CLEAN the house!

I think that is all. It's going to be a very busy week because we have lots of non-wedding related things to do also before family arrives on Thursday. My favours are also being delivered on Wednesday by my friend who is making them so I have to have my house nice and clean by then. Anyway I'm off to finish a few things tonight so tomorrow is less stressful!

Only 5 days left!!
I can't believe our wedding is only 5 days away! I have so much left to do. I'm going to write a to do list for each day so I make sure I get everything done. It doesn't help although its great that I have a job interview on Monday. I hope I get it. It will take a lo of stress of FH after the wedding if I do and I will be very bored otherwise.
Anyway must go write that to do list!

Where did the time go?
My..my...how time flies!! it seems like only days ago it was 100 days to go and now it's 25!!

I might need to start taking sleeping pills so I actually get some rest and am not thinking about everything at night.

So here's my to do list! and there is probably more but my brain is feeling very frazzled thinking about it all today.

1.Photographer meeting-this is booked for tomorrow so everything we will be finalised and confirmed.
2.Dance lessons- the FH still wants to have about 4 lessons but I don't know when we are going to fit them in.
3.Organise flowers for altar and dads-got to get a flower arrangement and buttonholes for the Dads sorted next week as mothers day is coming up too.
4. Meeting with Pastor- booked for next Tues evening to finalise the program and ensure everything is ok.
5.Get last RSVP’s- still chasing the final few (might have to presume they are coming/not coming: I don't really know)
6.Choose menu- i have picked: just have to decide offifcially with FH
7.Confirm numbers and menu with venue- relates to 5 & 6 above: will be done next week.
8. Make seating chart- have started, will finalise in the next week or so
9. Finish guest book idea-making it, hopefully it works
10. Cut dow for ring bears
11.Make Just married heart-will see what happens
12.Organise and purchase suits- my FH is so undesicive
13.Organise stuff for boys-cups etc- got to buy
14.Finish order of service-nearly done: will finish after meeting with pastor
15. Finish and print Place cards-nearly done
16.Confirm hair
17.Confirm makeup
18.Hair coloured & Eyebrows threaded- need to book in or go get done

As I said there is probably more. I'm just nearly at pull my hair out mode right now. The FH keeps complaining about all the money we have to spend at the moment...but i've told him that's just how it is. Suck it up my Prince(ss) :)

Wedding Music And Songs
Finalizing everything for the day
Got to finalize my songs for the reception and then talk to the DJ to sort everything out for the day.

Some new songs I have decided on are:

Entrance to the reception
Hey Ho-the lumineers

First dance
I won't give up-Jason mraz

Bouquet toss song/dance-hopefully going to do a dance with my girls
Man I feel like a woman-Shania Twain

The FH is still deciding on his garter toss song. I've also got to finalize the no play list & the goodbye circle songs. Also have to finish editing the aisle music on garage band & burn the disc.

Ring bears (bearers) done!
These are my ring bears! They will stand on the altar with our rings tied on the ribbon. I love Rilakkuma so much & I had to have these bears when I saw them. Just gotta get the FH to cut some Dow sticks to help them stand up. They are so cute!

My wedding is a budget one however still extravagant....My theme is Purple Autumn and I want it to be pretty...I'm a very indecisive bride and I know that choosing wedding things is going to be a challenge.
