going to do this two weeks ago!! (ASAP)
-get my hair trimmed and touched up & get my babygirls fixed up too (We have an appointment Sunday morning)
-mani & pedi's for hunny, me, and babygirls the day before the big day (Friday April 4th)
-come up with a schedule of events for the day of the wedding, photographer is requesting this. (ASAP)
-get in touch with my event coordinator for the winery, need to get a table behind the area we'll be standing at the reception. Needs to be for the sand and jars. (ASAP)
-Get music ready for the walk down the aisle, after they pronounce us as mr. and mrs. and for the music that plays during the toast & cupcake cake eating part. (We have most of the music picked out, I just have to burn it to a disc)

Ok, I think that's it. Wow, looking at it now, that's a lot more than it seemed in my head!

And to think, in the midst of all of this my hubby commutes over an hour and a half to and from work, I commute about 45 minutes to and from work, we have two boys in baseball with practice and games too!!
This Saturday his son's game is at 10:30 am and my son's game is at noon!!! It doesn't help that Easter was last Sunday so we couldn't get some stuff done then either!!

At least I found my shoes!! I can't find a picture though anywhere online, but trust me they're gorgeous, comfortable, reasonably priced, and absolutely perfect!!
